[ENH] addHorzScrollbar
by sps2000＠mail.com 29 Feb '04

29 Feb '04

from preamble: "Change Set: scrollport Date: 28 December 2002 Author: Steven Swerling I was adding a horizontal scrollbar to the SimpleHierarchicalListMorph, but realized that many of the methods would be generic to any subclass of ScrollPane. And there were many methods. So I moved the changes up to ScrollPane. This changeset adds a horizontal scrollbar to ScrollPane, which appears as needed. I don't know if there is any demand for this, so I'm just running it up the flagpole. WARNING: The last thing you need is for a bug in ScrollPane. I don't know of any in this code, but better safe then sorry. So consider this a beta. Please tinker around with your applications to make sure everything is working ok before saving your image. Tested on a fresh 3.4 image w/ updates up to #5138. "!

[Bug] TextMorph 'text color...' interface 'cancel' button doesn't work
by Ken Causey 21 Feb '04

21 Feb '04

Tested in both 5156 and 5169 updated images. In both cases grab a TextMorph, choose 'text color...' from the halo menu, play around with the text changing whatever you like and then choose 'cancel'. The result varies from 5156 to 5169. In 5156 the text is neither unchanged nor changed to exactly what you changed in the interface. In 5169 all changes are applied and 'cancel' is equivalent to 'accept'. Ken Causey

[BUG] ClosureCompiler
by Avi Bryant 08 Feb '04

08 Feb '04

Anthony, Try compiling the following method in any class: foo 1 = 1 ifTrue: [2] I get the error 'positive if jumps only'. Now, don't ask *why* someone would write such a method (anything you do to make it useful gets rid of the error) but this is a minimal example of an actual method in Comanche that has the same problem, so I thought I'd point it out.

How to start Squeak under WinXP from image on network?
by Ned Konz 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

I just installed the downloadable version of Squeak 3.5 on a Windows XP machine. I can start Squeak on local images (i.e. on the C: drive). that is, this works from a cmd prompt: cd /d c:\squeak squeak.exe squeak.image I tried to open an image several ways, but am not able to start up images on network shares. For instance, this doesn't work: c:\squeak\squeak.exe \\ned\homes\Squeak\3.6\squeak.image even though I can in fact see the image file in the explorer. Squeak complains that it can't find the file. Why doesn't this work? If I map a drive it works, though very very slowly: map h: \\ned\homes c:\squeak\squeak.exe h:\Squeak\3.6\squeak.image But I was trying to avoid mapped drives, since they seem to be just "tacked on" to NT (i.e. they have to go through a translation to become native resource names, etc.) and they're something else that can break. -- Ned Konz http://bike-nomad.com GPG key ID: BEEA7EFE

[BUG] TextPropertiesMorph - overflow
by Webb McDonald 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

If you have a text that's substantially large, opening a TextPropertiesMorph to add color becomes impossible. The window opens as large as your full text - is there an alternative? I believe it needs a scrollbar! Can I make this fix and turn it in? also - GeeMail gets blown away when you open TextPropertiesMorph... but I'm not sure where its best to begin with this, (it could call for a rethinking of TextPropertiesMorph - make edits to the existing TextMorph instead of a tmp copy? - evidently this problem with GeeMail occurs btwn the transition from 'TextPlusMorph', to tmp TextMorph, and back to TextPlusMorph). If no one has an opinion on this then I'll go ahead and do these changes! (or please inform me otherwise) - adios, Webb McDonald 1324481.14 662809.63

[FIX][REPOST] slightProgress-sm
by simon＠joyful.com 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

I file this in to every new image to get more accurate project loading progress bars, and it still works for me. So I thought I'd repost. from preamble: "Change Set: SlightProgress-sm Date: 3 Nov 2001 Author: Simon Michael Make project loading progress indicators slightly more accurate by storing timing data separately for local & remote downloads. After loading a few projects you should notice less flickering, especially when downloading large projects over a slow link. Also fixes the spelling of the TranslucentProgressMorph class."!

[Bug] The ever-widening PluggableTextMorph
by Ken Causey 31 Dec '03

31 Dec '03

( PluggableTextMorph on: nil text: nil accept: nil readSelection: nil menu: nil ) extent: 50@100; editString: 'This is some really long text that will hopefully cause the PTM to wrap and a scollbar appear'; hResizing: #shrinkWrap; openInWorld. Now either extend the text or just wiggle the scrollbar and watch the PluggableTextMorph widen and widen. The hResizing: #shrinkWrap seems to lead to this behaviour. Ken

Amen to that. BTW, everyone is welcome to join the review fest going on in the final hours of 3.6alpha by installing the BFAV and reviewing/testing/ commenting something (even if its small). I intend to do some approving tommorrow, so stuff that gets enough loving and is ready still has a chance to get in. Daniel PS.
