Excellent. Thanks for reporting back.

I have an additional patch that solves a problem with users with
single quotes in their nicknames (the name you pick on your XO).

cheers,

Martin,

Good news. I had a chance to test it today and it looks like the
Moodle UI is picking up on the back ups now.

I'll be doing a couple of tests over the course of the next few days.
I'll be sure to let you know if we encounter problems.

Thanks you so much for quickly updating the moodle backup ui.

Best,

Hamilton

I would say that data is the part of the activity state that should be
treated as an opaque blob by everybody who cannot interpret the file
format specified in the mime-type property.

Metadata is a structure of pairs of keyed values, some keys are
standard and present in all entries, and can be interpreted by
everybody.

I don't think we can say that metadata or data are good or bad, both
are different aspects of the activity state and should be treated
equally because it's at the author's discretion to use one or another.

Regards,

Tomeu

Snarky but true comment: if/when that's the case, put the data in the
data part. For example, the new Browse does store valuable data
(unlike before) and does put it in the data. So the entries for
Browse.xo (of the 0.84 series) are displayed.

As it gets fixed, more data files will appear, and the XS will display
them. The presence of the data file is a good indication that the
problem is solved for that particular app ;-)

Sugar devs and UI designers (Eben?) -- is this a reasonable approach?
If not, why not?

cheers,

Martin,


Thanks, sorry I don't have a lot of activities to backup yet on my test
SoaS.

I'll give this a go today and report back the results here.

Best,

Hamilton

Consider the use case where the Journal is used as an log for user activity.
 Faithful reproduction of that record would be valuable (metadata is data).

The spurious generation of Journal entries is a problem that the Glucose
developers are working on (and might benefit by having some of those Journal
logs).

Thanks for your great contributions!  --Fred

Done - not tested much -- the zipfile you've given me didn't have much data.
http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/martin/moodle.git/commit/?h=mdl19-xs&id=5f522dbef1878284d15ae2ef0872c8dd5caa1953

So I need your help in reporting whether it works well for your SoaS
clients. I assume you're already using my moodle branch, so a mere git
pull will get you the right code... ;-)

Note: It won't list "metadata-only" entries. If there's no 'data'
file, it's not listed.

cheers,
