MOOC for English learners
by Gour Aug. 17, 2016

Aug. 17, 2016

Hello, after being interested in Pharo some months ago, in the meantime I was exploring some alternatives like Racket and Red (open-sources successor of Rebol) both of which can be suitable for writing multi-platform desktop GUI apps...but now want to spend some more time exploring Pharo and I'm glad to see existance of MOOC course, but wonder if all the videos are planned to be annotated with English subtitles making the whole course suitable for non-French self-learners? Sincerely, Gour -- Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.

ProcessAlreadyTerminating on image startup
by Esteban A. Maringolo Aug. 17, 2016

Aug. 17, 2016

For some reason I can't understand, I fell again into one of those infinite loops of MessageNotUnderstood exceptions that usually take the system down. But this time I was able to interrupt it by pressing Alt+., and then I closed all the debuggers and opened windows. Trustworthy (aka stupid) as I can be, I saved the image, but then every time I tried to debug some test case, only one frame on the debugger was visible, and any attempt to evaluate something within it lead me to another infinite MNU wormhole. Now when I start the image I get a ProcessAlreadyTerminating walkback, without much to do (see http://i.imgur.com/fxo17pN.png) But I'm still unable to debug any method using the Glamourous Debugger. I can if I disable it. I don't know whether the Glamourous debugger and the process thing are related, but I'm sharing this just in case somebody has an idea on how to fix the walkback and the GTD. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo

64bit support
by Gour Aug. 16, 2016

Aug. 16, 2016

Hello, I'm still waiting for my Slack account to become re-created, so asking here...how far is 64bit version of Pharo? Sincerely, Gour -- A person is considered still further advanced when he regards honest well-wishers, affectionate benefactors, the neutral, mediators, the envious, friends and enemies, the pious and the sinners all with an equal mind.

Pharo on a Mac
by Bart Venckeleer Aug. 15, 2016

Aug. 15, 2016

Hi all, 20 years ago I wrote an application in SmallTalk-V that I'm porting now to Pharo since Smalltalk-V doesn't run 64-bit systems. I run Pharo on a Mac and what I experience is a bit annoying and I hope one of you already solved the issues. In fact there are two things that bother me: 1. The typical cursor navigation doesn't work. Normally on a Mac: cmd <left arrow> moves the cursor to the beginning of a line, cmd <right arrow> moves the cursor to the end of the line, option <left arrow> moves the cursor one word to the left, option <right arrow> moves the cursor one word to the right, ... and of course it can be combined with shift to make selections. In Pharo I can't do that and it slows down coding. 2. There are problems with the Magic Mouse and it is very annoying when browsing code. Whenever you touch the mouse surface to scroll horizontally it generates shift <left arrow> or shift <right arrow> events which causes text to be selected without it being the intension. Is there a solution for this? Thanks for helping me :-) Cheers, Bart -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-on-a-Mac-tp4910484.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
