I just wanted to post my results/notes of a trawl test I've just done through all the available Browse library content (gee, one exciting Friday night). Using a B4 with 703, Q2D14 and set to Spanish/Peru (B4 keyboard is Spanish). The process was:
1) Downloading each .xol available from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Library_Grid 2) Checked the content of /home/olpc/Library for the actual files. 3) Reloaded a fresh view of the default index page to check it's content updated. 4) Drilled down to the level of the content to make sure it was accessible. 5) Removed each .xol using Journal and checked files were removed & local index re-updated Results/Notes (in order is severity): - Biology v5, bundle downloads to Journal, but does not install in / home/olpc/Library. This one is already included and viewable via the 703 core library, but rather odd that it does not appear in /home/olpc/ Library like (almost) all the rest of the .xol's. - UniWiki v1 bundle downloads to Journal, but does not install in / home/olpc/Library. It is not part of the 703 core so is currently inaccessible. - Wikislice Chemistry (Chemistry Collection), suggests it's available in Spanish on the wiki (among some other languages), but only an English download is available. This looks like a fantastic set of science reference content, why is it not in in the 703 core next to the biology entry (it is listed in the update.1 wiki section)? - Wikislice Physics (Physics Collection), also suggests it's available in Spanish on the wiki, but only an English available. Again, this looks like a fantastic set of science reference content that should be in the 703 build next to the biology entry (it is listed in the update. 1 wiki section). - The main index side bar is using a fixed width layout, there are several bundles whose names do not fit in the space and leak over into the main page (chemistry collection, physics collection, and a couple of others). All other available bundles on Library_Core wiki page downloaded and installed as expected. All were correctly removable using the Journal and updated the main index page. I was expecting to find the troublesomely named bundles that were breaking library indexing, but I found none of them. Makes me wonder where this other content is hiding – was it really old early content from last year? I guess my B4 may have shipped with some old country customised factory content in /home/olpc/Library. Something I noted with Sugar notifications in Browse was an unfortunate use of the tick/enter icon on the pop-up dialogue for "Download completed Open/OK". The problem is that if you actually try and press the enter key, expecting it to 'OK' the dialogue, Browse actually takes that as a selected link click which is usually still on the just clicked file download link. If this is more than a trivially small file, your XO will grind to a halt... You can't switch activities, invoke the frame, the cursor becomes erratic, almost nothing. If you just leave it alone for a while (maybe a few min your download was 10Mb or more), you'll get back normal control again (just hope you didn't press enter a couple of times or more). You'll now find 2 copies of the file in the Journal. Unfortunately with .xol bundles, if you delete one of the duplicates the associated Library files will be removed, 'resuming' the remaining copy in Journal has no effect (does not try to reinstall), so you have to delete that as well and start re-downloading from scratch. I've not submitted tickets for any of the above as I'm not sure how much of this is considered 'noise' that may hinder essential work. Shout if you think something above needs a ticket.
