Hi Show source functions are greatly improved in later Sugars, there is a dropdown menu in the frame which can show (a) the encoding of the 'document' (b) the source of the Activity (c) Sugar source
What is its effect on users? Only a very small percentage of users will use this beyond inspecting a 'document' (eg web page code), but these few users may have a disproportionate effect on their nation's future, we don't really know. Where time is critical, binaries are used by some Activities. Are you sure that making everything a binary would significantly increase speed, the Python encoded Activities call Fedora/Gnome functions which may take up most of the time? The Activities that do use binaries are generally broken on XO-1.75 and XO-4 because they use an ARM processor Tony > > what is the status of users developing Python stuff on XOs? > > is it totally given up and defunct, or someone is trying to keep that > alive? > > for example, the "source" hand button, right of the alt gr key? > > If it is defunct, can we use binaries finally to optimize and speed up > operation, instead of an interpreted language, notoriously less > efficient of the very limited resources? > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > > _____________________________________________________ > This mail has been virus scanned by Australia On Line > see http://www.australiaonline.net.au/mailscanning _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
