You usually don't lose your work if you are careful. Your changes are in squeak.changes. To recover work:
First, make a backup of everything! Copy a new image file over. Go to desktop->changes...->recently logged changes.
From there, you can view the source code changes you made and recover any
ones that you made since you last checked your code into a code repository using Monticello (which you did, right?).
In terms of recovering your image, using the Process browser to locate your errand processes and terminate them. I don't know how to investigate heap usage to find a memory leak though; I usually just use intuition. Maybe somebody else has a better answer?
I am quite new in squeak but i must say this IDE is really bad. When i make infinte cycle i lost my work. I have developer image from seaside.stbut this is as going back for 10-15 years in DOS or too old x-servers :(
I'd have to agree that the IDE is really bad, but the environment as a whole lets me do much more than any other IDE I've ever seen. Squeak remains an amazing tool with a bad UI. Feel free to help us improve it!
Save your work often and keep backups of your squeak.image and squeak.changes files!
To terminate an infinite loop, press alt-. If you used "fork" in your loop then bad luck :-).
In terms of age, you're going further back than DOS and old X-Servers! Smalltalk has been around since 1978.
If you need more help, join the #squeak IRC channel on irc.openprojects.net.
