Re: The Insidious Postscript and what to do about it. (Was [Help] How to delete...

Hi Stef,

How often do you open a squeak image?

Of those times how often do you check the default
changesets postscript?

The problem of the current ScriptLoading postscript is
worthy of attention because it has caught not only me
but many others. If you would check the mantis bug
reference you will see that andreas was complaining
about another innocent caught by the problem not
myself. I also remember one or two posts to the list
complaining of the postscript lying in wait for the
unsuspecting.

There is a simple solution. If you will look at and
use the attached named change set.

The next time you want to load the world edit the cs
in a text editor save it to disk and then load or
install it. This way the cs with the postscript has a
proper name and also provides for new default
postscriptless changeset.

The new postscript saved as: ScriptLoaderDoit-sd.1.cs
