I'm running Joyride 1825 now on my G1G1. The principal difference I've noted is in my use of the Home view - now that the currently running activities are depicted in the Frame, I no longer need to press F3 when I want to return to a running Activity by clicking on its icon. There is a "learning curve" involved with the revised Home view (F3). It took me a while to realize that NOTHING appears in the "circle view of launchable Activities" until I have gone into the "list" view and marked the star on each desired Activity. And then it took a while more to realize that if I clicked within the Home view (as opposed to on the Frame) on the icon of an already-running Activity, a NEW INSTANCE of that Activity would be launched. [The small icon (in the graphic F3) for "most recent Activity" is the only icon within the Home view that provides a 'Resume' option.] In the "list" view of available Activities, I can't press PgUp PgDn to scroll - to view the whole list, I have to laboriously click (or drag) the scrollbar. Also, in that list I can only click on the icon to launch that Activity -- it would require less "positioning" if I were able to select a whole line and click anywhere within it. [I dual-boot between Joyride and Update.1. It amuses me that the "list of launchable Activities" includes both those installed by Joyride (in /usr/share) and those I manually installed for Update.1 (in /home/olpc). If the same Activity is installed both places, seems like I get to choose which version to launch.] mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
