Re: [sugar] collisions in free form layouts

2008-06-15 Thread Tomeu Vizoso
I have some ideas, but I'm not sure how big an advantage they are because the actual code in SpreadLayout is not resolving collisions. I will look at your demo now, but if someone involved in SpreadLayout/_Grid could explain why the implementation never got complete, that could save me quite some

I'm not familiar with Eben's algorithm, but I thought I would chime in that IMO the ideal algorithm for these kinds of layouts is what is called a relaxation algorithm. It's the basis of most physics engines like Box2D. You define a set of rules, called constraints, which define the order of the

[sugar] filename extensions not being shown by Journal

2008-06-15 Thread Mikus Grinbergs
A fellow-user suggested the following hack to differentiate in the Journal view between files 'foobar.txt' and 'foobar.pdf' (e.g., when those files were put onto a USB stick by a non-OLPC system): Rename 'foobar.txt' to 'foobar.txt.txt', and 'foobar.pdf' to 'foobar.pdf.pdf'. Then Journal (in
