[Sugar-devel] heads up re proposed View Source changes

2011-06-06 Thread Walter Bender
Please see:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Design_Team/Proposals/Toolbars/View-Source_Enhancements

There are a series of patches I sent today to sugar-devel you could apply if
you are interested in trying it.

My outstanding questions (above and beyond the ones you may have):

* The graphical overlay I use for indicating that an activity is a copy is
not as clear as I'd like;
* I don't include a mechanism for copying Sugar source since I am not sure
how best to deal with error recovery (I could copy site_packages to ~ and
set the Python sys.path to look in ~ before looking in /usr/lib/python, but
if the user makes a mess of their Sugar environment, how should they
recover? In the case of Activities, they have the original and the copy.)
* I didn't include /usr/share/sugar in the Sugar view source but should
probably include at least some of the subdirectories there.

regards.

-walter

Hi Walter--it may be best to discuss this during an IRC session since
I'm having difficulty understanding the functionality... :) Maybe we
could schedule a review for this Sunday?

Sure. I will be tied up in the AM Sunday -- doing a charity bike ride, but
will try to get on line as soon as I can.
