Hey all,
I have a giant pile of images from the last two years. Many of them have experiments I'd rather not lose, but I tend to meander in a Squeak image, and forget to name the image files well, so I basically have a lot of images that might have interesting changes, and no easy way to figure out which ones I want to keep around, or extract things from.
I've gone through most of them manually. I'd like to be able to search an image for changes that have my initials attached to them, though, because poking around in a change sorter is perilous when there've been changes from the trunk (it's noisy.) I don't know enough about how/where changes are kept in the system to do that though.
Any help would be much appreciated! I'd love it if I could inspect something in particular and find the data structure that my changes live in.
How's this for starters?
SystemNavigation new browseAllSelect:[:method| method fileIndex > 1 "only look at changes file" and:[method timeStamp beginsWith: 'your-initials-here']. ].
Cheers, - Andreas

Andreas: thank you.
Interesting! The fileIndex part wouldn't have been obvious to me, even though it makes enough sense.
I wonder: am I experiencing a new (ish) problem?
One of the things that's fascinated me over the past year is that Squeak has really fantastic tools for solo development, which scale up really well to a small team (read: researchers,) but don't seem to be convenient in the context of a larger, distributed group of people working asynchronously on different things.
Have other people also had the "where are my changes/the changes from Trunk scroll forever" problem?
Given, if I'd been checking in with MC, I might not have this issue. But working in multiple images (especially when they differ by major versions) usually means multiple MC repos, so...
I'm going to add a method on SystemNavigation (and stick it in a menu) that does something like what Andreas has suggested to my personal images. "show my changes"
My question is: would this be useful to other people, or would it be another method/menu item that no one else uses? Should I push the change to the inbox?

I would find that really useful and use it.
Have fun, Markus
Hah, I love Smalltalk. Added the method. I was expecting a bug when I tried to use it without first having set my initials. Instead, a dialog popped asking for my initials. Hooray. Also checked that nothing blows up when the author hasn't got any changes in the image, that was okay too.
Added SystemNavigation>>browseMyChanges to the inbox. If folks feel like it's useful enough to bring into the trunk, I will write a supporting menu item in a separate commit for ease of use.

I share the attatched hoping help you
File in 7207UtilitiesmethodsWithInitialsinClass.1.cs in your image "Create a new Change Set:" Utilities methodsWithInitials: 'edc' inClass: Object . " choose inspect " self keysAndValuesDo:[:k :v | ChangeSet current adoptSelector: k forClass: v methodClass ] "Make this in code panel"
Export the .cs , you have the ObjectENH.2.cs (in my case_
Or do
"Utilities methodsWithInitials: 'edc' inPackage: 'Monticello'" (in my fork, so I could have my methods in current trunk²
