First, I hope there *is* a shortcut and that someone corrects the record promptly.
Second, my (Ubuntu) computer just called home and wanted to install updates to a thing called d-bus, which was described as a simple IPC mechanism. Being the curious sort, I did a search and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Bus The timing was quite convenient. A Windows port is said to exist, and there is mention of its running as a daemon, which would be needed to replace the mechanism Dolphin exploits. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-boun...@lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-boun...@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Diogenes Moreira [diogenes.more...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 8:03 AM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Any Clue..

As an aside, I am suspicious that opening an image more than once leads to much more badness than is generally acknowledged. I am convinced it was central to my most recent meltdown. The only reason I don't have more trouble is that I have learned to scan the task bar before launching Pharo. We need a cross-platform way to detect that a given image is open and to at least optionally warn and offer to exit without doing any damage. Dolphin does so by creating a Windows synchronization object (either a semaphore or an event??) tied to the image name, and if that object exists, it sternly warns against proceeding. Deployed executables do not do this check by default. Good luck retrieving your work! ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-boun...@lists.gforge.inria.fr<mailto:pharo-project-boun...@lists.gforge.inria.fr> [pharo-project-boun...@lists.gforge.inria.fr<mailto:pharo-project-boun...@lists.gforge.inria.fr>] On Behalf Of Diogenes Moreira [diogenes.more...@gmail.com<mailto:diogenes.more...@gmail.com>] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 7:42 AM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr<mailto:Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr> Subject: [Pharo-project] Any Clue..
