EXIF / JPEG metadata
by Alistair Grant Nov. 30, 2025

Nov. 30, 2025

Hi Everyone, As far as I can tell, JPEGReadWriter in Pharo 7 doesn't read (or write) the image metadata, e.g. title, keywords, exposure time, etc. Is anyone aware of a package that does? Thanks! Alistair

Re: [Pharo-users] Personal wiki / information manager

Seems that Pharo is a magnet for this kind of project. I've been writing one as well and using it to organize my research notes. Does anyone working on personal info mgmt tools want to talk offline? I expect we're running into some of the same issues, both conceptual and technical. Evan

Hi all, Just wondering what the current state of interfaces to MIDI within Pharo are? I gather that there was one (SoundScores that used primitives), but that seems to have disappeared... Cheers, Stewart

mapping CamelCase to <custom-tag-name>
by Siemen Baader Nov. 6, 2022

Nov. 6, 2022

Hi, I'm looking for an elegant way to convert class names with optional namespace prefixes to names for custom html elements. MYCustomElement and CustomElement to <my-custom-element> and <custom-element> There must be an elegant way to do it with regex or inject, but I'm embarrassed to say I can't get my head around it. I can get it to match the regex '((:isUppercase:+)*)((:isUppercase::isLowercase:+)*)', (if I recall correctly) but can't get a collection of the individual elements 'MY' 'Custom" 'Element' to lowercase and join. Thanks for any hints! cheers Siemen

Recovering old images in mac
by Arturo Zambrano Oct. 30, 2022

Oct. 30, 2022

Hi Everyone, I have some old images (around 2017) that I would like to load. Pharo Launcher downloaded a VM but while trying to launch it complains with the following message. Error: Error: posix_spawn(), code: 86, description: Bad CPU type in executable Which is the same message I get when trying to use the VM I found in a backup of that time. Is there a way of opening such an old image in MacOs Monterrey (running on top of the same machine this image was originally built)? If I am not mistaken it is Pharo 6. Best regards Arturo -- Arturo Zambrano LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arturozambrano/

How to handle conflict resolution in baselines?
by Eric Merritt Oct. 27, 2022

Oct. 27, 2022

Everyone, In a baseline in a project I am working on I have a dependency on both Magritte and Seaside. Magritte loads fine, but when Seaside loads, Monticello declares a conflict on the Grease package. You can see the WIP baseline here: https://github.com/ericbmerritt/profeos/tree/feat/working-goals/BaselineOfP… . So far, I haven't found a solution to resolve conflicts in the spec. The closest solution I have found is here: https://github.com/CCMi-FIT/kendrick-modeller/blob/9c76ff8170c67d5472cc1e1b… It works but seems to be stepping out of the declarative form of baseline definition. Is there another solution? Thanks, Eric
