Minimizing an Application
by horrido Aug. 26, 2017

Aug. 26, 2017

I received this comment on Facebook: Smalltalk is a fantastic language and its development environment can't be beat... But the documentation for the many open source implementations is contradictory or confusing or missing. I can't speak for the commercial versions. Without an experienced mentor it is not possible to create a complex app. And even when you have done so, *I know no way to strip out the unused part of the image as well as the embedded source code*. ----- This issue of stripping out unused code seems to recur a lot. And truth be told, I've never seen a clear explanation of how to do this. Can someone provide clear direction? Is this documented anywhere? I'd like to use the information in future to assuage other people's concerns. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Minimizing-an-Application-tp4963262.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Ann][Pillar] Travis -> Bintray for PDFs
by Stephane Ducasse Aug. 25, 2017

Aug. 25, 2017

Hi with Damien Pollet, we went over all the booklets and some of the Pharo books currently written in Pillar and made sure that each time you commit - a travis job is run - latex is produced as well as pdf - the pdf is stored on bintray - the release versions are stored on the github repo (I should verify) So now you can just do a PR and you get a super nice PDF. Have a look at Glorp or Voyage for example - https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/Booklet-Glorp - https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/Booklet-Voyage You can access the bintray files from the squarebracketassociates lovely binTray account :) https://bintray.com/squarebracketassociates/wip/download_file?file_path=voy… I'm writing a doc of the process so that other people can do it for their private projects.

[DesktopManager][Question] How do I jump to a particular desktop?
by H. Hirzel Aug. 25, 2017

Aug. 25, 2017

Hello I have loaded your DesktopManager package into Pharo 6/6.1. It is useful as always! A remark: If I open a new desktop the desktop is white and not black (New Pharo 'dark' theme). I have to choose the theme manually through the 'Settings' dialog, searching for 'theme' and then reconfirming that I want the 'dark' theme. A question: I Squeak I can jump to a particular 'desktop' (actually 'Project' there ) with some code [1] in a workspace (playground) like (Project named: 'Pillar') enter Is there a similar construction with the DesktopManager? To jump to another desktop with a code snipped is useful as the number of Desktops increases. Currently I have 14 and it may increase up to 50. This also helps to create buttons to jump to a particular desktop. Thank you for the answer in advance Hannes Hirzel [1] http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1013

Loading and saving packages to filetree repos
by Luke Gorrie Aug. 25, 2017

Aug. 25, 2017

Hoi, I want to have a quick "cheat mode" for loading and saving the Smalltalk packages in my project. This is to make life easy for newbies who are not very familiar with Monticello and Metacello. The "cheat" is to assume that there is one filetree:// repository that contains all of the relevant packages, and all we need to do is load or save each of those packages in that repository. I have the loading part working already: repo := MCFileTreeRepository new directory: '/foo/bar/baz' asFileReference. repo allFileNames do: [ :file | (repo versionFromFileNamed: file) load. ]. but now I am wondering how to do the saving part? That is, given a path to a filetree repo like '/foo/bar/baz', how do I save each package in that repo i.e. export the code in the image? Ideally I would like the same operation to skip metadata that is likely to cause conflicts when the code is checked into Git later e.g. package timestamps and versions. Tips would be appreciated :).

Zn classes documentation in Pharo 6? ZnClient and ZnServer tutorials?
by H. Hirzel Aug. 25, 2017

Aug. 25, 2017

Hello Zn classes are included in Pharo 6. I did not find a link to the main documentation in the help system. Is http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/index.html still the main document? The class comment of ZnClient includes an example. I am looking for have some more examples / explanations how to use ZnClient ? Is this the chapter in the EnterprisePharoBook [1] the main documentation? As for the ZnServer, is [2] or [3] more relevant? Summarized: What is the main reference to the documenation of ZnClient and ZnServer? Thank you in advance Hannes [1] https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessf… [2] http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/build-and-deploy-1st-webapp/ [3] https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/EnterprisePharoBook/lastSuccessf…
