Using Pharo to Save Human Life

by Alexandre Bergel

Yeah, I have changed the subject for a more accurate one. Onil, you are doing a fantastic work: monitoring flood in Jakarta in real time is impressive. I have enjoyed very much your presentation. Pity the network did not work, but the effect is still very strong. I feel humble and respectful when I see your goal and vision. I am happy that we, as a community, are able to help you. And really, feel free to complain about the system you are using. Just ask for help if you need. Big big clap!!!! I would love to see your presentation at ESUG.

I assume you've studied the original Self Morphic, which seemed very simple and elegant in my brief experiments with it. One of the key principles was uniformity e.g. the World, Hand, etc could all be regular objects, like any other Morph. Our implementation creates special cases which are barriers to understanding and experimentation e.g. it's very difficult to create and customize a World within a Worldâ¦ ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/What-UI-direction-now-or-in-the-near-future-tp4807447… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] Git (gitfiletree) on Pharo vs Windows

by Thierry Goubier

Hi Jan, I pushed a new version (development) of GitFileTree using ProcessWrapper on Windows (version 82 on Smalltalkhub). You need to get ProcessWrapper loaded first, of course, from the Configuration browser in Pharo 3. If you want to try?

Re: [Pharo-users] Git (gitfiletree) on Pharo vs Windows

by Thierry Goubier

Hi Hernan, I've pushed a new development version of GitFileTree using ProcessWrapper on Windows if it is available. Would you care in testing it on Pharo 3 (or Pharo 4)? I'm not sure I did it right; it took me a while to get OSProcess use right, and I'm not sure I can reuse the same patterns with ProcessWrapper, such as the behavior on error.

Re: [Pharo-users] What UI direction now (or in the near future)?

Hello Petr, So far we have Morphic (Athens is the next underlying framework for 2D Drawing). Thanks to Nicolai, Athens is near to be fully integrated. We have Spec for widgets composition. Regarding Bloc: > Sub-questions: > > A) Is Bloc (complete Morphic rewrite, sigh) âone man showâ? What about future, support, long-term issues? Look at Marina CMS framework, even used for Pharo website, but not maintained nowâ¦ Iâve started Bloc with Stephane. So far Iâm the main developper, But, you are perfectly right. No future for Bloc if it stays like that. Weâve stopped adding because now, design decisions are to be made regarding the widgets layer. Currently, we are writing a documentation of the core. The next step is to make it available in the hope we will get feedbacks and also to bootstrap contributions from the community. It will take time. Be sure that I will stop Bloc if we stay only two or if someone else come and propose something better than Bloc. No problem, Iâve fun with Bloc. Spec will stay, so we will also have to build new adapters to be able reuse tools. > > B) Is Bloc prepared with Retina displays in mind (perfect smooth fonts and graphics, scaling, more detailed images for retina etc.)? Bloc bring nothing on that point except that it is is based on Athens > > C) Is current keyboard + UI component focus support perfect or pain inâ¦ I guess yes :) Cheers Alain > > Isnât a âbad timeâ for this decision (Pharo) now? > > Thanks very much for any brief hint, Petr Fischer > > >

Re: [Pharo-users] What UI direction now (or in the near future)?

Hi Petr, what you should do is use Spec for the UI. If you want to write your own list component you can do that in Morphic and integrate it in a Spec UI.

Re: [Pharo-users] Filetree repository from string error

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

Well, it could be that it works, but that is by accident. When using backslashes instead of forward slashes, the path is not parsed correctly. Even FileSystem paths are represented differently (internally of course, when going to the file system, eventually you need backslashes on Windows).
