Hi all, Is it possible to add actions in a Mondrian Pane in Glamour ? I would like to add somethink like: ----- browser mondrian title: 'test'; act: [:each | each selection inspect] entitled: 'inspect'; painting:....... ----- But now, it does not work. Is there another way to do it ? Cheers, --- Jannik Laval ---

Glamour view update triggering, how?
by Johan Fabry 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi all, a question: I have a tree on a collection of elements, with the following specification: tags: [:asp | {asp show ifTrue:[MenuIcons smallOkIcon] ifFalse: [MenuIcons smallCancelIcon]}]; act: [:tree | |asp| asp := tree selection. asp show: (asp show not) ] on: $t entitled: 'Toggle On/Off (t)'; Now when the toggle action is performed, the tree should redisplay, as the tag needs to change. (adding a tree update within the act block does not work :-( ) How do I achieve this? Thanks in advance! -- Johan Fabry jfabry(a)dcc.uchile.cl - http://dcc.uchile.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD Lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

description of FAMIXPrimitiveType seems to not appear in 'MooseModel meta'
by Cyrille Delaunay 15 Dec '09

Hi, When executing 'FAMIXPrimitiveType asMooseDescription' we get an Error as result. The problem is that FAMIXPrimitiveType is not found in the moose metaRepository . Is it a normal behavior ?

Welcome and question!

Hi folks! I have just subscribed to the mailing list. I have a little question for you. I want to analyze and see a graphic of a graph of objects and the references between them. Note that I want objects, at runtime. Not static, not classes. Is there something in Moose that I can use ? Cheers, Mariano

Re: [Metacello] specific problem when loading a nested configuration

Mariano, Would you be in favor of the abstract class, if the abstract class itself had to be booted into the image? It's just a practical issue for me ... if we can count on the abstract class being preloaded in all dialects, then an abstract class makes sense. If we can count on Metacello being preloaded in some of the dialects, then the ensureMetacello method need only be present for portability to platforms in which Metacello is not preloaded. I don't disagree with the oddity of copy and paste. Earlier versions of Metacello configurations did rely on a superclass, but booting the superclass into the image was problematic. Granted bootstrapping would only be hard in Squeak, but it isn't supposed to be hard! The ensureMetacello method is only there for ease of bootstrapping software that is supposed to make it easy to boostrap software, but can't do the bootstrapping until it is bootstrapped itself:) I just hate the idea of making it harder to share configurations with Squeak...

Re: [Metacello] specific problem when loading a nested configuration

I wouldn't be entirely opposed to having an abstract configuration class, but I hate to switch the configuration structure in midstream again... it is very nice that a config can be loaded into any old smalltalk image without any prerequisites.... The #ensureMetacello method should simply load ConfigurationOfMetacello and go from there ... To require an abstract configuration class, I would want that class to be in the core for Pharo, GemStone and Squeak ... Metacello is already bundled with the core in GemStone so that leaves Squeak ... I really don't want to have to preface all of the install instructions with "Before loading the configuration, make sure that you've done X, Y and Z" If bootstrapping is the only consideration, I don't think it is worth making the change ... there isn't a lot protocol that I would want to put into the Abstract configuration class ... project instance variable and method ... If there are enough other arguments for an Abstract configuration class, then it would be good to make the switch sooner rather than later. Being able to view the configurations using a hierarchy browser is an advantage, but that's more of a tools issue. As I think about it, most of the advantages that come to mind are tools related. Even bootstrapping is a tools issue of sorts... What do others think? Dale ----- "Tudor Girba" <tudor.girba(a)gmail.com> wrote: | Oh!

Doru, I looked at the #ensureMetacello method ConfigurationOfMooseJEE, but didn't notice (the first, second and third time that I looked:) that it is using MetacelloConfiguration so latest version isn't getting a recent enough version of Metacello ... So update the ConfigurationOfMooseJEE class>>ensureMetacello to boot with ConfigurationOfMetacello instead of MetacelloConfiguration...

Hi Moosers, I just loaded Moose in the latest Pharo-Dev using the script on your website but I got a bunch of unloadable definitions: This package depends on the following classes: MorphTreeModel MorphTreeColumn MorphTreeNodeModel I did a proceed and obviously, Moose Finder does not open :-( Can you help me out ? ---------------------------- Johan Brichau johan.brichau(a)uclouvain.be

specific problem when loading a nested configuration
by Tudor Girba 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

Hi, A strange problem, that appeared before but was solved at the time, seems to resurface again in a slightly different context. It is related to the Morphic-MorphTreeWidget from the Momo squeaksource repository. This is needed in Glamour. Glamour is needed in Moose. Now, if you load ConfigurationOfMoose, it all works fine: Gofer new squeaksource: 'Moose'; addPackage: 'ConfigurationOfMoose'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMoose) perform: #loadDefault However, Moose is needed in MooseJEE. And if you load ConfigurationOfMooseJEE it does not work anymore: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MooseJEE'; addPackage: 'ConfigurationOfMooseJEE'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMooseJEE) perform: #loadDefault If you look in the packages to load, Morphic-MorphTreeWidget does not seem to appear among them in the latter case. I would need help for this one, if someone has time to look into that :) Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "The coherence of a trip is given by the clearness of the goal."
