hi dale, digesting your word flow right now :P... I don't think I will touch a computer this weekend so I probably take a look at it on monday to make the two things work...
just to clarify what I intend to do: - update FS in 1.4 so we have all the "modern" features - provide an optionally loadable FileDirectory stub in 2.0 I hope like that migration should become easier, since you can simply load code in 2.0 and slowly start calling FileReference methods on the FileDirectory entries. My FileDirectory wrapper in 2.0 is simply a subclass of FileReference, being polymorphic here, I think, should really ease the migration task. best cami On 2012-08-10, at 19:15, Dale Henrichs <dhenr...@vmware.com> wrote: > Cami, > > turns out that #readStreamDo: was added for FileTree in Pharo1.x so adding it > doesn't need to be part of the base ... > > #name would then be the only compatibility method ...
