Thank you all, now I understand it better. Good for lots of "branches".
However, I wonder how does it work with the rule I read somewhere: "start each day [of work on a project] with a new image", which means I should not reuse clean new image (as it needs populating from VCSes etc.) nor reuse existing image (I should start with the new one). Or does it combine with some startup-magic described in one of the recent Steph's booklets, the "one start per [new] image" case (but again, one should discriminate projects from each other)?

Hi Herby, normally people use different images for their different projects, different versions, trying things, etc. Which means we end up with many locations on disk, and it can be hard to track. So PharoLauncher is a nice tool where you can download fresh image just by clicking, and you see the list of your local images and can launch them, etc. Peter On Thu, Nov 23, 2017 at 12:56 PM, Herby Vojčík <he...@mailbox.sk <mailto:he...@mailbox.sk>> wrote: Stephane Ducasse wrote: Hi I love the PharoLauncher. Pardon my question, I have downloaded it and looked at it, but I don't get it. What does it do / what are the use cases (honest question)? Thanks, Herby It helps me to manage my parallel development and projects. We should put a link on the Pharo web site because http://files.pharo.org/platform/launcher/ <http://files.pharo.org/platform/launcher/> is arcane. Stef
