(no subject)

Christophe did a pass because he faced the same problem and he
improved the situation.
Now he left on vacation (and was stopped because of a huge jenkins
crash because he left) and I do not know
the status. (because we are also annoyed and sorry than you by the situation).

- not downloading the sources;
- sources now need to be next to the image;
- when you upgrade the vm, you need to replace all those sources files
- default now dark theme, and not easy to switch
- icons only shown on hover

(Ubuntu 16.10LTS)

Because it is not so easy to determine what Pharo7 image version to
actually try, I noticed that there is at least one 6521 image that is
tried to be opened with a newer (32 bit) vm.

Definitely don't let my observations distract you from improving it.

What do you mean?
For Pharo images < 70, sources file for the current version and the previous version are downloaded with the VM.

For Pharo 7 images, no sources file are dowloaded since they come with the image.

I think default theme for the Launcher should be the same as the Pharo theme.
Would a (Launcher) preference help?

> - icons only shown on hover

yes, Pharo 6 regression.
I had the problem on other UIs. Will see if I can find a fix quickly.

They are not installed

Not solved.
Indeed, it is a problem of the Zip library that does not unzip properly (no preservation of permissions, does not handle symlinks).

It is a workaround but maybe I will add a strategy to use the unzip exe if I can find it on the system. That should solve most problems.
WDYT?

Sounds like a reasonable workaround for now.
