I inadvertently hit the wrong button(s) and my Windows XP menu item
for Dolphin 5.1 disappeared. I tried executing c:\Program Files\Object Arts\Dolphin Smalltalk 5.1\Dolphin.exe but it said failure to open Dolphin.img file. I also tried the Run window with "C:\Program Files\Object Arts\Dolphin Smalltalk 5.1\Dolphin.exe" "Professional.img" which is similar to the path reported in the Dolphin 5.0 menu item but it failed to work for either version. (Fortunately the menu entry itself still works on 5.0) So how do I restart Dolphin 5.1? Or, where is the change log located so I can retrieve the program I was working on? My folder options say to display hidden files but I don't see the Dolphin.chg, img, or src files for either 5.0 or 5.1. (I see the corresponding Fresh Install files but I don't want to use them right now.) Suggestions please? |

Assuming you saved (at least once) the image you were working on, there should be a set of 3 files, with extensions img, chg, and sml (the file stem name for all being whatever you saved the image as). I would suggest you look somewhere in your "My Documents" folder for these (I think the default installation is "My Documents\Dolphin Smalltalk 5.1"). If you didn't save the image, the stuff you worked on can still be retrieved from the change log of whatever image you started (presumably "Professional.img"). In this case, you'll need to use Ian's ChunkBrowser to extract your code. In general, it's easier to "run" the image file, rather than the Dolphin executable, and let Windows find the executable. For example, from Windows Explorer, double-click on an image file and Dolphin will start up with that image loaded. Or, again from Windows Explorer, right-click on the image file and "Send to / Desktop" to create a desktop shortcut for that image. Hope this helps. |

[show rest of quote] Thanks Louis, I'd missed the "My Documents" connection. I tried your suggestion but it used the wrong VM. Your information helped me pay more attention to the details of the icon properties and that got 5.1 going again. Thank you. |
