Re: 3.7 Full: Developers or Media users?
by Dean_Swan＠Mitel.COM 26 May '04

26 May '04

Just to add an opinion, my benchmark for what should be in a "Full" image would be either Squeak3.2-4956, or Squeak3.4-5170. Basically, I expect a "Full" image to have at least everything that was in the 3.2-4956 image. I don't necessarily mean every class and every method, but at least all the major functionality. I know that occasionally methods are depracated for good reason, and that's fine. Now, neither of those releases included things like the RB, Monticello, etc, so while they're nice to have, I wouldn't necessarily expect it in a future "Full" image. I would condsider things like that as developer "goodies" that could be omitted, but I would still expect the system browser, compiler, VM construction, PlayWithMe/Worlds of Squeak, EToys type stuff. -Dean

And I think things like this are fine. I also don't mind if there is more than the minimum. I only posted this comment because the current "3.7 Full Assembler" on SM seems to change the default project, removing things like the readme and welcome windows and the Worlds of Squeak project. -Dean

[ENH] reposted: new String modifier: String>>asPlural ( Sunit test added )
by denker＠iam.unibe.ch 25 May '04

25 May '04

from preamble: "Change Set: PluralStrings-ccn Date: 19 January 2000 Author: Chris Norton md: just made a real SUnit test from the examples given. OK. You could say that this is a silly crusade, but I like my Squeak messages to be in proper English (at least when the language you're using is English). I was messing around with the HangMan file-in and I got a walkback that had the following title: 'Error: HangManPhrases classs are not indexable'. I just couldn't stand the extra 's' on 'class', so I created a nifty new String method called asPlural and I modified the sender of the odd string to use the new String modifier. Take it or leave it, but I think this makes auto-generated text just a little easier to read."!

[BUG]Flaps disappearing when creating MVC project
by goran.krampe＠bluefish.se 25 May '04

25 May '04

When I create an MVC project the shared flaps disappear. But I can show them again. Not sure why they disappear. Tracked it down to Project>>flapsSuppressed: being called from #initializeProjectPreferences. I can't say that I follow the logic. First of all, why does it change the Preference? Shouldn't it only touch the project preference? And secondly, why does it remove/add the flaps to the screen if the Project is NOT the current project? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Confused. regards, Göran PS. Stumbled upon this since creating a Morphic project in latest beta (5923) somehow messes up the flaps. Funny enough just switching the flaps from "text" to "graphical" and back to "text" fixes the nil value inside the NewParagraph instance, beats me.
