I love the Pharo Launcher. But, I find it confusing to have an application called âPharo.appâ. Nothing in that name suggests it is a launcher. It is also very confusing to have an application called âPharo.appâ next to one called âPharo6.1.appâ when they are very different things (at least from a users perspective). Has changing the name of the Pharo Launcher to âPharo Launcherâ ever been considered? Just a thought. Most of all, thanks for the wonderful tool. Glenn

Hi, I agree. I found it confusing on linux to have a "pharo" script to launch the pharo launcher. https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/issues/59 -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr http://www.synectique.eu 2 rue Jacques Prévert 01, 59650 Villeneuve d'ascq France

I agree with you and we should rename it PharoLauncher. Stef On Sun, Dec 17, 2017 at 12:32 AM, Glenn Hoetker <ghoetker@me.com> wrote:

I also find having it called Pharo quite disturbing. PharoLauncher should be much better. Something that also disturbing is to see the same icon as all my pharo images / VMs. It would be much better if aside from having a different name, it could have a different icon.

+1. IIRC the original idea was that the launcher would be *the* way new users would experience Pharo, so it should simply be called "Pharo", but the term already has a meaning to many people, so IMHO it created more confusion than anything. ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
