Re: [Newbies] Resources with Monticello

Hi Matthias,

how does one work with resources (e.g. image files (GIFs, ...)) used in the application when working with Monticello and in general?

Right now I have them on my hard drive and they are read live into Squeak when they are needed. Of course, others don't have the files at hand when working in a distributed fashion.

What are the best practices in regard of distribution/packaging as well as performance?

Due to lack of decent resource management in all Smalltalks we usually put such resources directly into methods, usually as literal array. In Aida/Web we have so called method resources and method images, in Seaside there is a FileLibrary.
