That's fine. I understand the reasons for that. But I like to be able to have my system run as I like it, so I appreciate the hint about changing it back to 'as was'. Now, another question. When did the ability to jump to the top or bottom of a list happen? I have only just noticed it so I'm assuming it happened with the latest update. In case you're not clear what I mean, it's when I scroll a long list, some icons appear enabling me to jump to the top or bottom of the list. Perhaps it was this question - [SailfishDevel] Scroll Indicator - from February 14 2014 that prompted it ;-) ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org

By improvement, I mean that there is now only one option and that is to shut it down rather than saving the state? I consider that to be a right PITA. The reason was to prevent accidental state savings. You can still save its state by opening the VirtualBox manager window and selecting the menu option (Close/Save state) for the running Emulator. It's a bit more difficult to choose and that should make it a more deliberate action. Just to be clear on this, you are referring to the option to save a single state with Ctrl-V rather than a permanent change to re-enable the option to save the state. I think so... how do these differ in operation? I think they do exactly the same thing? If you want to re-enable the three options in the shut down dialog, you can do this (including the quotes) on your host command line when the Emulator is not running: $ VBoxManage setextradata "SailfishOS Emulator" "GUI/RestrictedCloseActions" But I will keep shipping the Emulator with just the one option enabled also in the future releases.

Just to be clear on this, you are referring to the option to save a single state with Ctrl-V rather than a permanent change to re-enable the option to save the state. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
