This sounds well thought out, but imagining the experience in my head makes me wonder a little. Two user perspectives: 1) Do I want to keep downloading or not? Continuing the activity is the implicit choice. 2) Do I want to keep using the activity or not? Continuing the download is the implicit choice. Since I clicked the [Stop] button, 2) feels more natural. Whether to stop the activity should be the primary choice, with the download's continuation being implicit, since stopping the activity was the initiating action. In other words making a decision, then being asked an orthogonal question (with an implicit effect on the decision I made), seems off. ....Side note: Since the Journal displays the progress bar as files are downloaded, wouldn't it be cool if Browse just handed the download off to the Journal? That would allow the download to continue even after Browse stops. It would also allow the download to be resumed if the machine is restarted, network connection lost, etc. Worthy Journal feature request? -Wade _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
