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

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

Pharo is unresponsive after forcing quit
by Stewart MacLean May 2, 2022

May 2, 2022

Hi, [Pharo 10 on Mac Monterey] Due to the multi-process nature of Bonjour that I'm attempting to interface to, I am crashing the system ALOT as it disappears down a black hole and I try to figure out the cause. However, I've noticed that most of the time when I restart Pharo it is unresponsive to clicks and I have to relaunch Pharo AGAIN! Argh....! The mouse moves but no one is at home. Right click brings up menus, but they don't respond. As I move the mouse, list items are highlighted. As this is a completely new OS process, I'm wondering what is causing this behaviour? Has anyone else experienced this, or have an explanation? Cheers, Stewart

Pharo Enterprise book HTML chapter links

April 30, 2022

Hi, All the Chapter Topics links on https://books.pharo.org/enterprise-pharo/ (bottom left side) are broken. Is it still possible to link to individual chapters ? Can someone have a look, it would be a shame to let this bit rot. Thx, Sven PS: Looking at the other books it seems HTML reading is completely gone, what a shame. This used to work fine.

Loading from a git repository with Metacello on a running seaside image
by Emilio Oca April 30, 2022

April 30, 2022

Hi List I need some help with Metacello, and may be git too I would like to be able to, in a running headless image, load the last commit of a git repo Something like Metacello new baseline:'MyProject'; repository: 'github://myUser/MyProject:main/myProject'; load. works just once and may open some dialogs Something like this [ [ Metacello new baseline:'MyProject'; repository: 'github://myUser/MyProject:main/myProject'; onConflictUseIncoming; load. ] on: MetacelloSkipDirtyPackageLoad do: [ :ex | ex resume: false ]. ] on: MCMergeOrLoadWarning do: [ :ex | ex load ]. Avoids the dialogs and alerts but the code is still not updated. My intention is to be able to 'refresh' a running seaside image with its latest development version from a git repo (avoiding to personally reach the server and rebuild the docker image) What am I missing? Best Emilio

A question about #beginsWith: and #endsWith:
by Richard O'Keefe April 29, 2022

April 29, 2022

I've just tracked down a nasty little problem porting some code to Pharo. As a result, I have added to the comments in my own versions of these methods. beginsWith: aSequence "Answer true if aSequence is a prefix of the receiver. This makes sense for all sequences. There is a compatibility issue concerning 'abc' beginsWith: '' + VisualWorks, Dolphin, astc, GNU ST (where the method is called #startsWith:) and VisualAge (where the method is called #wbBeginsWith:) agree than EVERY sequence begins with an empty prefix. - Squeak and Pharo agree that NO sequence begins with an empty sequence. # ST/X chooses compatibility with Squeak, heaving a big unhappy sigh, and adds #startsWith: to have something sensible to use. Now ST/X *thinks* it is compatible with VW, though it isn't, so I wonder if this was a bug that VW fixed and Squeak didn't? astc goes with the majority here. This is also compatible with Haskell, ML, and with StartsWith in C# and startsWith in Java." ^self beginsWith: aSequence ignoringCase: false endsWith: aSequence "Answer true if aSequence is a suffix of the receiver. This makes sense for all sequences. There is a compatibility issue concerning 'abc' endsWith: ''. + VisualWorks, Dolphin, astc, GNU ST, and VisualAge (where the method is called #wbEndsWith:) agree that EVERY sequence ends with an empty suffix. - Squeak and Pharo agree that NO sequence ends with an empty suffix. # ST/X chooses compatibility with the majority, apparently unaware that this makes #beginsWith: and #endsWith: inconsistent. astc goes with the majority here. This is also compatible with Haskell, ML, C#, and Java." ^self endsWith: aSequence ignoringCase: false Does anyone have any idea - why Squeak and Pharo are the odd ones out? - why anyone thought making #beginsWith: and #endsWith:, um, "quirky" was a good idea (it's pretty standard in books on the theory of strings to define "x is a prefix of y iff there is a z such that y = x concatenated with z") I was about to try to file a bug report for the first time, then realised that maybe other people don't think this IS a bug.

The advantage I had when managing my own and I can do a combination. Is that I always started a new terminal and then opened up Pharo and whichever image I wanted.

With Pharo Launcher all stdio goes to its terminal and from whichever image has been started. I don't know how difficult this would be. But it would be nice if they were an option for Pharo Launcher to startup the new image from its own new terminal. Just an idea. > > Again.

Re: [Vm-dev] HiDpi support in MacOS

Best, Marcel Am 28.04.2022 00:39:12 schrieb Juan Vuletich <juanvuletich(a)zoho.com>: Hi Folks, I just discovered that the recent 202204190959 Mac VM includes Tobias HiDpi support on the Mac. This is very good news indeed, but It is not exactly what most users would prefer. On a Retina MacBook, you can set an apparent display resolution (System Preferences.../ Displays). By default, my 2019 15" MBP suggest half "real" resolution ("Looks like 1440x900" when LCD is 2880x1800). In this case, the new VM offers the true native resolution to Cuis / Squeak. So, in this case, it works perfectly well, and everything looks really great. The problem is that MacOs supports several other apparent resolutions. Many people, me included, prefer "Looks like 1680x1050" or "Looks like 1920x1200") to have more room for other Mac apps. But in these cases, the VM doesn't offer the LCD native resolution to Cuis / Squeak anymore. It offers twice the apparent resolution, i.e. 3360x2100 or 3840x2400. Then MacOs scales this higher virtual resolution to the actual 2880x1800, but it generates visual artifacts and a decrease in visual quality. For my own private use, the solution is to use the EasyRes application, and set the display to the true 2880x1800 resolution. When I do this, Cuis gets the corrrect Display size both with previous and newer VMs. But it would be great if there was a way for other Cuis / Squeak users to get their true Display resolution by default, and without needing to change OS settings each time they start their favorite Smalltalk.

UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday, April 27th
by Giovanni Corriga April 20, 2022

April 20, 2022

The next meeting of the UK Smalltalk User Group will be held on Wednesday, April 27th 2022. Newspeak ( https://bracha.org/Site/Newspeak.html ) is a programming system in the Smalltalk tradition, whose current incarnation runs in the web browser. Newspeak is designed to provide the liveness Smalltalkers expect, as well as features atypical of Smalltalk such as modularity, security and good interoperability with the surrounding ecosystem. In this talk, we'll explain how and why Newspeak differs from Smalltalk and demonstrate the Newspeak IDE. Gilad Bracha is the creator of the Newspeak programming language and a well known researcher in the area of object-oriented programming languages. He was awarded the senior Dahl-Nygaard prize in 2017. He is currently a Technical Fellow at F5, and has held positions at Google, SAP Labs, Cadence, and Sun. He has authored or co-authored several books including the Java Language and Virtual Machine Specifications, and the Dart Programming Language. Prior to joining Sun, he worked on Strongtalk, the Animorphic Smalltalk System. He received his B.Sc in Mathematics and Computer Science from Ben Gurion University in Israel and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Utah. This will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up in advance on the meeting's Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/UKSTUG/events/cbklbrydcgbkc/ ) to receive the meeting details. Donât forget to bring your laptop and drinks!

Intended behaviour of flatten and flatCollect:
by Konrad Hinsen April 13, 2022

April 13, 2022

Hi everyone, I am getting surprising results trying to flatten nested arrays. So I read the docstrings. And now I understand even less how flatten and flatCollect are supposed to work. flatten says: "Recursively collect each non-collection element of the receiver and its descendant collections. Please note, this implementation assumes that strings are to be treated as objects rather than as collection." That suggests that #(1 2 3) flatten should yield #(1 2 3). But it raises an exception, trying to send do: to an integer. A quick look at the code shows that flatten is just flatCollect: [ :each | each ]. flatCollect: says: "Evaluate aBlock for each of the receiver's elements and answer the list of all resulting values flatten one level. Assumes that aBlock returns some kind of collection for each element. Equivalent to the lisp's mapcan" "Flatten one level" is different from flatten's "recursively". The assumption that aBlock returns a collection is also incompatible with what flatten is supposed to do (and explains my exception). I don't find the reference to a Lisp function very helpful. Assuming "Lisp" means "Common Lisp", this confirms the docstring of flatCollect:, this confirms the assumption of aBlock returning a collection, and that only one level of nesting is flattened. Since flatCollect does what it says, the problem seems to be in flatten. Either its docstring or its implementation are wrong. Or is it me misunderstanding something? Cheers, Konrad

ReStore and storing mixed dictionaries
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas April 13, 2022

April 13, 2022

Hi all, First of all, despite of being on a non-directly related matter with my question, congrats of Pharo 10. We (as now we have 2 active Smalltalkers in my country... Yay!) are creating a civic tech project with Pharo/Lepiter and we would like to store some Tweet metadata coming from Nitter[1]. As we're dealing with the differences between the official Twitter API and the unofficial Nitter one, we put the metadata we need in a dictionary that has several kinds of objects, from ordered collections to other dictionaries. [1] https://nitter.net/about Currently if we serialize a Tweet object in STON, we get this: Tweet { #created : 'Tue, 05 Apr 2022 12:37:56 GMT', #text : ' [ANN] Pharo 10 Released: pharo.org/news/pharo10-releaâ¦ <https://pharo.org/news/pharo10-released> \n', #id : '1511322244353597443', #user : NitterUser { #userName : 'pharoproject', #profileImageUrl : URL [ 'http://nitter.42l.fr/pic/pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/541743734/icone-pharo…' ] }, #metadata : { 'queries' : OrderedCollection [ { 'date' : DateAndTime [ '2022-04-05T13:36:58.546011-05:00' ], 'parameters' : 'https://nitter.42l.fr/pharoproject' } ], 'timelines' : { 'pharoproject' : '1511048498703126529' } } } As you can see, the metadata slot contains a dictionary with mixed classes of objects. But I read in the ReStore manual[2] (pg 14): """ Like other collections, the class of elements for both key and value can be any other persistent class, and will be the same for all elements of that collection (except in the case of inheritance). """ So, is ReStore unable to store metadata dictionaries like the one described in the previous STON code? if this is possible, how can I define it in the Tweet class>>reStoreDefinition? For the moment, I'm going to create a explicit "timelines" slot to store what was being stored at the #timelines key of the metadata dictionary. But, as metadata increases, instead of moving variables previously inside of a dictionary as explicit slots of an object, I think that having a explicit way of storing dictionaries with different kinds of objects, in contrast with only uniform ones, would be needed (but I don't know if this is in the design scope of ReStore). BTW, Lepiter has allow us to build a pretty fluent interface to browser Twitter/Nitter profiles and messages. Here it is how such UI looks for browsing last @pharoproject tweets: https://i.imgur.com/bxFze1g.png Any help on how to use ReStore in storing mixed dictionaries is appreciated. Thanks, Offray

the Empathy search box here: https://lists.pharo.org/empathy/list/pharo-users.lists.pharo.org Doesn't work. Not sure if thats something everyone knows and is working on or not as I can't search the list to see because doing in the normal way with google also doesn't work or comes up empty.... e.g. googling search box site:https://lists.pharo.org/empathy/list/pharo-users.lists.pharo.org search box site:https://lists.pharo.org/ Thanks

[ANN] Pharo 10 released!
by Esteban Lorenzano April 8, 2022

April 8, 2022

Dear Pharo users and dynamic language lovers: We have released Pharo version 10 (https://pharo.org/) ! Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback. Pharo 10 was a short iteration where we focused mainly on stability and enhancement of the environment : Massive system cleanup gained speed removed dead code removed old/deprecated frameworks (Glamour, GTTools, Spec1) All Remaining tools written using the deprecated frameworks have been rewritten: Dependency Analyser, Critique Browser, and many other small utilities. Modularisation has made a leap, creating correct baselines (project descriptions) for many internal systems, making possible the work and deployment of minimal images. Removing support for the old Bytecode sets and embedded blocks simplified the compiler and language core. As a result, our image size has been reduced by 10% (from 66MB to 58MB) The VM has also improved in several areas: better async I/O support, socket handling, FFI ABI, Even being a short iteration, we have closed a massive amount of issues: around 600 issues and 700 pull requests. A more extended changelog can be found at https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-changelogs/blob/master/Pharo100Chang…. While the technical improvements are significant, still the most impressive fact is that the new code that got in the main Pharo 10 image was contributed by more than 80 people. Pharo is more than code. It is an exciting project involving a great community. We thank all the contributors to this release: Aaron Bieber, Ackerley Tng, Alban Benmouffek, Alejandra Cossio, Aless Hosry, Alexandre Bergel, Aliaksei Syrel, Alistair Grant, Arturo Zambrano, Asbathou Biyalou-Sama, Axel Marlard, Bastien Degardins, Ben Coman, Bernardo Contreras, Bernhard Pieber, Carlo Teixeira, Carlos Lopez, Carolina Hernandez, Christophe Demarey, Clotilde Toullec, Connor Skennerton, Cyril Ferlicot, Dave Mason, David Wickes, Denis Kudriashov, Eric Gade, Erik Stel, Esteban Lorenzano, Evelyn Cusi Lopez, Ezequiel R.

Re: WebDav and CalDav in Pharo ?
by Jonathan van Alteren April 4, 2022

April 4, 2022

Hi CÃ¨drick, Udo, Any update on using WebDAV/CalDAV in Pharo? We need to work with it as well. We have created a GitHub repo from the SmalltalkHub project here:Â https://github.com/objectguild/FileSystemNetwork All unit tests are green using a test server URL created usingÂ https://www.webdavserver.com. However, there seem to be some issues handling the actual file contents. Is there anybody with experience of the Pharo 8 implementation of FileSystem etc. who wants to assist? (FYI, we cannot work in Pharo 9 (or 10) yet because of technical contraints.) Best, Jonathan van Alteren Guild Member | Object Guild B.V.

I think this is due to the stream refactoring. Right now the image hung. Iâll try maybe to load it manually.
