Hi Thierry, hi Pharo Team, Thierry, thank you! I switched to Pharo5 a few days ago. I am not yet productive/online. I had a look at your code in a Pharo 3 image. It is the code after >>runGitCommand:in:, right?
Puh, I don't want to go so deep and implement that again for a small feature like my png previews.... So I am asking polite to the pharo developers team if there are plans to provide a stable solution for calling external programs as described. My production system will be a windows system, so I need this for windows, too. As far as I understand, the new OSSubprocess is (currently) only for unix. It is no problem for me to wait some time for this. But it would be nice to know what the plans are, to decide what to do (and not programming something which will be solved in future).
