Re: Trait 1.1 and Basic 3.7 gamma2
by stéphane ducasse 31 Aug '04

Hi As a simple start you can find the example based on complex. I think that normally traits should work on shrunk images, let us know what are the problems you get. But you need to have the KCP fixes so it should be a 3.7 one. For MVC I guess that the imageBrowser should work (you will not get all the fancy trait browsing support of the OminBrowser TraitBrowser but you can still program.

Squeak Swiki QOTD page

Hm, it seems like we've had some busy vandals on the QOTD page. I'm trying to make head or tail of the edits - some quotes have been slightly altered, some have mangled existing quotes, and they've added many "quotes" of their own. I've tried to tease out as much of the damage as I can. frank ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Despite from not loading the prerequisite Monticello package another problem has occurred to somebody: When OmniBrowser already was installed in the image Traits could not be loaded properly. Apart from that I don't know about any problems loading or working with Traits. Please let me know if it does not work for you with the newest Monticello version!

SqueakSource: static links?
by Ingo Hohmann 30 Aug '04

30 Aug '04

Hi All, it seems that SqueakSource does not have static links, but I think it would be nice to be able to post links to projects/people on this list, or on other webpages. What do you think? Kind regards, Ingo

Hi All, as a learning project I implemented an NNTPClient in Squeak. You can find it on SqueakSource. ( http://www.squeaksource.com/@xdRfAzmbefndbler/BxxSfCqB (?)) As this is a learning project, I would highly appreciate any feedback, about coding, handling of SqueakSource/-Map, naming, and whatever you find worth mentioning. Kind regards, Ingo

[FIX] TextMorphSelectionFix-rr ([sm][cd] new version)
by rrobbes＠info.unicaen.fr 30 Aug '04

30 Aug '04

from preamble: "Change Set: FocusFixes-rr Date: 23 March 2004 Author: Romain Robbes V2 : provides more visual feedback by changing the selection color upon focus change, as suggested by Hernán Tylim. Makes the selected text in a TextMorph not disappear when the morph loses focus, by removing the call to releaseEditor in TextMorph>>keyboardFocusChange: . This makes the TextMorphs' behavior more consistent with text panes in the host platforms, and makes Squeak a more consistent with itself, as this will allow all menus to behave according to the menuKeyboardControl preference, including the ones in a paragraph. Also included are the changes in PluggableTextMorph and StrikeFont, to allow menus to be invoked modally, and thus having keyboard control if the preference is set"!
