So far we've tailored our Squeak environment, used FileList to peruse files on a remote site, used SUnit, and extended FileList to make it easier to copy file names. We also learned how to capture our edits in Squeak into a change set that can be shared with other Squeak developers.
But we also saw how inefficient the copying of files between the remote and local systems remains. Let's see what can be done about making it easier to copy files from a remote system to our local one.
We will take a look back at the FileList getting used to access a remote file and explore what we would like to accomplish to get the file easily copied to the local workstation.
We should also use SUnit to write the test first, before we write any new code in FileList.
Since we know we will be spending some time browsing code in Squeak, now would be a good time to deal with fixing those colors used when browsing source code when "colorPrint" is enabled. Since you already know about change sets, we should now install some change sets adding new features we want. I've already written a solution to the colors problem and published the code to the WWW. We can use Squeak directly to fetch that code and install it. The package will ask you to confirm a prerequisite load automatically.
You can skip over this section if you do not want to make other cosmetic changes to your Squeak environment. Skip ahead to the next page of second FileList enhancement.
I wrote a tool that enhances Squeak by allowing you to customize the color pretty print parameters in code panes. Open up the Package Loader from the "open..." menu. Select the package named "Edit Text Colors" and install it.
The code we just installed adds a new editor to Squeak that allows us to modify the colors and text attributes of our source code when browsing. To open the new editor select it from the "appearance..." menu.
Using Squeak Map you may choose to install these additional enhancements.
