Karl Ramberg uploaded a new version of System to project The Trunk:

I strongly object to this change! I use this feature everytime I
start a base image, but now you've introduced an unnecessary and horribly-hard-to-use modal UI interaction to something that, previously, could be done in one-click or non-interactively via script. I'm sorry, but this is utterly *awful* and, wrong-headed in the first place. There is now no quick and easy way to transfer of personal preferences from one image to another -- I have to click 57 times instead of 1. No way. Please put it back the way it was and let's talk about what you want to do and work out an amicable way of doing it before slamming such a thing into trunk. My guess is you want to have multiple .prefs files. Maybe we need a new button for that. Or, how about holding the Shift key when clicking "load from disk" as a way to tell it to pop up your file-selection dialog? PS -- Plus, you forgot to put a log message in the version and now its part of trunk. Please always include a log message explaining "why" (not "what") the change is being made.

I especially appreciate that you contribute in areas that matter to real Squeak users, not just the guru types. I have yet not even looked this particular change, but from my point of view, mistakes and wrong steps can be a good thing when done for the right reasons. After all this is trunk, and if we make a change that we do not like, we can always change it back tomorrow. I am quite serious - I really look forward to any change with the kfr stamp, and I don't care at all if a few of those changes do not work out. Chris, Lighten up.

Experimentation is what Inbox is for.

I see no reason to make it personal about Karl. I didn't. I /never/ evaluate changes based on who did them, only the content and how they affect the system. When you have criticized my past contributions, I did not take it personally. I know that is important if I want Squeak to be the best it can be. > Chris, > > Lighten up. I apologize for the sentence with "wrong-headed" in it, that was overly critical. But the rest is pretty much straight facts. This change is not ready for trunk. It loses functionality and FileList2 is something we're trying to deprecate so we should not be introducing new dependencies on it, should we? |
