I'm not sure this is accurate if I do
open Squeak.app Squeakx.image
Then with the carbon VM I get the VM launched which then asks me for
an image via the file selection navigation services,
AND I get a copy of the VM launched which opens the Squeakx.image.
This is because the Squeak.app runs, then the
Squeakx.image sends an open document request to the VM which then
looks at the *.image and invokes some applescript to
launch a copy of the VM with the *.image.
This logic was developed a few years back to solve the problem of
double-clicking
on the a image file and it would open file browser in the running
squeak.image which wasn't exactly what a person wanted.
I note that saying
open -a Squeak.app Squeakx.image
does the right thing since it asks to open Squeakx.image with the
application Squeak.app
Now if I do
open -a Squeak\ VM\ Opt.app Squeakx.image test.st
then that starts the application, opens the image, and then opens the
test.st in a file edit browser, well not what we want either.
In looking at the issue for historical reasons I've done a cwd to the
VM path when the app starts. If I remove that
./Development/Squeak.app/Contents/MacOS/Squeak\ VM\ Opt ./Development/
Squeakx.image test.st
Well that works as desired, now I wonder about side-effects...
Ok well it won't open the Squeak.image that is found in the same
directory as the Squeak.app if you launch from the Dock because
the cwd isn't done and I'd guess cwd points to '/' So let me add a
change to check for no '.' or '/' on the image name means look in VM
directory,
so the default Squeak.image turns into a search for /Application/
Squeak.image if Squeak.app is in /Application/
Yes that works.
Ok I'll push out a 3.8.19beta1U for testing

BTW I have a request for the mac VM
Since I would like to use Squeak as a scripting language I would
really like to be able to do
squeak image file
right now I have to pass the full pathname of image and file.
Would it be possible to get that?
I think the answer for the VM application is no because Mac OS X
opens applications in /.
So the VM cannot find the image unless given a full pathname and
cannot find file unless given a full pathname either since the image
won't be in the same directory as the image file.
But it is trivial to write a shell script to wrapper the VM that
supplies the full pathnames, e.g.
----8<---squeak---8<---
#!/bin/sh
open /Applications/SqueakFoo.app /Applications/SqueakFoo.app/
Resources/Scripting.image "`pwd`/$1"
----8<---squeak---8<---
and then have Scripting.image change its working directory to that
of the file argument, not the image.
I currently run from the command line using the attached
CommandLineLauncher via e.g.
../stackvm/macbuild/Qwaq\ VM.app/Contents/MacOS/Qwaq\ VM ~/Qwaq/Cog/
Benchmarks/stck-1.2.21.image -doit "UnixProcess stdOut nextPutAll:
'Hello world!'; nl"
Hello world!
Thanks

I've push out an iPhone 1.07 VM.
http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html
This VM uses the latest core Pharo image.
The VM has a number of changes to enable C data structure support
and code examples for
putting up a UITextEdit and UITextView for single and multiple line
textual input, along with
the ability to execute objective-c methods on the main thread versus
the squeak thread.
There is of course a new ObjectiveCPlugin for os-x users.
For developers the key to getting a UITextEdit field to work is that
you *must* create the UITextEdit
thread on the main thread, otherwise if you create the object on the
squeak thread, then attempt to
use it for textual input on the main thread as per recommendations
it deadlocks on a semaphore when it
decides that the two process threads are different.
Still to do is finishing the Keyboard entry logic, (oh I'm sure just
a few minutes should do it...). Then
I'll see if I can get a Menu control example working
I've not included the VNC logic since I don't know if anyone uses
it, or if it can be integrated into the
Pharo image at this time, however I suspect someone will let me know.
