My version of this would be (no button yet, but a one-liner)
(InfoStringMorph on:[| logString | logString _ ((SourceFiles at: 2) readOnlyCopy position: Smalltalk lastQuitLogPosition) next:2; upTo: Character cr. logString copyFrom: (logString indexOf: $( )+ 1 to: (logString indexOf:$) )- 1.]) stepTime:2; color: Color blue; openInWorld

I'm always tweaking my environment, tailoring it to my work style and habits. I find that I frequently save my image, but sometimes I'm not sure whether I've saved it recently enough already, so I save it again. Because of the way I organize my desktop, my Transcript is frequently covered by another window, so switching to the Transcript adds too many mouose clicks to a task I perform frequently.
So here's the question: is there a way to retrieve the last save or snapshot date and time of the current image? If I could do that, i would probably show that date/time in a an area of my desktop usually left uncovered, and put a button next to it so that I can save the image if it looks like it has been awhile.
Not a question with significant impact on the future of squeak, but hey, it's Sunday morning when I write this. :)
You can get the current image name and get its statistics as a file.
Maybe something like:
TimeStamp fromSeconds: ((FileDirectory default directoryEntryFor: Smalltalk imageName) modificationTime)
You might also look at ChangeList class>>getRecentLocatorWithPrompt: aPrompt which parses the changes file.
