Hi Christophe,


This version is definitely cooler :)

Thanks

I just wander as for the previous version why deleting image can take some time, whereas it’s quick to delete the image repository. Is it normal ?

In Pharo, deleting files is slow because Pharo visits all the files to delete to check if there are file descriptors opened on these files to close them.
I think it is something that could be improved. In many situations, you know you do not have descriptors on these files and we could have a method to delete without doing the check, just the system call, without visiting the tree.

Another thing that might help my way of doing things. I like to "save as" the image so as to have a quick check point, and the launcher is not « friendly » with renaming as it loads the default image.

Any idea on how to integrate that ? Maybe having a list of images that pops-up ?

For this feature, I have no good idea for now.
I had in mind to use a tree instead of a list of images. You could expand if there are more than one image and see other images in the folder.
The problem is for the metadata file: we could assume that other images should use the same metadata as the core image and use them to run the image. (For now, the metadata filename is the same for all images).

I actually changed once the "save as » in a « save checkpoint charly » where it saves a copy but still load the default name. Might be an option ? :)

« Saves a copy » : do you mean you copy the full folder to another name ?

Cheers,
Christophe
