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...

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

It's been a while since I've used Pharo, and I'm having trouble with multibyte input on linux.
by peter yoo July 13, 2023

July 13, 2023

Until PHARO 9.0, I had no problem with XIM input on LINUX. After a long time, I heard about PHARO 11 and tested it and it doesn't accept XIM input. I tested it and it doesn't accept XIM input on PHARO 10 either. * ubuntu 22.04 * linux * fcitx xim * korean input I'm using this combination, and I'm using pharo-launcher. Maybe the community can give me a hint? -- http://lookandwalk.com http://looknw.com | http://onionmixer.net peter yoo(Jonghwa Yoo). ROK

UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting: David Buck - Beagle Smalltalk, 28 June 2023
by Giovanni Corriga June 26, 2023

June 26, 2023

For the UKSTUG June meeting, Simberon's David Buck will present Beagle Smalltalk. Over the past 8 years, David has been developing a Smalltalk virtual machine and image. He used it to release two Smalltalk games which ran on Android and iPhone devices. More recently, he's re-written the VM to use a new bytecode set and re-written the Smalltalk compiler with a new framework to make a new Smalltalk environment called Beagle Smalltalk named after the ship that took Darwin on his voyage of discovery. David plans to release this as an open-source Smalltalk to help and encourage kids to explore the world of programming. In this talk, David presents the current status of the project and where he hopes to go with it. David Buck is the president of Simberon ( http://simberon.com/ ) - a company that has been providing Smalltalk training and consulting for over 25 years. Along with James Robertson, David produced the Industry Misinterpretations podcast and later the Smalltalk Reflections podcast with Craig Latta. David remains a Smalltalk enthusiast and works to spread the word about Smalltalk. 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/293933993/ ) to receive the meeting details.
