Re: [Pharo-users] Copy/past doesn't work sometimes in Chrome semifixed
by Peter UhnÃ¡k Oct. 14, 2014

Oct. 14, 2014

I think I found a solution. But first the problem, which preferably would be fixed in the Pharo VM but I have no idea how to contribute there or if this is actually correct/wrong: After a lot of debugging and trying to figure out why paste from Google Chrome(ium) isn't working in Linux I found out that the default encoding isn't unicode. According to this the default should be UTF-8 platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixMain.c:1493 printf(" --textenc <enc> set encoding for external text (default: UTF-8)\n"); however by default it is set to 0 platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixMain.c:127 int textEncodingUTF8= 0; /* 1 if copy from external selection uses UTF8 */ and only set to 1 if it is explicitly provided (--textenc UTF-8) platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixMain.c:1452 else if (!strcmp(argv[0], "--textenc")) { char *buf= (char *)malloc(strlen(argv[1]) + 1); int len, i; strcpy(buf, argv[1]); len= strlen(buf); for (i= 0; i < len; ++i) buf[i]= toupper(buf[i]); if ((!strcmp(buf, "UTF8")) || (!strcmp(buf, "UTF-8"))) textEncodingUTF8= 1; else setEncoding(&uxTextEncoding, buf); free(buf); return 2; } -- So the (temporary) fix is quite simple: specify the --textenc encoding when launching Pharo. :) Peter On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 12:38 PM, Julien Delplanque <julien(a)tamere.eu> wrote: > Ok, so I'll have to get used to it or switch to another web browser > while using pharo. > > Thanks for your answers. > > On 31/07/14 10:44, Peter UhnÃ¡k wrote: > > It seems that the Chromium issue is most likely a result of them > switching > > from GTK to Aura, since it broke in version 35 (when Aura was > introduced). > > So unless someone wants to dive into Pharo VM or Chromium then there is > > really no simple solution. > > > > > > On Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 9:10 PM, Peter UhnÃ¡k <i.uhnak(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > >> Today I found out that if I have running xclipboard in the background > >> pasting works properly even from Chromium.

ZipFileMember>>contentStream has leading characters
by DiegoSanchez Oct. 14, 2014

Oct. 14, 2014

Hi everybody! This is my first post and I'm posting this question after going around this forum without finding answer for my question. I couldn't wrap my mind around it. Here is the issue (in fact it is not a issue, classes work fine). I want to uncompress a zip file and file in the content of one of the file included in zip file. For instance: The file 'tp1.zip' contains just one file inside it: 'test.st'. Once I uncompressed it, using code bellow: I found that file stream has a set of leading characters which cannot be interpreted by *CodeInterpreter*. Here you will fine these leading characters: /Hexa characters/ *ef bb bf * /Ascii characters/ *ef bb bf * Indeed, this leading characters are written by the fileOut process and it's ok (those are magic number which depend on the SO) but I don't know how to skip it for CodeInterpreter to be able fileIn this file. My first solution was skipping this characters through the use of /Stream>>next: 4/. But I'm looking for a much portable solution. Somebody went through this problem? Thanks for help in advance.

"Tabular" announcement: support of Excel/Calc spreadsheets formats
by Ð®ÑÐ¸Ð¹ ÐÐ¸ÑÐ¾Ð½ÐµÐ½ÐºÐ¾ Oct. 14, 2014

Oct. 14, 2014

Couple years after failing of the last, GSoC-powered effort to implement Excel/Calc support, I come to the point when I need it desperately. Therefore I started Tabular (ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Tabular.html) package. It's now very early stages, and exporting code is quite dirty - but it works as proof-of-concept, generating XLSX files with cells meging support - which is, anyway, more than we have in SCV. It was already used in production code, and already generating tax reports or something like this. Some of other members of RSUG looks interested in participating in this development, so we may expect significiant progress in nearest future.

source code

Hello, being new to Smalltalk I wonder how I exchange source code both with collaborators and with my papers. Is there any view on the code basis where I see the complete class I wrote in order to use the source code in my papers without the need to collect pieces from the individual methods? best regards Erik

Reloading a shared c library after been modified?
by Bernardo Ezequiel Contreras Oct. 13, 2014

Oct. 13, 2014

hi all, i've made a simple shared c library for learning purposes that i call using nativeboost. Now the problem i'm facing it's that after i changed the library i have to close and open the image to get those changes, so the question is there a way to update the library loaded in the image without closing and opening the image? thanks. -- Bernardo E.C.

Scratch in Flash or Phratch?
by Alain Busser Oct. 12, 2014

Oct. 12, 2014

Hello, I must present Scratch to my pupils on Tuesday, and I want to show to them the French and Creole versions. But Scratch is not programmed in Squeak anymore. Rather, it is in Flash. Hence my question: Is there a French version of Phratch? And will there be a creole version before tuesday? The advantage of Pharo is that it doesn't need an installation and I can share it easily with the pupils. Alain

About Zinc http components
by Alain Rastoul Oct. 12, 2014

Oct. 12, 2014

Hi, I played a bit with ZnServer and other zinc components and have a question I can't answer myself (googling a bit didn't help neither), and I'm seeking for advice: does it makes sense to use a ZnServer/ZnWebSocket as a mechanism to transfer data between two pharo processes - in my case 8k ByteArray blocks ? Or is it a total non sense ? is it reliable ? First tests looks good : 18k blocks / second (145 Mb/s) on a laptop core i5 2.6Ghz. All comments and suggestions welcome Thanks in advance, Alain
