Hi. Many times I was trying to find "global" files of some packages in system.
For example do you know how to find epicea session logs? There is class side method for this at EpMonitor: EpMonitor logsDirectory Is it easy to find when you never look at it? No. Do you know how to find sources file? There is message in Smalltalk global: Smalltalk sourcesFile Is it easy to find? No. And there are many other examples. But if you read about FileSystem library. You know the common place where to find well known files. It is FileLocator. For example changes file is here: FileLocator changes. So my idea is to introduce kind of pattern, the good style, how to access global application files: they should be in FileLocator as extensions. Then it would be super easy to find files of any applications. What do you think? If it is good idea then we should fix current places in system to follow this pattern. Best regards, Denis
