So I tried to run Phobos on Pharo 6 and it is able to run fine with the old Json package. It only needed two simple patches. To convert Phobos to NeoJSON will require some extra effort. In next days I will put the code on the Git repository. Cheers, -- Pavel 2017-01-31 20:19 GMT+01:00 kmo : > I'

I'm afraid not. But I did start experimenting with Phobos and thought it was a very capable framework. Then I was put off a bit when it stopped being compatible with later versions of pharo. Ken HilaireFernandes wrote > Hi Ken, > Did you have former experience using Phobos for real desktop appli

I mean no offense to Esteban, I appreciate him well (he slept a couple of days at my place :) but GTK looks so odd on Mac and OSX desktop, then it is not that much well featured. There are richer alternative like wxWidget or Qt. Le 30/01/2017 à 16:45, Hilaire a écrit : > GTK binding? Thanks but no

I think Phobos is really good. It would be great to have Pharo 6 version. It's a pity about XULRunner being abandoned but all is not lost. There is a fork of Firefox that is committed to keeping XULRunner support - Pale Moon - https://www.palemoon.org/ Ken Pavel Krivanek-3 wrote > Hi Hilaire, >

Thanks for the udpate. GTK binding? Thanks but no thanks, it does not fit for pro desktop application. Hilaire Le 30/01/2017 à 16:34, Pavel Krivanek a écrit : > The XULRunner was stopped to be supported in 2015. It can still run now > but without security patches, support of the new OS versions

The XULRunner was stopped to be supported in 2015. It can still run now but without security patches, support of the new OS versions etc. Mozilla is constantly decreasing capabilities of Firefox hacking. It is pity because there is no comparable alternative. Esteban is slowly working on GTK bindin

Hi Pavel, I am in prospective mode exploring alternative for desktop application vs SAAS application (in the later, the cost to maintain may be too high for only one technical guy, me). As I saw in the Phobos demo the Print feature, I just did a quick hack to test print over a html document. So

Hi Hilaire, I will look at it. Are you interested to have Phobos for Pharo 6? The main problem of Phobos is the stopped support of XULRunner by Mozilla without substitute so it's not good idea to use it for long-term projects. Cheers, -- Pavel 2017-01-29 12:34 GMT+01:00 Hilaire : > Hi Pavel, >

Hi Pavel, Is there a way to ask a PhobosHTMLCanvas instance to print an html file. I have html files built from Mustache templates and I try to send it to the print dialog via Phobos. So far I send an entire locale html file content via #rawXML: message, but I got mix results, the style does not
