Oh yes thx Nicolai, I did not look in the #doesNotUnderstand method. What is the main purpose of doing this instead of actually implementing a method ? 2015-05-25 19:20 GMT+02:00 Nicolai Hess <nicolaihess(a)web.de>: > > > 2015-05-25 18:27 GMT+02:00 Matthieu Lacaton <matthieu.lacaton(a)gmail.com>: > >> Hello everyone, >> >> It's probably a silly question but there is something I don't understand >> in the PharoCommonTools class.

This is a fundamental concept behind the implementation of Pharo (inheritance, method lookup). > Thanks, > > Matthieu

We should at least change the Nautilus title bar to "Nautilus System Browser" (or just "System Browser" ?) This would be a simple one for anyone wanting to dip their toe into the Pharo development workflow for the first time. Just log into Fogbugz and assign the issue to yourself. https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?15608 http://pharo.org/contribute-propose-fix cheers -ben

PharoCommonTools methods

by Matthieu Lacaton

Hello everyone, It's probably a silly question but there is something I don't understand in the PharoCommonTools class. There are many methods in this class that i can't find in the image. For example, *PharoCommonTools >> workspaceTool* refers to "*self workspace*" but I can't find any method named workspace in this class or its super classes. And it is the same for all the other tools. What am I missing ? :s Thanks, Matthieu

Yes, itâs great to have an outside view of these things and have a well-written article with these tips.

Re: [Pharo-users] Not Pharo related - how does one respond to a message

When I see a message that I want to respond to how do I do that? I've been going to my email program - hotmail - and pasting in the subject line - copying and pasting any text that I want to include in my reply - writing a reply and then sending it. I can't believe that there's now a much more efficient way to do this. > > Enlighten me, please. > > Dan > > > Hi Dan, This is a mailing list, you can use your email client (web or not) to respond, but there are also some mailing list to newsgroup gateways, like gmane -that I use-, who allows you to simply subscribe to this "newsgroup" with your favorite email client (outlook, thunderbird or other) and get a newsgroup threaded interface. Registering the newsgroup server in your email client depends of your client. You should probably find it under add account menu of your email client, select newsgroup, fill the newsgroup server address (example new.gsmane.org, port 119) and select the groups you want to subscribe to (gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.pharo.user here). Using your email client, you will find the process much more easy and user friendly, you can select lines you want to include in your response for example. Note: there is a little delay with the gateway (few minutes) and the first time you will have to confirm your post to the server (only the first time). HTH, -- Regards, Alain
