I am not sure Browse should differ to other activities in that case. It presents you with the latest Browse-session, which is the last visited page. Firefox does the same btw. Looks like a no to my second question :) Maybe you are looking for a simple way to go back to a preferred page (the start page for example). And maybe the answer to your question is more a home button - or global bookmarks that can be accessed through the interface? At the moment there are only session bookmarks and the auto completion functionality. A home button/icon would be beneficial to me. I am interested in others' views. I think with global bookmarks we would solve two requests. An easy way to go back to a default page and the ability to store cross session bookmarks. From memory, FF also tends to ask whether you would like to start from scratch or open the last open tab. Yeah, so as Gary pointed out - we should be consistent in the activity behavior. Another trend in browsers is to present 9 or so thumbnails from the most commonly used pages. I think that is what google toolbar does by default when you open a new tab - I am not a fan of this for privacy reasons on a multi user machine, but that is another story ;D Regards, Simon ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

I'm not sure I'd like different activities in the ring able to override the resume / start new behaviour. Could be quite unexpected and confusing to learn the behaviour (you'd have to remember which activities did what). One trick you might not have found yet is that holding down the Alt key. It will toggle the home favourites view resume / start new behaviour, so you can hold Alt and click on Browse to get a new fresh activity instance at the home page. FWIW: in early versions of the new home feature (in 0.83 I think), there was a check box in the Favourites view menu that allowed you to pick one or the other resume / start new behaviours. Hope that helps a little :-) Regards, --Gary ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
