To summarise I’d like to propose adding startup scripts manager to pharo
luncher. What’s more, usually we are working on our one “project”. And as it’s
a good practice to start from a fresh image, we either have to load a
configuration of it into fresh images or download pre-built image from CI. And
we are too bound to CI because of image building. What I see as next step in
the development workflow, is to say to the launcher: I want this Project is
this Image (3.0, 4.0) with this prefs (experiences). The launcher builds the
thing and you can work with it.
In general I like your idea a lot, but let’s have a little discussion to hear
what the others have to say.

That would be a REALLY cool. Something like like a CI builder for home?
Doubly cool if the framework could be bent to do something like the
following scenarios...
1. A menu item "Test A Slice" that asks for a case number, creates a new
image from the latest "Local" template, named like...
"Case12345-Build40230 The Case Description"
then on that image runs a script that
a. Opens Inbox repository
b. Adds slice number to filter
c. For latest slice, clicks <Changes>. "as a reference after merge"
d. For latest slice, clicks <Merge>, then waits for user interaction.
2. Allow user to define a test script to be run across multiple images,
in a binary search pattern, to help isolate the first occurrence of a bug.

Dear experience makers (Martin, yuriy, tommaso, roberto and others,)
you would like to have many people doing your experience.... I know you would
love that.
Here is my suggestion: ease the use of new images.
Each time I want to load the projects I'm hacking and I do not have a jenkins
for it, it is painful (setting up
the repos.... loading....). So I do not change often images and I'm reluctant
to load new stuff (like your experiments)
- build a simple little tool that could be integrated in pharo and would do
the following:
- let the user (un)/select some packages or configurations
- generate a script to reload these configurations really easily
This way I can load my project and then you provide a script for your
experience.
and after I can reload my project with your material for experience in my new
image.
Right now I do not like to hack the preference file because I have images where
I do not want any interference
So is my proposal clear?
Stef
