Well, currently our "seam" is an abyss you have to jump over. But people are arguing there is no problem (see #6958 "I don't understand what the issue is. The system already supports this.") Taking the learner out of context (say, clicking an URL) to a totally different, information-laden view (the Journal details page) where she has to remember to click in a specific spot (top right corner icon) is at best doing the Pavlovian training Bitfrost set out to not let happen. It can although completely wreck the train of thought. But a seam does not have to be disruptive. A better design for this might be to show one of our ubiquitous little black menu palette with the top entry being "open in <activity>". This palette would be shown by a trusted party (Sugar shell) at the position of the mouse pointer so requires explicit user interaction, but it would still feel in-context, it would not shift focus to a different screen location etc. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
