My observation from running Joyride 2650 on an XO-1: With 'Resume by default' checked in the "Favorite view" dropdown in Home View, those activity_icons for which a Journal entry now exists are colored. I __naively__ thought that if I clicked on a "colored" icon, the *existing* session for that activity would be resumed.
But when in Home View I moved the cursor to the (colored) icon for Terminal and left-clicked, a *second* Terminal session was launched. Apparently, to be sure of what one is doing with a colored icon in Home View, one needs to right-click on that icon, and wait for its palette to be displayed. Then, to 'Resume' a session, right-click on an entry in the palette for which an object name is listed. Or, to 'start' a new session, click on the palette entry that lists the plain activity name (or click on the 'Start' entry near the bottom of the palette). I ought to be able to explain all this to a "Sugar" user (including when there are "special cases" and when there are not). But much simpler to just tell him to forget about 'Resume by default'. mikus p.s. Suggestion: when clicking on an icon in Home View favorites will not result in 'returning control' to an already-launched Activity, *don't* color that icon. _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
