drag and drop project bug

Hi Edgar,

I can confirm that there is a difference between dragging and dropping a project on a trunk squeak image (you get the MultibyteFile... error) and reading in project from the menubar. The second way works the first way does not. IMO that's a genuine bug. Deserves a mantis report.

I haven't looked to see why.

Yours in service and curiosity, --Jerome Peace

Ok , very thanks.

Balázs said he don't have this ...
You have linux Ubuntu now ? So It's not a OS X thing?

Gary , you have several OS, could confirm ?

Re: drag and drop project bug

Hi,

The problem stems from ExternalDropHandler class not being initialized properly.
If you evaluate ExternalDropHandler initialize, it fills up its
RegisteredHandlers classvariable, we get a drop handler for projects
and the problem goes away.
Probably this is broken by ReleaseBuilderTrunk >> prepareNewBuild, where we
send resetRegisteredHandlers to ExternalDropHandler.

Looks as though Balazs has identified the cause but I'll check it tonight. Two questions: 1. Where is the project being dragged from? 2. Does "menubar" mean "World menu / load project from file" or the Projet menu on the DockingBar, or something else?

Jerome - did you submit a bug report to Mantis?

Ok, very thanks.
Using projects is a key feature of Squeak , your find is important.

If you do not have a project, saving and loading projects works now .
Older (before Closures) project do not works, but .morph yes.

My first successful test was drag and drop the BatMorph and save the .pr as
BatTest.pr

If you like , download
http://ftp.squeak.org/various_images/FunSqueak/FunSqueak3.11-9408-alpha.zip

Inside have some projects, save local and drag and drop.
