Hi Ben - I’m familiar with what you describe, and I guess I will have a poke.
I have noticed I can type - 0000, and put some text like
“Person—MyChanges-description” - so maybe I should just do that in my repo?
yes
Sean’s suggestion of a change set is a decent fallback, however given we have
code repositories it seems right to want to flag a group of packages together
to easily reload. No-one has mentioned metacello - so I’m assuming that is more
heavy-weight than what I should need right?
indeed
just save a slice in your local repo and it will work.

Hi - i was playing around with some changes in a few packages to see if I can
make a contribution to PharoLauncher.
I want to version my spikes, in case I trash my image - but I’m not yet ready
to propose anything to commit yet. While I can version each of the dirty
packages - how can I group them to load them in one go? I thought maybe I could
make a quick personal slice - store it in my personal file disk repository and
then load it again if something goes wrong or I want to revert. However it
seems that to create a slice I need a Fogbugz number - which seems more like
I’m ready to contribute? Can’t I make a personal slice? Or is this where I have
to use Metacello?

I believe you currently can't make a personal slice, but I've also thought it
would be useful.
Now here is a tip to explore the system. Bring up the halos on the "grab" but clicking three times
until you get to the PluggableButtonMorph, then click the "Debug" spanner icon and choose
"Inspect Morph" from the menu. Scroll through the instance variables until you see something that
looks like it indicates what happens when the button is pushed. Various mechanisms are used and I don't
remember them between times I do this. In this case it looks like 'actionSelector' is sued, but I also see
'actionBlock' and I think sometimes its something else. Put a halt in the called method, click the button
and trace through to see how it works. Modify to suit your needs.
