For Wikibrowse under Sugar 0.82, we asked the activity registry where
Browse was installed and added that path, but in 0.84 that registry
was removed without a replacement API being offered, so the only way I
could see to get it working was the ugly XO-specific thing. Removing
APIs that are in use without fixing up activities that use them is not
very cool. :/

Heh once more, maybe I was too short in my respond, but the idea is that new journal is too big to push it to 0.88(keeping in mind current freeze) and that reviewers can't spend so many time to this new code. The second point I had in mind is that I like idea of having not only glucose for things like Journal i.e. it could be cool to have several implementations in activity like style. -- Aleksey ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Yes, that was curious. Has nobody noticed it not working on SoaS or
anything else?
> In any case it does *not* start Browse as a separate activity.
Correct, it starts Browse within the Wikipedia activity, using the
Browse activity source ... but a user would not be able to tell the
difference easily.
I've just tested; one can open Wikipedia activity, type google.com into
the location text field, and then start a Browse activity from the
activity ring ... result, two active web browsers. A feature! ;-)

Hey Aleksey, I have not read all of the code yet, so you are better aware of the possibilities to land it or not. From my experience from the field I think it would be a great improvement (as well since the object chooser has the thumbs view functionality too). Not sure how a separate activity would work and neither how Saccharin can improve that. Let's discuss it tomorrow.

In any case it does *not* start Browse as a separate activity.

You should configure fontconfig to only show *one* "Sans" font which
includes the relevant parts of all these other script-specific fonts
for the appropriate unicode ranges. Fonts which map script-specific
differences which do not have a roman-script equivalent should either
be given names which make this clear (made up example: "Sans (North
Korea)", "Sans (South Korea)") and/or omitted from deployments
targeted at roman-script language groups, with a fontconfig which
directs the use of an appropriate alias font ("Sans", which has
compromise glyphs for Korean, listed as an alias for both "Sans (North
Korea)" and "Sans (South Korea)").

[Sugar-devel] Copy from paint broken with Rainbow
Hi,
There is a Sugar-0.82 regression in that you can't copy a selection
from paint to the clipboard (using Paint's copy button). Reproduced on
OLPC OS 8.2 with Paint-23.
Disabling Rainbow solves the issue.
At the point of failure, a broken icon is created in Sugar's clipboard
tray and this appears in shell.log

How to start the Browse activity from my own activity?
My Kandid activity can dump internal states as a HTML files. For

#Start up a new instance of the Web activity.
result = webbrowser.open(file_path)
ka_debug.info('webbrowser.open: [%s] %s' % (file_path, str(result)))

Some improvements for this Feature are pending. *** Enhanced color selector The enhanced color selector has seen some design iterations over the last two weeks. A decision needs to be made which design is picked and the code needs to be reviewed. We have to work together closely now to land this. *** Write to journal anytime No patch has been made to try the behavior to display the Journal when closing for the first time. This looks rather unlikely to land. *** Font configuration We have a design, but no patch for the Control Panel section, yet. *** Thumbs View in Journal We have some code. It has to be reviewed intensely though as it is quite a big refactoring and is based on a new widget (shell scope). Would be nice to land it though. *** Activity version No patch yet. There was agreement on the format though. Unlikely to make it. We will not delay the Feature Freeze and stick to the schedule. If your Feature did not land yet, you can ask for an exception [3]. To request an exception send mail to sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org, referencing the patches (ticket) you would like to land. It will have to be granted by two members of the release team (Tomeu and Simon), on the base of community feedback. We will delay the tarballs due to be able to focus on reviews.
