2 Disable the "eToyFriendly" preference


In the past was in the left About Flap , but no in Etoys-To-Go-5.0-Beta.

Now you need the following “la vuelta larga” “the long way”

1. open Object Catalog from Supply Bin
2. click "Alphabetic" and "P"
3. drag "Preferences" to desktop
4. click "Scripting"
5. uncheck "EtoysFriendly"
6. close Preferences and Object catalog

Cheers

Good find.


There has never been an official Squeakland release with the eToyFriendly preference in the flap. I only put that into the experimental touch test and iPad versions.

There are various means to get at the preferences dialog. It's in the world's halo menu, and in the "view-source" menu (special key on OLPC XO, cmd-comma elsewhere).

One thing I'd like to see is an example project showing how to use the Smalltalk tools. That would be the right place to explain the eToyFriendly preference. (And maybe we can finally fix the spelling to etoyFriendly)

Ok, try do do such Project.
And began to study how load Etoys pr. Files in trunk.
Also trunk could use this.

Alternative.

Maybe someone do this before and only need a window with links.

Off  course, remember now I got this and put and my old iPad.
What is the state of Squeak into iPad ?
See activity in Pharo about this and believe Hilarie have his DrGeo as app

It works, although there are rough edges. But Esteban has got Eliot's Stack VM to run, so everything is even a bit faster now.

OTOH to make a high-quality iPad/iPhone app you would need to do what John did and make a native interface. Morphic just doesn't cut it (unless someone would make Morphic use Core Animation layered rendering).

And the current Squeak interface is made for a mouse. There would have to be a serious UI redesign to make a nice touch-based Smalltalk development environment.

Designing a touch-friendly UI may be a bit easier for Etoys, but it too would need a lot of UI changes. Which is the reason why we haven't pushed much in that direction yet.

Yes, Esteban and I have been working with Hilaire on this (and with Dimitry for Android tablets):

More bugs:

Clicking on World menu , save project on file gives this...

P.S. Not feeling alone in alpha mistakes :=)

I can confirm this bug, but it's not critical since publishing projects from the navigator bar work.
