(I have use the settings to change the directory for me.) I changed the default directories on all systems: - mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Pharo/images - win: %APPDATA%\Pharo\images - unix: ~/.local/share/Pharo/images And everyone can change these values to what they want like a dropbox folder (just go to the launcher settings, change the path, and save). > 2) Dealing with saved images.

I think I will try another solution iii) when launching an image, if multiple ones are present, let the user select with a drop-down. These ways, the concept of a "launcher's image" can still be seen as a project whereas the .image files can be seen as versions of this project. > Point ii) leads onto making the save of an image save to an OSX bundle (i.e. > a directory containing several files that OSX can see as one unit) I don't understand that > 3) The icons need to have more responsive pop-overs to explain what they > do.(I almost wrote any pop-over but after a minute I can get them 30% of the > time) I don't understand that as well > 4) For first time users I think the right pane needs a look at - users will > not know which is the correct template to use.

PharoLauncher as the default Pharo download on pharo.org?
by Damien Cassou Jan. 27, 2014

Hi guys, what do you think about setting the PharoLauncher as the default download for mac os x users? If you never tried the launcher, please try it now: Mac OS X: https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoLauncher-Mac-Package/lastSu… Ubuntu : https://launchpad.net/~pharo/+archive/stable Others: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/PharoLauncher -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."

PharoLauncher as the default Pharo download
by Andy Burnett Jan. 27, 2014

Jan. 27, 2014

á§ That is a good question. I have to admit that I do use iTunes, and I have often been annoyed by not being able to - easily - find the files. I can certainly see the value of presenting end users with simple interfaces, but I am with Johan, I would like to be able to put my images somewhere more obvious - to a developer - particularly because this would make Dropbox/google drive synching easier. Obviously, we can do all of this, but it has never been quite as obvious as I would like it to be.

ConfigurationOfNacl
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand Jan. 24, 2014

Jan. 24, 2014

I have added ConfigurationOfNacl to Pharo 3 repository. You can load it using the Configuration Browser. Nacl is a cryptolibrary based in libsodium. The binding for Pharo/Squeak ( http://www.eighty-twenty.org/index.cgi/tech/smalltalk/nacl-for-squeak-and-p…) was written by Tony-Garnock Jones. The Configuration automatically download and uncompress the compiled library file. I have tested under Windows and Linux, all tests passes. But I do not own a Mac (I'm really open to donations :) so if anyone may test the configuration under Mac it would be nice. Cheers, HernÃ¡n

Filing in code by script
by Esteban A. Maringolo Jan. 22, 2014

Jan. 22, 2014

Sometimes I need to patch a simple method and I don't want to upload a whole new image to the server (unless until I have CI). How can I file in some code in the startup script? Today I start my server with: $ nohup pharo server.image startup.st What should I add to startup to file in a few chunks of code from a patches.st file? Is CodeImporter evaluateFileNamed: 'patches.st' the right way to do it? Should I use absolute file paths? Should I consider something else? Regards. Esteban A. Maringolo
