Mikus, let's keep sugar-devel@ posted on Sugar UI threads. I know you're not subscribed, but we shouldn't cut-off all the Sugar developers from the discussion.
Besides, this thread became quite off-topic for de...@l.l.o and fedora-olpc-l...@. > If the user needs to choose case-by-case whether to launch new or > resume, if he wants to "resume" he can go to Journal (one click) and > launch from there (second click) -- whereas if he wants to launch new he > can go to Home, hover, and (one click) 'Start' in the existing palette. In 0.88, users can do alt-click to get a new activity instance, which is pretty fast, but somewhat hard to discover. > For those users who consistently "resume" all the time, provide a > setting within the control panel to override the directly_on_Home_icon > first-click behavior (perform "launch new" vs. "show menu of resumes"). > If "frame" behavior can be specified by user, so should "home" behavior. I think we should resist the temptation to add too many configuration knobs to the UI. We'd end up with a cluttered and unmaintainable control panel like KDE 3 and Gnome 1. Assuming that people resume the last activity more often than creating a new one, click is probably the best default. So far, users seem to be ok with it, though it took them some time to re-adapt on the 0.82 -> 0.84 transition. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
