Feature request: Waiting cursor on load

jfabry
Hi All,

finally able to get going on Pharo, I wanted to load Moose. I got the  
ConfigurationOfMoose package, and run the loadDefault method.

I have no problem with a 'load' taking for ever, I know I am on the  
other side of the ocean. But please change the cursor to a 'wait'  
cursor while doing the load. It takes a loooooooong time before the  
first progress bar shows, I almost panicked. And now a progress bar  
just dissapeared, but there is still nothing I can do. The 'wait'  
cursor would go a long way in easing my mind. And it's probably just  
one line of code ...

Yes, I am always complaining for the same. But I really don't know if it is a single line of code. At even if it were, which line? haha

You can, at least, open a bug ticket in google code.

What I always do is to click on the world so that the popup menu is reaised when the load finishes.

Cheers,

Mariano

I registered this as Issue 1522 with a 4-line solution (due to indentation :-P ) that does not work fully :-( I leave it to the Pharo experts to do the rest ;-)

Very good start!

Yeah, this is a well known problem.

Cheers,

Hi Johan,

Thanks for the report.

A better forum for Moose related problems would be the [hidden email]
  mailing list. You can subscribe here:
https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev

Also, to create an issue related to Moose, please use:
http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/list

Coming to your issue, this is due to Metacello having no progress bar.  
However, if you open a Transcript, you will get a progress report. So,  
now I changed a bit the ConfigurationOfMoose and it opens it for you  
when you loadDefault. You can get the change in:
ConfigurationOfMoose-tg.33

Cheers,
Doru

Hi Doru,

thanks for the workaround!

Thanks for pointing me to the moose google code side. Expect some  
moose-related bugreports from me in the issue tracker, for example in  
a few minutes my inability to debug Mondrian scripts in Pharo. (I  
leave figuring out who is the end responsible to you guys ...). http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1525

Re: Feature request: Waiting cursor on load

Thanks Johan,

this is indeed a Pharo/Squeak problem. Time to times, the morph  
causing an error is not draw in red but loops. Could be that  
WorldState>>displayWorldSafely: does not find the guilty morph.

Cheers,
Alexandre
