I don't see the point of Terminal's journal entries, either.
With tabs, the last page of text, and dir location being saved, I find it extremely useful for development. I only have a couple of Terminal Journal entries, one my default (usually just in one of the activities directories I'm currently working/testing on), and another with a bunch of tabs in various deep sugar directory paths useful for poking about and tweaking Sugar innards. Saves a heap of cd'ing about and trying to remember where some darn Sugar resource buried. >> (i understand the desire for restoring scrollback -- that's useful >> history). > > Perhaps.

I would find some scrollback handy, but buffer history state saving would be a killer feature for me at least ;-) Regards, -Gary _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
