You're welcome to use the experimental version though (Fuel-MaxLeske.757.mcz in http://www.squeaksource.com/FuelExperiments) but keep in mind that this is a few months behind stable. The other idea however, that Mariano describes in the linked issue, is available but probably not desirable: simply pass a compressing stream to Fuel (see FLGZippedBasicSerializationTest for an example on how to do that). That will compress *all* data, not only strings (which is the idea outlined in the linked issue).

Change the Package-Chooser-Dialog when using "Move to package..."?

Hi, i always find the Package-Chooser-Dialog (See Screenshot) when using "Move to package..." (e.g. from Nautilus) very strange to use. Why not replacing it with "SearchFacade rPackageSearch" (See second Screenshot)? I tried by changing AbstractTool >> moveInNewPackage: from: moveInNewPackage: aCollection | labels reject lines oldIndex newName item aPackage | aCollection ifEmpty: [^ nil ]. aPackage := aCollection first package. labels := self model packages collect: [:each | each name]. lines := {0}. newName := UIManager default chooseOrRequestFrom: labels lines: lines title: ('Change Package (current: ', aPackage name,')'). newName ifNil: [ ^ nil ]. newName := newName asSymbol. item := self browsedEnvironment packageOrganizer packageNamed: newName. aCollection do: [:aClass | aPackage removeClass: aClass. item addClassDefinition: aClass. aClass category: item name ]. ^ item to: moveInNewPackage: aCollection | originalPackage newPackage | aCollection ifEmpty: [^ nil ]. originalPackage := aCollection first package. newPackage := SearchFacade rPackageSearch chooseFromOwner: self window. newPackage ifNil: [ ^ nil ]. aCollection do: [:aClass | originalPackage removeClass: aClass. newPackage addClassDefinition: aClass. aClass category: newPackage name ]. ^ newPackage <http://forum.world.st/file/n4700280/Old_Change_Package_Dialog.png> <http://forum.world.st/file/n4700280/Package_search.png> -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Change-the-Package-Chooser-Dialog-when-using-Move-to-… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
