Hi Gary Thanks for this excellent testing!

Your diagram looked OK to me, but my comments will probably mangle it, so I'll try to make it clear what I'm commenting on... > build 8.2-763 Activity name > | Could start > . = success | | Could stop (all must work ctrl-q alt-esc, toolbar, > Frame) > - = N/A | | | Sound > x = fail | | | | Journal entry > ? = unknown | | | | | Useful resume > * = see note | | | | | | Picks-up Journal entry name change while active > | | | | | | | Names Frame palette to match the resumed title > | | | | | | | | License entry in activity.info > | | | | | | | | | Using bundle_id in activity.info > | | | | | | | | | | > | | | | | | | | | | > Browse-98 . . . . . x x . x The first x is for "Picks-up Journal entry name change while active" - almost every activity "failed" this, so it's likely to be a Sugar (activity API) bug, not an activity bug. I logged #8678. The "Names Frame palette to match the resumed title" is also probably a Sugar issue, but I'm not sure what you mean exactly. If I change the title of an activity and stop it, then resume it, the frame palette does show the new name for me, for Chat, which you marked as a failure. However if I change the name of the activity while it is running, the frame palette doesn't update to the new name *unless* I stop and resume. Is that what you meant? The switch from service_name to bundle_id isn't yet critical, but needs to be clearly and widely communicated. I'm getting together a list of such issues to write up and publicize. > Chat-47 . . - . . x x . . Some subtle sound for arival and > departure > would be very useful.

Sound was broken in pygame and SDL - #8307, should be fixed in 765.
