Hi: I found that several times, we need to run some piece of code after a slide.

What about having a method in ScriptLoader where we can commit that together with the slice? Then when someone integrates that, it will see that, and will move that piece of code, from there, to the update or script methods.

I don't know. What do you think ?

If I understood correctly, Monticello already has this feature for package so I guess it should work for slices.

Click on a package in MC browser, then click on the 'Scripts' button in the toolbar, you get menu to edit the preamble, postscript, as well as preambleOfRemoval and postscriptOfRemoval

Preamble/Postscripts don't work anymore in Pharo though, following the procedure you outlined I get a DNU when selecting the script I want to edit.
Not sure when they were removed, but probably it was part of some PackageInfo cleaning.

Thanks Simon. I wasn't aware of that. However, I think it doesn't fix completely what I mean. Suppose an integrator load that slice. Ok, the script will be automatically run, BUT in his PC. Then, suppose he load some others scripts and he finally do a new release. If WE want to update trough the update stream to the image, it won't work. That's why we have the update methods in ScriptLoader (I think). So, in such case, they have to put it there also, I they have to be aware of that.
