I'm a notification, with an unclear purpose because I have no senders
in the image.
I should probably be removed from the system.

In reply to this post by laurent laffont

I provide a way to indicate that an object would like a file to write to.

You can use me as follows:

| file |

[file := PickAFileToWriteNotification signal. file inspect] on: PickAFileToWriteNotification do: [:ex | | newFileName stream | newFileName := FillInTheBlankMorph request: 'Name of file to write:' translated initialAnswer: 'xxx'. stream := FileStream fileNamed: newFileName. stream ifNotNil: [ex resume: stream]]

Indeed there's no reference in Pharo.

In Squeak it is used by PostscriptEncoderToDisk and DSCPostscriptCanvasToDisk which don't exist in Pharo.

So I suppose that it can be safely removed.

Thanks Fernando & Carlo (I like the code snippet).

Laurent.
