EXIF / JPEG metadata

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

Hello, I am trying to run TinyBlog and Pharo in a Docker container.Â It run, but it crashes after a while with the following log: pva@dd8:~/docker/PharoTinyBlogDocker$ docker logs --tail 1000 b5172118c19f ZnZincServerAdaptor DeprecationPerformedNotification: Automatic deprecation code rewrite: The method MAContainerComponent>>#isReadonly called from TBSMagritteFormRenderer>>#renderElement: has been deprecated.

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

Mapping global grassroots innovation: a data story powered by Pharo/GT
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas July 12, 2023

July 12, 2023

Hi all, I wold like to share with you my latest data story, powered by Pharo/GT and is related with how to make global grassroots innovation information more available, particularly in places with low/intermittent connectivity. This practical use case of the Pharo ecosystems illustrates the joy of using it in: * Migrations from WordPress to TiddlyWiki. * Data scrapping, manipulation and versioning. * Data storytelling publication and exchanging. * Grassroots innovation to map grassroots innovation (we love meta systems ;-)) Here is the screenshot of the portable wiki: And here is the link to the GIG portable Wiki <https://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/gig/uv/wiki/>, so you can explore/play it by your self. Here is a screenshot of the data story explaining the behind scenes (motivations, future work, code, etc) of such prototype: And here is the link to the GIG portable wiki data story <https://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/gig/doc/trunk/wiki/en/gig-portable-wiki--1…> so you may enjoy the details as much as your nerdy soul needs ;-). Comments and feedback is welcomed here or as the way indicated in the data story. Thanks, as usual, for the technologies and the community behind, that makes such (data) stories possible. Offray
