[Squeakland] Help recovering continued

[Bob Irving]

Thanks for the note, Kim.  When I say it "got gridded" (sorry for the
non-technical language), I mean that it instantly hung: the grid
appeared, the progress bar never showed up, and I lost control of the
window by any means other than hitting ESC.  I couldn't click on
anything at that point, or any point thereafter.  

I have discovered that (usually) if I choose "Publish As", all will
work as you describe, except for the incident today.

It may be that I am a relative newbie to Squeak, but I think it's got
so much potential that I really want to make it work.  I'm using it in
my grade 6 computers class, and in my grade 7 programming class with
slightly different emphases.  I love the concrete nature of it for
teaching programming.

Is the debug file a separate file?  Is that saved in the same folder as
the .pr file?  I know that I can get info when I try to debug using the
ESC button, but that has several different views and doesn't seem to be
an actual file I can send.

Thanks,
Bob Irving

Hi, Bob -
When you say "it got gridded" do you mean did it totally hang up? 
You are probably aware, but every project when 'publishing" will show 
the "grid overlay" at first.  This then prompts a progress bar that 
changes color as the individual objects are saved.  When the cycle 
has successfully completed, the progress bar and grid disappear 
leaving the (now published) project on your screen and the .pr file 
in your desired folder.
I am guessing you mean the project froze or hung in the process while 
watching the progress bar...???
Please do send your debug file to Mike Rueger -- address above and 
copied of this mail.  THanks!
You might also want to send him the project you are having trouble 
publishing, too.
sorry for these hassles!
Kim
