Re: update.1 "breaking" wrapped activities?
That's the big on/off switch for all isolation. Sugar also independently decides to turn off isolation for a small number of activities listed in its source code.

Re: update.1 "breaking" wrapped activities?
Is this the reason that Bryan Berry in Nepal found that Tux Paint did not work, and is the instruction given here: http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php?title=Test_Config_Notes&action=edit§ion=29 still the correct way to disable isolation?

I assumed that what's behind this is the introduction of rainbow. [I'm not sure of the date of the transition to rainbow, but perhaps G1G1 participants might be exposed to it when installing Update.1] I myself have had to go into activityfactory.py and add the classes of several Activities (to those rainbow skips), in order to be able to launch these Activities from the Frame. The explanation I received when asking was that these Activities *stored* into locations to which the UID-renaming by rainbow denied access. Obviously, to be compatible with OLPC security, such Activities would need to be re-coded to write to approved locations. [I think "break all existing wrappers" is an exaggeration - but a number of these mis-behaving activities *are* "imported" software.] mikus p.s. It is amusing to observe that the XO will insert a "no name" circular icon in the active-Activity-circle in Main view, when the executing Activity starts a second task. Perhaps users who first encounter such a "no name" circle are thinking "something's broken". ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

update.1 "breaking" wrapped activities?
in a description of how non-sugar apps need some help to run properly under sugar, the current front page of OLPC News contains the following quote: "... there is some discussion that Update 1, a forthcoming upgrade to Sugar, will break all existing wrappers, and current Activities will need to be re-coded and re-wrapped." the only "breakage" that i've heard mentioned on this list is that of the activities moving -- i've seen nothing about the environment changing so as to require wrapper changes (and i've already commented to that effect at olpcnews). can someone confirm that i'm not wrong? paul (above quote from: http://www.olpcnews.com/software/applications/sugar_open_developer_software.html) =- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 39.0 degrees) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
