PharoLauncher is cool!! Once I realized I could specify the image folder with "PhLDirectoryBasedImageRepository location: aFileReference", I was very happy (I won't start the "images don't belong in ApplicationSupport thread again, promise ;)).
There is however one thing that I think could be very confusing... the build artifact is called "Pharo_0.2.4.dmg". Now I understand the rationale that for a new user we are trying for "PharoLauncher = Pharo", but even I was a little confused seeing version 0.2.4. Since it's only an installer, if we really need its version number in the artifact, how about "Pharo_Installer_0.2.4.dmg" or even the more verbose but perhaps clearer "Pharo_4.0_ Installer_0.2.4.dmg"? The application ultimately gets installed as "Pharo" anyway. Some cool things: - the fullscreen UI is neat - dropping down into developer mode is seemless and works well One other suggestion: I'm sure this must have been brought up before, but it seems to download a fresh image every time (e.g. even if two images are created from the same template within a few seconds). It seems like it should be possible to do some caching here...

Also the matrix build hasn't run in almost a month and the 4.0, stable Mac image is an out-of-date #40511 image. I kicked off the build manually. Let's see what happens...

I did see that, but my understanding was that we currently have two options: 1. the same image that was last downloaded via the local template 2. and downloading the latest version from files.pharo.org If that’s correct, I’m proposing a third option: download the latest from files.pharo.org unless it’s the same as the local template version.

I'd really like to do away with the "Local" template folder and on the original remote template indicate that it is cached locally - but I haven't found the time to experiment. cheers -ben On Sat, Mar 21, 2015 at 4:33 AM, Sean P.

I agree, I like PharoLauncher. It works very well. Sean, you didn't add a "deploy this image on Digital Ocean" command yet? Stephan |

I second this. What is philosophy behind installing PharoLauncher as "Pharo"? I can't see the gain. To me "Pharo Launcher" is a suitable descriptive application name. cheers -ben |

As a new user: 1- you download pharo (= the launcher) from pharo.org by clicking the large download button 2- you double-click what you've just downloaded and you are presented with the launcher window 3- you select a template on the right or an image on the left 4- you are done So, there is no more notion of launcher. Try with Eclipse. When you start Eclipse, you are presented with a little window that asks you which workspace you want to use. This is not called the Eclipse Launcher but just Eclipse. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill |
