Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I was reading the Cuis Book in the last flight and trying some
stuff.<br>
<br>
I found this ugly situation where following chapter 7
procedure "going vector"<br>
and doing :<br>
----<br>
Feature require: 'VectorGraphics'<br>
----<br>
<br>
Freezes the World. I tried in Mac and Linux. Recently
downloaded from Git.<br>
Same behavior.<br>
<br>
I can't fix it myself, but I let you know there is a problem.<br>
<br>
I humbly recommend you not to put 'experimental' procedures in
the beginner book.<br>
Or to mark them in red and say well to prepare a separate
image before running<br>
those lines ... or the beginner will get into troubles ;) <br>
<br>
I see in another image i have 'VectorGraphics' already loaded,<br>
probably it loaded as a dependency when I installed
'StyledText'. <br>
So, i deduce the prolbem is on loading 'VectorGraphics' alone.<br>
<br>
bye<br>

Hi Nicola,<br>
<br>
Most likely the problem you found was because when you pull the
repo, you get the latest VectorGraphics.pck.st and a bunch of
numbered updates. Some of those updates might be needed for the
package to run properly, but they are not installed by default. So
things could break if updates are not manually loaded before
installing Vector Graphics. This is of course not good!<br>
<br>
Today I pushed several updates that:<br>
<br>
- Include new images. All updates up to now are pre loaded.<br>
- Actually add the update number as a prerequisite to
VectorGraphics.pck.st. If you try to load it without the required
updates to the base image, it won't load and will give a hopefully
useful error message. This will help in the future.<br>
<br>
We don't want people to find broken stuff like that. We try to be
careful to avoid it as much as possible, and to fix things quickly
when we break them. Thanks for reporting this. It really helps!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
