getting the edit Workspace from UIManager
by Lauren P 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Hey List, I'm using UIManager>>edit:label:accept: to open a Text for editing and I'd like to close the Workspace when the user accepts the text. Is there a way to pass the Workspace to the block closure? I tried | ed | ed := UIManager default edit: o label: l accept: [ :new | . . . ed delete] but ed got unbound by the time the block was called. I was kinda expecting Smalltalk to have lexical extent for block closures, not dynamic extent.¹ I know I can use a Y-combinator to add it to a block variable², but I was wondering if there's something way more Smalltalk and less I-Learned-To-Program-With-Assembler. I'm sure it's something obvious, but there's just so much to Morphic. It's nice to know I can, but it seems like a bug that I would have to. Thanks, Lauren 1. I was studying Context to see how it worked and saw the temp stack gets dropped on return, but had a hard time studying its behavior with block closures and multithreading. 2. While I was examining the workings of the call stack I figured out how to bind block-local variables from outside their lexical scope. Mostly to get a better understanding of how it worked.

Marcel Taeumel uploaded a new version of Morphic to project The Trunk: http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Morphic-mt.2057.mcz ==================== Summary ==================== Name: Morphic-mt.2057 Author: mt Time: 9 January 2023, 11:00:54.890325 am UUID: f093a34d-1306-2f44-89ca-f90c796f94c4 Ancestors: Morphic-ct.2056 Fixes two issues with Trascript: 1. "World Menu > Open... > transcript" should always count open transcripts 2. Menu item "Tools > Transcript" must not bind Transcript global but use Smalltalk>>#at: lookup. The second bug occurred the moment we executed initialization code for new morphic projects to immediately render a preview thumbnail. Note that I am still not in favor of executing code of a new project in the scope of the current project due to process management, globals, and other stuff. Let's keep an eye on this.

Monticello Cherry-pick
by Eliot Miranda 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Hi All, Hi Vanessa, does Monticello support the equivalent of git cherry-pick, specifically to merge a set of commits from one branch of a package into another? If not, how would I implement it? Tom Braun and I are working on two different branches of VMMaker, his adding incremental old space garage collection and compaction, mine regular trunk maintennance. I want to integrate two recent commits of mine fixing a become bug into Tom's branch. Or course I could just file out the changes, but in bringing them in there would be no common-ancestor check to show me conflicts. I'm happy to use a script-based approach, and would happily pair with someone to attempt to implement a UI, perhaps based on a repository inspector or history view there-from. _,,,^..^,,,_ best, Eliot
