when i first run the squeak image, and found the projects, i thought, that i could write the code and break anything in one project, and then return to another one, and everything will work as if nothing happens. Bummer. As i understood, this is a 'morphic projects' - i.e. the separate morphic world where you could place the morphs and arrange them in any way you like. But the thing is, that in such form its not very userful to me , because in my understanding, the project is something more than just being able to save the position & placement of various morphs on desktop. Using a projects in a fashion like multiple morphic desktops is might be a userful, but then, its naming is too vagure/ambiguous. I think it should be renamed to MorphicProject, because as i noted before, if something having a 'Project' name, then it should provide the way how i could completely separate one project from another one :) Just my 2c. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
