This sounds like the same problem I've been having with absolute resolved paths to local iceberg repos. Here is the script I use to fix them in a way that survives image moving and renaming. It should be easy to adapt for your needs. Obviously it would be better if Pharo didn't resolve the paths in these cases, but at least there is a workaround. fixIcebergRepoLocations "E.g. after an image is moved or renamed, its local Iceberg repos become broken because the locations are stored as static FileReferences instead of dynamic FileLocations following the image around. Limitation: assumes all images are stored in flat folders under root" | imageRoot repos | imageRoot := FileLocator home / 'Dynabook' / 'Working Images'. repos := IceLibgitRepository allSubInstances select: [ :e | e location isNotNil and: [ (FileLocator imageDirectory contains: e location) not and: [ imageRoot contains: e location ] ] ]. repos do: [ :e | | oldPath newPath fixedLocation | oldPath := e location relativeTo: imageRoot. newPath := RelativePath withAll: oldPath segments allButFirst. fixedLocation := FileLocator imageDirectory withPath: newPath. e location: fixedLocation ] ----- Cheers, Sean -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
