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

The System Browser has recently started showing 2 comments tabs - one is text and one is formatted pretty. That seems odd and is not wanted - has anyone else seen this? Pharo 10 stable image - windows 64 - all reloaded recently...

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

Sacrilegeous question : what are compelling use cases for Pharo
by mayuresh＠kathe.in Jan. 26, 2023

Jan. 26, 2023

Hello, This isn't a mail intended to troll this community. I am genuinely curious about what would be the type of use cases which would be exemplary for Pharo? Now-a-days, anything one could have accomplished solely with Smalltalk (and hence Pharo) can be accomplished with a number of modern programming languages and their associated frameworks, e.g. Google's Dart with Flutter, Apple Swift with SwiftUI, Microsoft's C# with WinUI. And such languages and their associated frameworks are built from the ground-up for a particular platform, while Pharo does not have any such targets, which usually renders graphical applications built using Pharo to "look like" aliens. What does stand-out regarding Smalltalk (and hence Pharo) is the superior developer experience furnished as a result of the true object system combined with a full graphical environment. In addition to that, Pharo, specifically, provides advanced tools like Git integration, etc. But, are these things all that there are to be considered enough for highlighting the full inherent power of Pharo? Again, apologies if anyone found the subject line as well as the message body to be troll-ish. That has not been the intent. Kind regards, ~Mayuresh

There is a new edition of Squeak by Example which is now 5.3. Amazon is selling only the old edition from 2011. Can I upload the SBE 5.3 edition PDF to lulu.com and have it printed as a bound book?

Removing Calypso rule critiques
by Sebastian Jordan Montano Jan. 18, 2023

Jan. 18, 2023

Hello everyone, I would like to hide/remove all Calypso rules. I tried in Settings > Code Browsing > Calypso Browser > "Show critiques method" group but it does not work. When you are new in Pharo they are ok because they help you learn Pharo. But after a time they only bother and occupy space. Does anyone know how to make Calypso not show them ? thanks, Sebastian Jordan

How do I unsubscribe?
by Hedley Finger Jan. 18, 2023

Jan. 18, 2023

I can't find any info at the Affinity list-server about unsubscribing from this list. Presumably there is a special address but I can't think what command to add after pharo-users-???. TIA. Hedley Finger hedley.finger(a)gmail.com
