Recreate image should keep some local files #578

Closed hogoww closed 1 year ago

hogoww commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug Recreate image removes everything in pharo-local

Expected behavior Pharo-local should be preserved to some extent. I'm thinking particularly the playground cache & the iceberg repository

Expected development cost small. I just need feedback before I do it myself.

Hi,

The behaviour is not a bug since it was thought to do what is describe: recreate = create a new image from the same template + the same name, discarding all other files but the image metadata. I would not change it to keep some files but it could be another action if really needed

hogoww commented 2 years ago

That makes sense. The usecase was when during a sprint I had to recreate the image. over and over, and re clone the repository every time. And loosing the cached-playgrounds Maybe another action would be better. But to me recreate the image could also mean recreate only the image, and keep the rest (epicea, iceberg, play cache ect)
