Continuing on the tradition of "Keep confusion, yet again" thread http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-April/023440.html
I was yesterday in a conf call with the PerĂº team, who had been working with teachers and were reporting a "keep" bug on F11/S0.84 images. What was very clear was that both technical team and teachers were confused about the keep button; and they were seeing a bug that increased their confusion. Steps to repro (as reported by PerĂº): 0 - Imagine you are new to Sugar, and you expect "Keep" to mean Save 1 - Open a new document in Write.xo -- write something in it 2 - You are "going to save it" now, so quickly you... 2.1 - Change the name from "Write Activity" to something meaningful... 2.2 - Hit the 'Keep' button 3 - WTH!? The name reverted back to "Write Activity" 4 - WTH!? Looking at the Journal, now there are (a) 2 documents by the name "Write Activity" and (b) none with your meaningful name So here we have two separate bugs: B1 - That we have a "Keep" button, labelled "Keep", that actually creates a new document but retains the same document name. B2 - What you can see between steps #2.1 and #2.2 -- if you wait a few seconds between those steps, step #4 will show 2 documents with the new name instead of 2 documents with the "old" name. The clearest fix for B2 is to fix B1 in the first place... count this email as a vote for cjb's patch here: http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-April/023444.html It probably needs to be complemented by an option in the Journal to add a "duplicate this document", and Home View changes to make it clearer/easier to open a new activity without reopening the last document. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
