Hi Martin,
We've done exactly as you've said.

And I realise I forgot adding a footer for log out to moodle
Hi,
So I had spent almost 3 weeks entirely with Moodle,
and I have failed to be half as productive with Moodle
as I have with sugar.
I would relate the reasons to be:

2) I had no prior experience
Hi,
So as per Martin's suggestion. I'm making this mail.
I don't have a spare system at my disposal right now,

But I can't figure out how to access the moodle server

Other than that moodle is set up.

Tomeu suggested approach:
Which is an approach implementing the Printing Libraries provided
by the activity parents like Evince, Abiword and Mozilla.
*Evince has a list of functions in C which I have been looking up,
but sadly enough they don't come as libraries, so its hack and extract
oh also, i'm using this,
self._cancel.get_child().set_text ('Document:' + title + '\n' + status)

Hi,

Hi Gary,
Thanks for your interest in the project, I think your mockup design looks
like a better cake than mine. It doesn't needlessly complicate the
interface, and , the removal of the source printer seems like a better
design
as we already have the device mentioned up.
Plus, the all black theme
I hadn't done a checksum. But when mounting the image
through virtualbox, it works fine. But when I burn the
image, the disc wont even let me look at its contents
Its as good as a blank disc.

Yep, agreed, though for some reason if the user has a file other than that
specified format, and wants to print it badly (say a file which he just
transferred from his pendrive), in-activity printing would never work, and
even having a missing odf filter would be inviting a loophole. So my idea is
[21:52] bemasc iwikiwi: Read only handles pdf, and nothing else. You
still need all the conversion filters.
[21:54] bemasc (Read actually can handle a few things other than pdf, but
not jpg, png, odt, txt, html...)
[21:55] bemasc iwikiwi: now, if you want, you could write a Print

Lucian, that would be awesome. Maybe we can dev this as a combination. If we

Tomeu,
Your last argument was very strong.[00:10] tomeu iwikiwi: it's ok for gtk
print to depend on cups, the important part is that we don't depend on
filters being present so printing can happen
the overhead involved is high with cups-pdf... Is it difficult to even get
the default filters
hello,
Have you checked your system's /tmp/ folder? Sugar tends to rename them to
funny names, so your best bet is to go through all of the tar.gz s there, or
go to a site like tinypic.com and select that file for upload from the
datastore. Oh wait that would work only if tar.bz are displayed
Just checked the prefix of those files is also something like tmp[a-z] etc
