Any problems known here?

I wonder if anyone has problems running a Pharo on a 64-bit System (Debian) with multiarch. Because strange enough it can suddenly not find vm-display-X11 any more Regards Friedrich -- Q-Software Solutions GmbH; Sitz: Bruchsal; Registergericht: Mannheim Registriernummer: HRB232138; Geschaeftsfuehrer: Friedrich Dominicus

Scaled PNG image

Hello, In Pharo 2.0 (true in 1.4 as well), it looks PNG bitmap are wrongly rotated or scaled when they contain alpha transparency. In the example bellow with the joined bitmap, the alpha gray color are rendered darker when the imagemorph is scaled or rotated. Sqeak does not suffer this problem | dir morph transform form| dir := FileSystem disk workingDirectory parent. morph := (ImageReadWriter formFromFileNamed: (dir / 'bubble.png') fullName) asMorph. transform := TransformationMorph new asFlexOf: morph. transform smoothingOn ; angle: Float pi / 3; scale: 1. transform openInWorld Thanks Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu

[launcher] Re: [Pharo-dev] PharoLauncher

Well spotted. It is explained by PharoLauncher>>setImageRepository: aTemplateRepository templateRepository: anImageRepository also being wrong and reversed. If you might like to contribute to PharoLauncher and want to get into the swing of things, pharo.fogbugz.com has a 'Launcher' project'where you can log Cases to which you can attach mcz files. btw, you might find the various #settingsOn: methods interesting. btw2, for a while I had been collaborating with Damien in private, but we recently decided to move this to [pharo-users] and adding a [launcher] tag. I've cross-posted there. cheers -ben Mark Bestley wrote: > On 21/11/2013 15:00, Sean P.

Re: [Pharo-users] Help with SQLite3 package

Michel, Maybe you should consider using a link instead of a copy of the file. I would also suggest to only add a link within to the sqlite installation directory rather than the pharo directory. Because then pharo will find sqlite3.so as well and you have way fewer dependencies.

Help with SQLite3 package
by Michel Nov. 21, 2013

Nov. 21, 2013

Hi pharoers, I am a newbie with Pharo. I installed the SQLite3 package in the Pharo2 image with the MetacelloConfigurationBrowser and tried a test with this script : db := SQLiteConnection fileNamed: '/home/michel/base_CD/BaseCD.db'. resu := db executeQuery: 'SELECT * FROM T_album'. resu inspect. And I got this error : External module not found. I am on Fedora linux and I think that I should give somewhere (in SQLiteReference class ?) the address of the libsqlite3.so file. Am I right ? Kind Regards, Michel.

Re: [Pharo-users] #subStrings: alternative preserving separators

In VA, tgey just introduced allSubStrings: for this matter, because subStrings was changed to return only non-empty parts... Do you find that in Pharo? Joachim "Esteban A.

optimizing io
by Santiago Bragagnolo Nov. 20, 2013

Nov. 20, 2013

Hi all! Im making some performance enhancement on PhaROS, i realised that one of my common scenarios is having several sockets that should receive exactly the same information, in order to do that, im using n calls to the vm, which does n system-calls. I was wondering if there something done in: - send the same data to all the sockets in just one primitive - send the same data to all the sockets in just one syscall. I checked around in google but i didn't found anything useful, but probably i have no knowledge about the proper words for such search :). Thanks!
