Hi,
at the EduJam we discussed the need to remove the 'Keep'/'Keep as'
button from the activity toolbar. Part of that removal is an option to
easily copy a Journal entry / make a duplicate of a Journal entry. While
preparing a patch for that I came over a few cleanups which I would like
to share with the design team first before finishing up the patch and
sending for review.
First I want to describe what the situation is now:
[0] The copy option in the palette in the Journal list view will trigger
a 'copy to clipboard'.
[1] In the detail view of a Journal entry clicking on the button will do
a 'copy to clipboard' and the secondary option in the palette will let
you copy to a storage device if available.
[2] The palette of an entry of a storage device lets you 'copy to
clipboard'.
[3] In the detail view of a storage device entry clicking on the button
will do a 'copy to clipboard' and the secondary option in the palette
will let you copy to the Journal.
Following the design idea in
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Journal-04.jpeg I think it would be
great to introduce a copy-to option to make things clearer.
[4] The copy option in the palette in the Journal list view will be
called 'Copy to' and the secondary options will contain: 'Clipboard',
'Journal' and storage devices if available.
[5] In the detail view of a Journal entry the secondary option in the
palette will let you copy to the Journal and to a storage device if
available. The option will be renamed to 'Copy to'. Not part of the
screenshot: I would add here as well the option for copying to the
Clipboard (first) and when clicking on the button reveal the palette to
show the options.
[6] The copy option in the palette in the storage view will be called
'Copy to' and the secondary options will contain: 'Clipboard' and
'Journal'. Not part of the screenshot: I guess we could add here as well
the option of making a copy of the item and save it to the storage
device(s) (would be consistent with the option in the Journal list view).
[7] In the detail view of a the storage device entry the secondary
option in the palette will let you copy to the Journal. The option will
be renamed to 'Copy to'. Not part of the screenshot: I would add here as
well the option for copying to the Clipboard (first) and when clicking
on the button reveal the palette to show the options. I guess we could
add here as well the option of making a copy of the item and save it to
the storage device(s) (would be consistent with the option in the
Journal detail view).
Let me know if this makes sense, other ideas.
Thanks,
Simon
