Well, you need an .image that is then compatible with the condensed .changes file. Therefore, you must save your .image after condensing the .changes.

Smalltalk condenseChanges.
Smalltalk snapshot: true: andQuit: false.

Oh no, something was wrong with this. :( Now I cannot any longer browse many methods (MNUs from MultiByteFileStream), there seems to be some mismatch around #filePositionFromSourcePointer: ...

I will get a new image and hope that the issue does not occur again. :-)

Best,
Christoph

Subject: [squeak-dev] How to clear the changes file?
 
Hi all,

probably a simple FAQ, but I did not find a simple answer to it: What would be the easiest way to clear my changes file? The background is that I have a "fresh trunk image" which I open several times a day to test anything out, make some changes to some classes, or install several Metacello packages but eventually close the image without saving. This bloats my changes file. How can I empty it again and remove all old do-its, prior method versions, and so on? The "remove" items in the change list tool do not seem to have any effect for me.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Christoph
