Why don't you try? It does not bite.

For me it works in all scenario. I have projects that i manage over
several weeks and others I drop day to day.
And I have also startup script per versions.

Maybe I will. The main problem was I didn't what it's good about at all - load image for a version, runs it - what's the "wow it's great" about? Missed part was it loads correct vm; plus makes sense when you have hundreds (I don't). Now it must be combined with the startup script magic to work with long-time projects, but those are also new to me - did not know of them until your booklet, not using them at all yet.

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)?

Thanks, Herby

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.

         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.
