Multi desktops inside Pharo!
by Julien Delplanque Aug. 24, 2015

Aug. 24, 2015

Hi all, I created a small utility that make possible to have multi desktops: https://github.com/juliendelplanque/desktopsmanager. It show/hide windows according to the desktop you're on. I think it can be useful from my small experience, I often feel a lack of space when opening 4-5 windows and also, I like to have my windows full sized... :) What do you think about it? Regards, Julien

Hi all, I have a package for which I need to execute some code after it is loaded in an image. This package have no dependency so I don't know if it is possible to do it without using a baseline but I guess it's not. Thanks, Julien

Where does its parameter "char* fileNameIndex" get its null termination? I can only guess maybe the following definition in primitiveFileDelete.st [2] <var: 'nameIndex' type: 'char *'> automatically appends a null to the Smalltalk string. My understanding is that the Smalltalk string's internal representation is not null terminated. I ask since the sqFileDeleteNameSize()'s comment "convert the file name into a null-terminated C string" indicates the null is added by MultiByteToWideChar(), but [3] indicates that is not true -- that the output of MultiByteToWideChar() is only null terminated if the input is null terminated. Also, anyone know if the concern "BIG WARNING about the return value and the `cbMultiByte` parameter" expressed near the end of [3] is relevant?

issue with large file path on windows
by Nicolai Hess Aug. 24, 2015

Aug. 24, 2015

For those who had problems with pharo on windows and github based repositories, I built a windows vm with support for long paths: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8yEahnuIem2bmxwdzJuUXFxVGM/view?usp=shari… For browsing directories with large paths (FileList or Inspect), you may need one additional change in the image (But I am not really sure about that) : DiskStore>>initialize super initialize. maxFileNameLength := Smalltalk vm maxFilenameLength ifNil: [ 32767 ]. please test and give feedback. This wasn't as easy as I thought, and I had to make some more changes for the file permissions (the stat-functions don't work for files with long paths). Please test other file/folder operations. nicolai

Hello Is there a library like for Pharo to generate DOCX files? Something like this https://docx.codeplex.com/ DocX is a .NET library that allows developers to manipulate Word 2007/2010/2013 files, in an easy and intuitive manor. DocX is fast, lightweight and best of all it does not require Microsoft Word or Office to be installed. Regards Hannes

Hello. Some time ago I announced Tabular <http://ss3.gemtalksystems.com/ss/Tabular.html>, some effort to make a tool for spreadsheets import/export. This is short notice: Vincent Blondeau have added XLSX import functionality! It's also mostly proof-of-concept now, but even at this stage it's quite usable. Thanks, Vincent!

Aug. 20, 2015

At the moment I do startDrag: evt WorldState addDeferredUIMessage: [ self attachAllSubnodes. evt hand grabMorph: self. evt hand addEventListener: self. ]. with handleListenEvent: anEvent anEvent isMouseUp ifTrue: [ self activeHand removeEventListener: self. self detachAllSubnodes ]. anEvent isMouseMove ifTrue: [ self moved: anEvent ] and moved: anEvent self positionMeInParent: anEvent. self updateParentLine. self nodes do: [ :node | node updateParentLine ] to make sure that I can update the parentLine morph when moving this morph. Is there some documentation on how mouseFocus works? Stephan
