Until now we have installed applications (projects) inside the Hoster, to be accessed by any user, using the Dock. Imagine, by example that we have a project whose name is "Scroll" having only a ScrollingText.

The Navigator is usually like an Web Browser, used by an end user to access islands having applications (projects).

But it can be customized, at some company, by the IT people, to have applications to be used privately only by one user. How to do this?

In the Class Navigator World, create a new method:

makeProjectLink: sp
	| win project1 |
	project1 := self makeMorphic: (MessageSend
		receiver: MorphicWorldHost
		selector: #makeProjectLink:extent:from:
		argument: 'Scroll')
			extent: 1024@768.

	win := TWindow new.
	win translationX: 8 y: 0.0 z: -20.0.
	win contents: project1.
	win closeContents.
	sp addChild: win.
	^ win.

In the method: initialize add the line:

self makeProjectLink: space.

Remember to do a "big save".

Look the project inside the Navigator. We can move and resize the window inside the island.

TIP: You can receive a project from another person like a .PR file. You need to:

• 1 - Put it at the "Squeaklets" folder
• 2 - Open Croquet and select World | load project from file
• 3 - Do a save project on file
• Do a "big save"

The project is available to be loaded by the Dock or by code.

TIP2: Remember that the Navigator can load new meshes (.ASE files) using the Tools menu

A visitor can came to your island. If he has not a copy of the "private" project at his machine he will see its 2D window empty .
