There is a setting in PharoLauncher
A different approach to workaround Pharo 5 alpha transition in image
file format...
1. Download latest VM + Image
http://pharo.org/download -- Development version: Pharo5
or, get.pharo.org ... 50+vmLatest
2. After opening image, from World Menu go Tools > Catalog Browser
3. Install Pharo Launcher
4. Start PharoLauncher from the World Menu
Now I guess you will get the same in reverse, this wont open the old
image format. It would be nice for PharoLauncher to handle multiple
VMs, but in the meantime you may want to keep two PharoLauncher: Spur
& pre-Spur.
