Hope this helps a little bit
    

Yeah, thanks for your effort. I saw what you were mentioning but I needed confirmation that I didn�t miss the most important feature :)

Ok, so it is just not a tool for me. I have a project folders containing not only smalltalk stuff but also documentation and other files. The project folders are grouped by companies I work for. So central storage of images is a no-go. I do it the other way round. I have one directory where I symlink all current projects folders into. And this directory I put in the MacOS bar to have quick access.

Then I open an image once and save a new version regularly using �save as�. This is a must for me because I experience a lot of image instability and the changes is broken so too easy to loose code. And it wouldn�t work the way you told me because I save images often so copying _before_ opening an image is not an option.

My workflow just needs manual setup of the projects folder which I would like to be solved somewhat more clever. But as I can see it now I need to stick to my stuff. Sad. I think PharoLauncher is nice.

Sounds like you need PharoLauncher to have features like:
* open the newest image in a project folder and maybe also clean out the project folder by moving older images into an archive folder.
* tree structured Images pane, with roots each having a different directory
* tracking branches in the sequence of image saves. Do you backtrack much to a previous image?�

Another feature that I contemplate is synchronizing between PharoLauncher on different machines. For example, for when you want to push a new release to your client.� You would right-click on an image, choose 'Send to client' which would upload to some web location (perhaps just dropbox).� PharoLauncher at the client would set up to refresh/poll that location, and automate download and launching the image.� This might also work in reverse...� if a problem occurs in the application, they might SaveAs the image including the error and use PharoLauncher to upload the image to somewhere you poll then download it.��

btw, How often to you create new company folders and project folders?�
