i have just gotten the following error:
error: 'You have reached the size limit of the changes file. You must take action now to reduce it. Close this error. Do not attempt to proceed.'.
what i was trying to do was add a file to a file library..
the size of the file is: 3.4meg
my changes file is: 58.5meg
any ideas?
thanks!
Hi Sergio -
What version of Squeak are you using? In Squeak 3.10 and 4.0 there is a 32MB limit to the changes file which has been removed in 4.1 (in 4.1 the changes file should be unlimited).
Cheers, - Andreas

It's not a stupid question. Generally there is an "about this system" in the desktop's help menu which will tell you what version you're running. It might be a bit hard to find (which is why we've promoted it in 4.1).

Ah, you're running Pharo. I'm not an expert on Pharo but I believe that Pharo 1.0 still has the 32MB changes file limit. That means you'll have to run "Smalltalk condenseChanges" to reduce the size of the changes file. You'll want to make a backup copy of your image+changes before you try that though, there have been some issues with that operation in the past and I can't vouch for how well that'll work in Pharo. If it doesn't you'll have to start with a "fresh" image and changes file.

great...
okay, so it looks like the condenseChanges went okay..
i backed up my image an my changes file first..
i ended up with a .changes.old file at 81.2meg
and a .changes file at 9.2 meg
i will keep working away and see how it works..
thanks!

Not to a certain date, no. You need to run "Smalltalk condenseChanges".
