identifying zip and comparing to current local Pharo install
by Robert Shiplett June 13, 2012

June 13, 2012

Hi Would it be a nuisance for a file such as Pharo-1.4-14438-OneClick.zip to include an empty text file named 14438 or to add that id to the readme along with date (preferably the former - but since the date is being written there anyway ... ) I no longer have the DASD on this laptop to keep all of these zip's, but at the same time like our clean install using just 'Pharo-1.4' directory naming. Comparing the dates in README.txt seems silly when the zip already carries an id. Just one of those little things that makes morning coffee more enjoyable ... (one less needless vexation) Cheers/ciao Robert

New journal paper about Fuel serializer
by Mariano Martinez Peck June 13, 2012

June 13, 2012

Hi guys. If you are interested in learning about Fuel's internals, its differences with other serializers, etc, I invite you to read our journal paper that has just been accepted. This paper is *much* better than the version of the ESUG workshop (in case you have read that one). You can find the pdf here: http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/archives/papers/Dias12a-SPE-Fuel.pdf Fuel website: http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/web/pier/software/Fuel Cheers, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

value - a trap for young players
by Jeff Gray June 12, 2012

June 12, 2012

So, for fun I wrote a PlayingCard class with two instance variables, suit and value. calling collect: [:eachCard | eachCard value] on a collection of cards didn't work as I'd expected, but of course 'value' is the method on Object that returns self. Easily fixed by renaming the 'value' variable to faceValue (and associated accessors), but made me laugh... -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/value-a-trap-for-young-players-tp4634470.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

working with athens balloon
by Tudor Girba June 12, 2012

June 12, 2012

Hi, I would like to get Athens for Balloon loaded by default in a Moose image. The idea would be to make it easy for people to migrate to this interface, to make the code ready for Cairo. In the process of testing it, I noticed that the text examples do not work with StrikeFont. Please note that we are using Pharo 1.4. I tried it by doing the followings: Gofer new squeaksource: 'Athens'; package: 'ConfigurationOfAthens'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfAthens) project version: #development) load: 'Athens-Morphic'. And then: AthensTextRenderTest test1. The problem seems to be caused by a missing method: StrikeFont>>getPreciseAscent @Igor: Is this a missing method, or is it something else? Would it be difficult to fix this?

setting fonts programatically
by Tudor Girba June 12, 2012

June 12, 2012

Hi, I am trying to set the fonts for settings using TrueType fonts programatically. An example script is: StandardFonts setDefaultFonts: #( (balloonFont: 'Helvetica' 10) (buttonFont: 'Helvetica' 12) (codeFont: 'Helvetica' 12) (haloFont: 'Helvetica' 10) (listFont: 'Helvetica' 12) (menuFont: 'Helvetica' 12) (defaultFont: 'Helvetica' 12) (windowTitleFont: 'Helvetica' 16)) But, when I look in the Appearance system setting, I only see the DejaVu fonts. Also, when opening the font dialog, I can only select the DejaVu fonts. What am I doing wrong? (I am on Mac using the CogVM from 15 April 2012) Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Obvious things are difficult to teach."

Adding to rb-spelling.dat?
by Stuart Herring June 12, 2012

June 12, 2012

Hi All, Is there any way to add words to rb-spelling.dat, or otherwise have the spelling Code Critics rules ignore certain words? I'm getting a large number of false positives when I run the Code Critics, due mainly to the Category spelling rule - it flags as an error every single method in classes belonging to a category it believes to be misspelt, and it's making it hard to see the real issues when looking at the build results in my CI server. I don't really want to have to completely remove the spelling rules from my image though... Regards, Stuart
