Re: Changing the Favorite Activities
Hi All Just an update on this in case it is useful to others. Following Jerry's suggestion, I wrote a script (stored on USB) that installs a new version of the file: /usr/share/sugar/data/activities.defaults containing the set of activites that we want, and also removes (renames) the file: /home/olpc/.sugar/default/favorite_activities On rebooting, the favorite_activities file is recreated from the new activities.defaults and we get just the list of favorites in the Ring that we want. No other user interaction is required.
