I just started going through Squeak by Example and I already have a problem. I'm running Squeak 4.5 on a Macbook Air and I can't find where the image files are saved on my hard drive. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank You

Hi Emmanuel,
assuming you use a all in one you will find it in the folder \Squeak-4.5-All-in-One.app\Contents\Resources. Don't know how a Mac shows this path. In a workspace you can enter "Smalltalk imagePath" (without "") and printIt. This will give you the path. That aside I'd try to use the image that goes with the book because 4.5 differs quite a lot from the image used in the book. http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/4624/SqueakByExample-1.3.zip gets you the relevant image. Someone who owns a Mac may show you how to get the relevant sources file (V3.9) and a 3.9 VM for the Mac. I can go searching if you need further help but hopefully someone with a Mac chimes in.

Thanks Herbert
I ended up looking around did find it eventually, right in the folder you mentioned. I am seeing some differences between 4.5 and the examples in Squeak By Example. For instance the Squeak Map package loader only shows 14 packages. On the top bar of the window it says showing (14 of 798 packages) but I can't figure out how to get it to load the other 784 packages. The book seems to be using Squeak 3.9 I'm going to try an install that and see if that helps.
Again Thanks for responding Thank You Emmanuel GenardOn Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 2:03 AM, Herbert König <[hidden email]> wrote:

Hi Emmanuel
on http://www.squeak.org/Downloads read the advanced section about Virtual machine, sources, image and changes files (it's terse). After that get the bottom entry from http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/mac/ and there replace the image and changes files with the ones from the link in my previous mail. That should get you the exact version of Squeak used in the book. I don't know if the mac does some magic startup and won't allow to replace the image and changes. If so just drag the image on the VM. Cheers, Herbert Am 04.09.2014 um 17:40 schrieb Emmanuel

Envoyé de mon iPhone I think (don't have my Mac at hand ) you just press the option key when selecting Squeak-4.5-All-in-One.app and you'll have the choice to open a bundle which is an apple container.
