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

MIDI Interface?
by Stewart MacLean Jan. 13, 2023

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

I am learning Pharo and like to have printed copies of books. I see that âPharo 9 by Exampleâ has been released and it shows âGet printed (soon)" When will that be available on lulu to purchase? Also there is another book titled âPharo with Styleâ and there are two links to buy a printed version, but both sites are in French. Will this book be available for purchase on lulu at some point? Thanks!

UK Smalltalk User Group meeting: Smalltalk and Self hardware - 29 June 2022
by Giovanni Corriga July 11, 2022

July 11, 2022

For our June meeting, Merik Voswinkel will give us a presentation on Smalltalk and Self hardware with a focus on manycore parallelism and distributed computing. This follows from Jecel Assumpcao Jr's SiliconSqueak presentation at the California Smalltalkers meetup ( https://youtu.be/CfYnzVxdwZE ). Merik will bring us on a tour past 50 years of late bound message passing Smalltalk VMs, Smalltalk RISC processors, David Ungarâs RoarVM, adaptive compilers, concurrent aggregates, clone-reduce, a processor per object, FPGAâs, Morphle Logic, Croquet and Teatime , Wafer Scale Integration, hundred (M1 Ultra), thousands and million cores ASICs, Cuniform, Matroshca Brains and much more in our tourney towards the Wayne Gretzky invention game of inventing the future. If there is time weâll go burning the Smalltalk disk packs, the intergalactic network GUI and the destiny of computers as intellectual amplifiers for humans pervasively networked worldwide and how we are going to communicate with Aliens. Merik Voswinkel is an independent scientist who build his first transputer supercomputer for Smalltalk after the Byte 1981 Smalltalk issue, build one of the first internet providers, works on SiliconSqueak, wafer scale integrations and Enernet energy computing. This will be an online meeting from home. If you'd like to join us, please sign up on the Meetup page ( https://www.meetup.com/ukstug/events/286314641/ ).

Hello everyone! question about Mongodb and voyage... Is there any way to build a query selecting only the fields of interest just like someone asks in this question? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43801636/specify-fields-to-return-in-vo… The answer is out of date but I think this should be supported because it is totally necessary. If it is not supported, Is this feature in your roadmap? Thanks!

Pharo 10 & Windows 10 - Frozen
by Arturo Zambrano June 18, 2022

June 18, 2022

Hi, I have installed Pharo 10 in windows 10 using Pharo Launcher. Whenever Windows goes to sleep or hibernate.... after coming back Pharo is completely frozen. The process is consuming almost NO CPU, and I cannot find a workaround to get it back to normal. Any suggestions? Thanks Arturo -- Arturo Zambrano LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arturozambrano/

OSSUnixSubprocess - not getting output from a command that pipes to grep
by Stewart MacLean June 7, 2022

June 7, 2022

Hi, I have a command that works fine in terminal, and I'm able to retrieve the output using OSUnixSubprocess. However, when I grep the output in the command, I don't receive any output from OSUnixSubprocess. So I get output from: "/Applications/Logic Pro X.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro X" 2>&1 but not from: "/Applications/Logic Pro X.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro X" 2>&1 | grep '==>' However both work fine when the enclosing .command script is run directly in the terminal. I'm a bit out of my depth here, but I would have thought OSUnixSubprocess would just retrieve the output from grep? Is this a problem with my .command or is this a problem with how I'm using OSUnixSubprocess. Code below: Cheers, Stewart >>startUpLogic Transcript cr; show: 'Starting up Logic...'. logicOSProcess := OSSUnixSubprocess new. logicReadProcess := [logicOSProcess command: '/Users/stewart/Desktop/LogicFiltered.command'; redirectStdout; redirectStderr; runAndWaitPollingEvery: (Delay forMilliseconds: 50) doing: [: process : outStream : errorStream | errorStream upToEnd ifNotEmpty: [: value | Transcript cr; show: value]. outStream upToEnd ifNotEmpty: [: value | Transcript cr; show: value]] onExitDo: [: process : outStream : errStream | process closeAndCleanStreams. self log: 'Logic exited with: ', process exitStatusInterpreter printString]] newProcess. logicReadProcess name: 'Logic Read Process'; priority: 50; "Processor userInterruptPriority" resume ================================================ I get output using OSSUnixSubprocess from this .command #!/bin/sh # xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Users/stewart/Desktop/Logic.command cd "/Applications/Logic Pro X.app/Contents/MacOS/" "/Applications/Logic Pro X.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro X" 2>&1 ======================================================== but not this .command #!/bin/sh # xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Users/stewart/Desktop/LogicFiltered.command cd "/Applications/Logic Pro X.app/Contents/MacOS/" "/Applications/Logic Pro X.app/Contents/MacOS/Logic Pro X" 2>&1 | grep '==>'

ESUG deadline for Presentation
by stephane ducasse June 3, 2022

June 3, 2022

Hi Happy Smalltalkers Two important points - We are starting to work on the program of ESUG 2022 and we will accept some more talks but do not wait too long. https://esug.github.io/2022-Conference/call2022.html <https://esug.github.io/2022-Conference/call2022.html> - The registration is open and the early rate is nicer than the late one :) https://registration.esug.org <https://registration.esug.org/> But you can sponsor ESUG by registering with late fees from 6th of July. But this is more expensive. S
