Hi Sergio -
What version of Squeak are you using? In Squeak 3.10 and 4.0 there is a 32MB limit to the changes file which has been removed in 4.1 (in 4.1 the changes file should be unlimited).

It's not a stupid question. Generally there is an "about this system" in the desktop's help menu which will tell you what version you're running. It might be a bit hard to find (which is why we've promoted it in 4.1). > i downloaded the latest pharo: > > Pharo-1.0-10508-rc2 > Latest update: #10508 Ah, you're running Pharo. I'm not an expert on Pharo but I believe that Pharo 1.0 still has the 32MB changes file limit. That means you'll have to run "Smalltalk condenseChanges" to reduce the size of the changes file. You'll want to make a backup copy of your image+changes before you try that though, there have been some issues with that operation in the past and I can't vouch for how well that'll work in Pharo. If it doesn't you'll have to start with a "fresh" image and changes file.

Not to a certain date, no. You need to run "Smalltalk condenseChanges".
