[biosqueak] new web page
by Bruce ONeel 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hi, Proving that I am the worlds worst web page designer there is a new webpage up at http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/beoneel/bioSqueak/ with some links to explore. I would add them to the Swiki but that seems to be a bit unhappy right now. cheers and good evening! bruce

Dear all, I have been trying to find a way to fix the format of a floating point number when putting it on a stream. Something like the old C style %10.3f thingie. I could not find anything like it in Squeak, is there a simple way to do it? Thanx, Heiko

Re: [ENH] Mouse Click Focus Policy option.

Hi Steven, This is a very needed changeset, thank you!!! I tried it in a 3.1a image @ update 4081; however the FillInTheBlankMorph doesn't work anymore :( Cheers, Russell sps2000(a)mail.com wrote: > This change set adds a preference called ""mouseClickFocusPolicy"" in > the morphic tab of the preferences window.

Hi, It also looks like http://bioinformatics.org hosts related projects, this might be more focused than sourceforge. cheers bruce "John Tobler" <squeaker(a)diganet.com> wrote: > I have submitted an application to Sourceforge.net to start a Biosqueak > project there.

RE: Essen ESUG experience report day 2
by Withers, Robert 31 Aug '01

Hi PhiHo, I should have been clearer, this fix was for running ModSqueak on SWT0.6. Your problem looks like the createIfNecessary method on FileSystemRepositoryAccessor is failing. It turns out there is a FileSystemRepositoryAccessorTest but it isn'r fully testing the creation part. I would recommend that you fix the TestCase to fully test this situation. This would help all of us. cheers, Rob > -----Original Message----- > From: PhiHo Hoang [mailto:phiho.hoang@home.com] > Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 2:05 PM > To: squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org > Subject: Re: Essen ESUG experience report day 2 > > > Hi Rob, > > Your fix let me install the Ginsu to SWT0.6 and gave me > 'Module Manager' > and 'Module Browser'. > > If your fix is not intended for SWT0.6, please ignore the > rest (and I am > sorry for wasting the bandwidth :-( > > But when I tried to install 'Repository' with: > > url := (RepositoryUrl fromString: > 'repos://SqueakBase/RepositoryConfig/0.3'). > url resolve build. > > I got 'Error: Fully qualified path expected' walkback. > > Please find attached the log file. > > I was able to install 'Repository' without installing 'Ginsu'. > > Cheers, > > PhiHo. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rob Withers" <rwithers12(a)mediaone.net> > To: "joseph pelrine" <jpelrine(a)balcab.ch>; > <CampSmalltalk(a)mojowire.com>; > <squeak-dev(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org>; "Paul McDonough" > <wnchips(a)yahoo.com> > Cc: <vwnc(a)cs.uiuc.edu> > Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 8:19 AM > Subject: Re: Essen ESUG experience report day 2 > > > > Joseph, one problem was that EventHandler is gone.

Re: [BUG?] Image doesn't ask for initials?

Has anything changed in the flie system code? Henrik, I just tried and it worked for me. One test would be to take an image from which you would expect to see a request for initials and compare (Smalltalk imageName) with the class variable LastImageName in SystemDictionary. The method that should be handling this is SystemDictionary>>openSourceFiles. Cheers, Bob

[BUG] sticky emphasis in text editor
by Doug Way 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Don't forget to include [BUG] in the subject if you're describing how to reproduce a bug. (so it shows up in the bug reports archive) By the way, I notice that this problem only happens if you use the arrow keys (or other keys) to move out of the bold area and start typing in a non-bold area. If you click with the mouse, the problem doesn't happen. (and the reverse also happens) So, for some specific steps to reproduce this: select a method to edit in a browser, mouse-click inside the (bold) selector name, then arrow-key down to the (non-bold) method text and start typing; the newly typed characters will still be in bold. - Doug Way dway(a)riskmetrics.com -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [FIX] Stop text pane from reseting after method accept.

How to reproduce it? Edit an existing method in the browser and change its selector as to write a new method over the old one. The bold style used in the header gets sticked to the cursor. You can unstick it with Alt-0, but it isn't easy get ride of it. /Leandro
