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

Pharo CMS
by Siemen Baader Sept. 3, 2022

Sept. 3, 2022

Hi everyone, I was looking for a Pharo CMS. I got the Pier one-click image from www.piercms.com, but it seems there is a hardcoded path in the image. I get the error message: Pharo cannot write to the changes file named /private/var/folders/ImndBm_rpdOz3Bpyfiqvv0d4dc000Ogn/T/AppTranslocation/24424,42 BEB3 4E. BBC5 CMFBIElgi12/3/35/d/Pier app/Contents/Resources/Pier.changes (the image is not there but in my ~/Downloads folder). Any ideas how I can fix this? And what does Pharo.org use for its CMS? thanks, Siemen

Is there a pragma to disable a critic for a particular method?
by Eric Merritt Sept. 2, 2022

Sept. 2, 2022

Hello Everyone, While I take the critiques seriously, there are times when I will intentionally disregard a specific warning. In these cases, in other languages, I have found it useful to indicate that I am disregarding a warning by adding a pragma to disable that particular warning. I have been looking for similar functionality in Pharo. I found an old (circa 2009) reference to <lint> and <ignoreLintRule> pragmas, but those seem to no longer work. Is there currently a way to disable a specific warning in a method? Thank you, Eric

file-dialog
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand Aug. 31, 2022

Aug. 31, 2022

Hi everyone, I've been working to "rescue" the new file-dialog originally published by Peter Uhnak with additions of other contributors. This should load in Pharo 10 and 11: https://github.com/hernanmd/file-dialog One thing I've been doing is trying to use it a little bit to evaluate its usability and add details to improve the filters, make all tests pass and minor issues for example. As you can see there are some layout alignment details left, but they are not so important as to make the dialog unusable. Cheers, HernÃ¡n

[ANN] Stemmer uFFI binding
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand Aug. 30, 2022

Aug. 30, 2022

Hello, Stemming is a well-known technique for information retrieval which maps different forms of the same word to a common "stem". This, for example, enables the grouping of words with the same root. This new package provides a Pharo uFFI wrapper for the fast thread-safe C library implementation (English stemmer). Check out details at: https://github.com/hernanmd/libstemmer Cheers, HernÃ¡n
