SampleCode-ImageViewer

This is a question about the sample that was posted here last October, at

  http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/beginners/2006-October/001238.html

I am not able to make it work. I was able to file in the code and start an instance from a workspace with 'SampleImageViewerMorph new.' I click on the 'dir' button in the upper left hand corner of the resulting Image Viewer Morph window, and that summons a directory browser UI that I can navigate to a directory that has jpgs in it. ( e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\wades\My Documents\My Pictures\rocks5"). When I hit the 'accept' button in the directory browser, it goes away and the path to the directory I picked goes into the location bar or whatever you'd call it in the Image Viewer Morph window. A balloon comes up, saying 'When I'm populated, you can click on a file to load it.' Nothing happens.

If I try hitting the little '>' button by the location bar on the Image View Morph window, I get an "error out of bounds." If I debug that, I see that the error happens in SampleImageLoader>>loadImage: it appears that the SampleImageLoader's collection members are empty.

I tried making an instance of SampleImageLoader from the workspace, thinking I could manually initialize it and load the image list.

a _ SampleImageLoader new.
a inspect.
(open a transcript)
a loadImagesBelow: 'c:\stuff\rpics'
The transcript shows "Entering DosFileDirectory on 'c:\stuff\rpics'" and then nothing else happens.

Should any of this work?

I am using:

Squeak3.9
latest update: #7067
Current Change Set: Unnamed1
 OK


On WinXP SP2.

I  file the code and could see is working.

SampleImageViewerMorph new on a Workspace
Or select the class in the Sustem Browser and alt - click for "more"
and then "sample instace"

Could be enhanced to read all the picts formats and not only jpg.

Hints:
Go to Utilities >> graphicsFileSuffixes.
Investigate "senders"
Have fun !
