Looking for help with some issues I've come across in Squeak 4.5 All-In-One for Windows.
Squeak 4.5 All-In-One OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) D:\Squeak-4.5-All-In-One
Hey everyone,
It's been several years since I tried to learn Squeak so I'm not surprised that things have changed, but these issues are a bit unusual so I thought I'd ask for some help. Anyway long story short (Too late! Hehehe) here are some of the things that appear to be broken or have changed making it difficult to work in Squeak 4.5.
1. Unable to "Save Project" and "Save Project As". When I do, it allows me to name the Project and it brings up the Resource Folder which doesn't show the "Squeaklets" folder (which should and does exist) and when I try to save anywhere in the resources or another folder I receive a Debug error "MessageNotUnderstood: ScrapBook>>emptyScrapsBook".
2. Unable to find packages in "StarMap Catagories" and "StarMap Catalog" other than the ones already in my Squeak distribution. Now if there is a new way to find and install packages in Squeak please let me know.
I've only been using Squeak for a few hours now and these stumbling blocks are making it difficult to learn how to properly use Squeak so if anyone can assist me with these I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and have a good day!

This is a bug introduced by environments aka namespaces. My personal solution is to use 4.4 for development and 4.5 for deployment as I don't need environments. ftp://ftp.squeak.org/4.4/ is where you find the all in one.
Depending on why you need projects you can use 4.5 anyway just keep backups of your image. If you are into tile scripting you may want to use Etoys which at some time in the past forked off Squeak and has tile scripting as its main form of use. AFAIK they keep good Squeak compatibility.
Every now and then I wreck an image. I need projects for documentation, as creativity space and as multiple desktops. I need to save the documentation projects that's why I use 4.4.
Cheers,
Herbert

I assume you mean SqueakMap here. There is an update button which will populate the catalogue.
