Hi renaud thanks for the feedback. Settings is way to describe settings. Now once you have a settings and save it you can take the setting code and wrap it into a startUpLoader actions. So there are really complementary. Ok I did not know that we change the class name. I will check because my preferences seems to work in pharo 70. Can you do pull requests for your suggestions so that the chapter gets improved. On Wed, Nov 1, 2017 at 6:34 PM, Renaud de Villemeur <renaud.devillemeur@free.fr> wrote:
Hi Stephane
Your booklet is very usefull, and show stuff that can only be done by code.
However, in your example, you show how to change syntax style, or enable freetype, which can also be done using the setting framework, so I was wondering, how would you position Startup Loader with the settings framework ?
Next, you always use StartupLoader. In my recent Pharo 6.1 image, this seems to be replaced by class StartupPreferencesLoader. Not a big deal, I was able to find the correct class through the message, but quite confusing if you only read the booklet.
I tend to use raw image, and load everything from scratch, instead of keeping multiple image around. So I try to clean things, or put things automatically at startup
How to remove automatically at startup the welcome windows (probably specific to Pharo 6) World submorphs select: [ :sm | sm isSystemWindow and: [ sm label = ((Character value: 0) asString, 'Welcome')]] thenDo: [ :window | window delete ]. ]
