eToys translation for many languages?
by Yoshiki Ohshima 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

Hello, We are working on new Squeakland version of image and now in the process of packaging and adding the natural language translation of the eToys UI. We would like to include as many as possible! If you have a fairly complete .translation file for your (or any) language, please test it against our working version of image. The image is available at: http://www.impara.de/~andreas/sqLand05/sqLand05-05.zip [Europe] http://squeak.hpl.hp.com/~andreas/sqLand05-05.zip [US] and let us know how it works. (Don't forget to update the image first!) The image is configured to be an eToys friendly preferences, but you should be able to load the translation via FileList. Easiest way would be just copy the .translation file to your "trusted" directory. The LanguageEditor comes with the image, so you can add new phrases there. I know that there are Czech guys working on their language. We should be able to make that version, perhaps as a loadable package, available from Squeakland website. Let us know if it is feasible thing. Thank you! -- Yoshiki

A simple question: How to copy the instance variables of an object to another - already existing - object
by Rudi Bichler 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Hi, I need some kind of copyTo: functionality, which copies a complete object (i.e. all instance variables) to another object. I need this to "convert" an object of class A into an object of a subclass of A. Something like: Object subclass: #MyClass instanceVariableNames: 'var1 var2' ... MyClass subclass: #MySubcl instanceVariableNames: 'var3' ... MySubcl class >> newCopyFrom: original "create an object of class MySubcl with is - as MyClass - identical to original" An example of such a functionality is FormCanvas asBalloonCanvas. This method is implemented by creating a BalloonCanvas and initializing it "by hand". I am looking for a generic way - something like copy in Object. Any idea? Thanks a lot Rudi --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page

Squeak map servers down
by Iede Snoek 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Hi all, Could it be that that the squeakmap servers are down, or is my internet connection doing strange things? I have loaded the latest 3.8 image and I can't get updates, nor install anything from squeakmap. Thx in advance for your replies. Grtz, Iede Snoek

by Matej Kosik 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Hello, Is any of you able to download the OOPSLA video from: http://www.esug.org/onlinesmalltalkvideos/ ? I have tried it now and it does not work for me. Program `btdownloadgui' (on Debian GNU/Linux) claims that: Problem connecting to tracker - <urlopen error (111, 'Connection refused')> (A friend of mine wanted to view it and I thought that I will download it for him). -- mk

Re: First attempt at SVG for squeak
by José L. Redrejo Rodríguez 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

These are great news. I am currently working in a Squeak project that uses a bunch of graphics we have made with Inkscape. I had to convert them to png to be able to use them with Squeak. I have tested my svg and some of them have errors when loaded. If you want, I can send them to you for testing. Also, if you need some help or some kind of testing, I will be glad to lend you a hand. Finally some questions/errors. - SVGMorphs are always inside the sheet where they were drawn. If they could be managed out of the sheet, as sketchmorphs would be much more useful. - The drawing is not redrawn often after opening a window or menu over the svgmorph. When the menu is closed, the space that it filled in the svg is just a white box. - Gradients use to cause "key not found" errors. SVGMorph >>GetFills: fails often with inkscape svg, it doesn't find gradients like 'linearGradient1717' - "A primitive has failed" errors also are often raised when loading some complex drawings. (guard02.svg) - Some drawings are never loaded (feet01.svg) I am really looking forward for your future releases. I know it is a really hard work because I spent some days studying the possibility or making a SVG importer and gave up because its difficulty was enormous for my smalltalk skill. Best regards.

HTTP download progress bar...HOWTO?
by David Shaffer 31 Jul '05

31 Jul '05

Is there a way to hook a progress bar to an HTTP download? I'm trying to make an installer for Squellenium and when it downloads the zip the long pause is disconcerting. Here's how I'm downloading: downloadSelenium ^ ZipArchive new readFrom: (self seleniumZipURI retrieveContents contentStream binary; yourself) So I send retrieveContents to a HttpURL. I did a cursory hunt through the image but couldn't turn up anything (I did find lots of progress bar examples but nothing connected with HTTP). David

First attempt at SVG for squeak
by Gary Chambers 30 Jul '05

30 Jul '05

Hello all, just having a stab at getting some SVG capabilities into squeak. I have uploaded a package to SqueakMap (SVGMorph) that is a first attempt. Not very clean or comprehensive but deals with simple stuff. Inspired by developing for configurations with dodgy display sizes. It seemed best to go with scalable graphics! Any comments welcome. Gary Chambers.
