(moving to devel-list) Yes indeed, but we still have no obvious technical solution for this in Sugar.
Adding a pre-made project to the Journal might work, but currently it would be resumed regularly and modified on stopping. It would need to be marked as a template so that when keeping it, a copy is saved by default. However, finding this template in the Journal would be hard. Making it into a separate activity bundle seems somewhat pretentious to me, it would just be Etoys under a different name, right? And it would suffer from the same resume-by-default problem like Etoys, in that the Sugar UI makes it not easy enough to launch a fresh instance. Ideas welcome. - Bert - On 02.07.2009, at 14:51, Walter Bender wrote: > I still wish there was a > launch-this-project-and-we'll-have-taken-care-of-steps-1–5-below-for- > you > Etoys bundle kicking around that we could just ship with the Journal. > > -walter > > On Thu, Jul 2, 2009 at 6:31 AM, Bert > Freudenberg<b...@freudenbergs.de> wrote: >> Since this does not seem to be obvious: It's really simple to create >> nice presentations in Etoys, there is not even scripting involved: >> >> 0.
