The XDisplayControlPlugin is used to close the socket connection to the X display in the new child VM/image. You may also be missing the OSProcessPlugin. Note, I developed this in Squeak on Linux, so it may be that some work would be needed for Pharo. If you have a Squeak image handy, you might want to look at it there. Dave

by Dimitris Chloupis

I tried to run the parrarelExample method of RemoteTask class which is loadable from CommandShell project and it seems it looks for a plugin that cant find. It gives me a warning forkSqueak requires XDispalyControlPlugin if I proceed I get another warning process accessor module not available if i proceed I get MNU: receiver of "pid" is nil

Thanks for the more detailed description, Sven. Yes, editing strings like this is what I aim at.

Hello, To me your email is completely useless. I have not even the beginning of a clue what you want to say and in which context. We are all busy. This mailing lists get *a lot* of traffic. Could you evaluate in the future if your email contributes something? if not, it might be better to not send it.

Support for UNC filereferences?

by Stephan Eggermont

Perhaps we should add a UNC class? From slack: Ilshad Khabibullin [14:05] Hi there! Are UNC `\\server-name\shared-folder-name` in Windows not supposed to be working with FileReference? Ilshad Khabibullin [14:22] looks like it works in VW, for example. I wonder if we can use `\\WIN-SO4HTUV4HAL\TestShared\newfile.txt' asFileReference ensureCreateFile` but it doesnât work. It creates reference `File @ \WIN-SO4HTUV4HAL\TestShared\newfile.txt` instead of proper one. Have anyone advice how to manage working UNC? Ilshad Khabibullin [14:36] @maxleske: I think it should create FileReference to this shared (via network) folder. Max Leske [14:37] (BTW: UNC is implemented in the FilePlugin of the VM) Ilshad Khabibullin [14:37] but it creates, I think, FileReference to âC:\WINâ¦..` by default, it gets âC:\| Max Leske [14:38] So has the file not been created on the share? Ilshad Khabibullin [14:38] @maxleske: wow thank you! trying.. â[14:38] ah.. itâs already.. Stephan Eggermont [14:38] asFileReference on String might not do the right thing â[14:41] @maxleske: what do you mean by FilePlugin? Does it mean that Windows distribution of Pharo 4 has it? Max Leske [14:43] The virtual machine has it. You shouldnât need to worry about it. UNC is provided transparently by the C implementation. You wonât find any references to UNC in the Smalltalk code Stephan Eggermont [14:43] String asFileReference is ^ FileSystem disk referenceTo: self Ilshad Khabibullin [14:44] so it is supposed to be working anyway Ilshad Khabibullin [15:52] played with ZnUrl and finally managed it: `'file://WIN-SO4HTUV4HAL/c:/TestShared' asUrl asFileReference children.` it works!!
