PharoLauncher as the default Pharo download

ᐧ

That is a good question. I have to admit that I do use iTunes, and I have often been annoyed by not being able to - easily - find the files. I can certainly see the value of presenting end users with simple interfaces, but I am with Johan, I would like to be able to put my images somewhere more obvious - to a developer - particularly because this would make Dropbox/google drive synching easier.

Obviously, we can do all of this, but it has never been quite as obvious as I would like it to be.

Cheers

Andy

Just of curiosity, do you use iTunes, or organise music in directories by yourself? :)

I don't want to open a special tool to do the stuff I can do already in the finder. Also having megas and megas of images (which are just documents) in a "hidden, black magic" folder just makes my hairs stand on end, so I needed to communicate all those feelings.

if you go to the settings of Pharo Launcher, you can now choose where your images should be.
