How do I embed GIFs in a change-set?

You can take the bits and convert them to a compact string, then expand that string when you need it to create a new file. The compact string can be placed in a method and saved as part of a change set. Got it. I had been looking for a BLOB encoding. Thanks a bunch. -KenD "================Encode=================" aFileStream _ (FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: 'GIF-deck/11c.gif') binary. aMimeStream _ Base64MimeConverter mimeEncode: aFileStream. aString _ (Clipboard clipboardText: (aMimeStream contents)) clipboardText.

How do I embed GIFs in a change-set?
by Ken Dickey 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Greetings, I have updates a morphic based FreeCell card game I did a few years ago to 3.8. I would like to put in into SqueakMap (or wherever) but the changeset file-in requires a directory of GIFs (the card images) to be in the working directory for import into the image. What is the best way to do this? Thanks much, -KenD PS: please CC replies to ken.dickey(a)whidbey.com as I am not subscribed to this list.

Re: [Newbies] Strange behavior on Linux ...

FWIW, it didn't behave strangely for me in SUSE 10.1 ----- Original Message ---- From: Dave Raymer <dave.raymer(a)gmail.com> To: A friendly place to get answers to even the most basic questions about Squeak. <beginners(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org> Sent: Tuesday, October 3, 2006 6:40:29 PM Subject: [Newbies] Strange behavior on Linux ... Folks, I'm trying to get Squeak up and running on my gentoo linux box -- and I think I am at my last hurdle. For some reason SqueakMap is having problems ... it seems to be looking for a squeak.krampe.se server for updating to SM 2.2. A search of the net notes that this should not be case, and that this information is coming from an external source, not a configurable on my local box. Given the recent issuess with a few of the community servers, I thought that I would try it on my Windows box, and I do not have the same behavior there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Dave _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners

by Giovanni Corriga 03 Oct '06

Hi all, The Weekly Squeak is a blog/newszine that publishes newsbits about Squeak and its development, tracking mailing lists, blogs and the like. We've just restarted publications after a nine months hiatus, and we're looking for volunteers to help us find and publish interesting news and articles. Working with the News team is also a good way to get more involved in the Squeak community. So, if you're interested in helping, or you just have a newsbit or an article you'd like to get published, please contact me ( giovanni(a)corriga.net ) or the Squeak News team ( news(a)lists.squeakfoundation.org ). Thanks, Giovanni

SqueakSource vs SqueakMap
by Simon Guest 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hi, Please could someone characterise the different intended use of SqueakSource.com as compared with SqueakMap? Is SqueakMap now a legacy thing, and new projects should be done in Monticello format on SqueakSource? cheers, Simon

Tweak question
by itsme213 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

I don't understand (what appears to me as) some duplication in Tweak's event propagation mechanism in the bank-account tutorial http://tweak.impara.de/TECHNOLOGY/Tutorials/BankAccountTutorial/ : an ATM hooked to a bank account and displaying its balance on its #balanceReadout. It keeps the #balanceReadout widget current by hooking into 2 separate events with 2 pieces of code: onAccountChanged "Update the balance readout when the account changes" <on: accountChanged> self updateBalanceReadout onAccountValueChanged "Update the balance readout when the account value changes" <on: valueChanged in: account> self updateBalanceReadout. This seems unnecessary. If I simply declared the path to the target object being observed: { #account #value } It seems I have said enough to respond correctly to both #accountChanged and #valueChanged. The rest could be done by Tweak behind the scenes. Such a role-chain is a common scenario: A is watching the #x of the #y of the #z. Hence A has to react to xChanged, yChanged, and zChanged (in the appropriate corresponding target objects). Similarly, given Tweaks real + virtual fields, I'm not sure why all the on<X>Changed stuff needs to be explicit. Why not directly reference the fields e.g. Isn't the underlying event behavior adequately determined by something declarative along the lines of: { #balanceReadout #value } derivedFrom: { #account #value } Is there already some better way to do this in Tweak, just not used in the tutorial? Thanks.
