I had experienced the same thing. It was a bug that Nicolai fixed. On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 4:53 AM, stepharo <stepharo@free.fr> wrote:

is this a good place to bug you with feature requests? i'd like to see a cache of the downloaded images so that i can create multiple copies of an image without redownloading. i suppose i can do it manually by never opening the first copy, but i think it might be helpful to have a way to make sure that an image is untouched. i'd like to have a way to load some default configs or packages. for example i'll always need the gitfiletree package, and i want to set the fonts to 'large' it would be nice to be able to specify some scripts that are run every time a new image is loaded so i don't have to do it manually after opening the image. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/

On the right tree (Templates) is a node "Local" this includes all downloaded images.

i thought that would be a good place to put them, but for me there is nothing. i already downloaded 3 images. do i have to disable "Templates cleared at startup" in the config? greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/

I confirm that "Local" should contain the templates you download. You probably found a bug but I can't reproduce. The "Templates cleared at startup" is something different. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill
Damien even with the latest version of Launcher I have startup error. I can show you :) Stef

No, I have that setting enabled. However it currently does not self-update when you download an image**. Click on the template <Refresh> icon in the top right. Maybe you need to have "Local" selected when you do this. **This is a bug. Its funny when you get so used to workarounds that you don't notice them anymore. Actually, rather than a separate template folder I'd like to see an icon appear that indicates its got a local cached copy, plus a menu option to "Create image from local". I often accidentally click the remote repository when I know I've got a cached copy - but then its too late since the cache copy is deleted to make way for the download and I have to wait for the download to complete. cheers -ben

you have to use the startup script mechanism for that (this is standard mechanism totally unrelated to the launcher): https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Books/job/PharoHiddenTreasures/l.... Please ask the mailing list about this particular mechanism if you have any question. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill

oh wow, yes, i was going to ask about what everyone else is doing to solve this problem. there is a lot in that page. i am going to have to spend some quality time with this to figure out how to best use it... thanks! greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org secretary beijinglug.org mentor fossasia.org foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com unix sysadmin Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/
