[Sugar-devel] Joke Machine question
I'm using Joke Machine 11 on an XO-1 os852 v/ 10.1.2 I want to share joke books via the server by uploading and downloading, and also via a flashdrive. Should this be possible? In the first case when I download the file that was uploaded from the Journal (a Joke Machine activity record containing a Joke book that I want to share), the file type is lost and there is no way to load it. In the second case, I try dragging and dropping the same into a flash drive but nothing is copied over. I may have missed some conceptual thing about how it is supposed to be used.

Small nitpick from me: use os.path.join instead of str methods to

Yes, I saw that too, but the existing code uses
for entry in dirs:
if entry.startswith('.'):
continue
full_path = dir_path + '/' + entry
and trying to change code unnecessarily is how defects are introduced,
as has already been seen.
I also don't like the idea of doing changes for portability unless they
can be tested on alternate platforms.
The same pattern occurs in extensions/cpsection/language/model.py,
src/jarabe/model/network.py, src/jarabe/model/shell.py, and
src/sugar/activity/activityservice.py if you'd like to change it.
Activities InfoSlicer, Read, and TamTam are also afflicted.
Ok, patches welcome :)
For the patch title I would prefer something like "Make scanning of
storage devices more robust OLPC #10140", is slightly more
descriptive.
Right.

Thanks.
Great, can you please push it? /me wants to do a new 0.84 release.

I've made it!

[Sugar-devel] Fwd: Problem developing app
I meant to copy my answer to Rodrigo to the list:
-- Forwarded message --
From: James Simmons
Date: Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 9:39 AM
Subject: Re: [Sugar-devel] Problem developing app
To: Rodrigo
Rodrigo,
I've looked at your code and I see a couple of things that are
questionable. First, your activity.info looks like this:
[Activity]
name = hMouse
service_name = org.teleton.ingenieria.hMouse
class = hMouse.hMouse
icon = activity-hMouse
activity_version = 1
license = GPLv3+
show_launcher = yes
Instead of class = you might try this:
exec = sugar-activity hMouse.hMouse
Second, you have these statements:
sys.path.insert(0, "lib/")
sys.path.insert(0, "/home/olpc/Activities/hMouse.activity/")
sys.path.insert(0, "/home/olpc/Activities/hMouse.activity/lib/")
These should not be necessary. Everything in your Activity should be
either part of the normal Python path or contained in the XO bundle.
You're also hard coding paths that may not always exist. If I test
your Activity using sugar-emulator, for instance, I won't have those
directories.
Another questionable thing is this in Procesador.py:
img = pygame.image.load("/home/olpc/Activities/hMouse.activity/help/camara.png")
The path to the image should be relative to the XO bundle location,
not an absolute path. Check out my "Demoiselle" activity here:
http://git.sugarlabs.org/myo-sugar-activities-examples/mainline/trees/master/Making_Activities_Using_PyGame
It looks like your Activity interacts with the hardware in unusual
ways. This may not be allowed by Rainbow, which is a kind of sandbox
used by Sugar.

Much more than the corner alternative.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Messages notification
The design looks great, and I like the fact that it attaches each notification to its real context when there is a visible one (i,e an activity, journal, battery device icon, etc). How would it work with notifications that are not related to an activity or with a visible context? Possible use cases (examples): * XS registration messages. * Automatic updater messages. * Sugar critical errors report. * Institutional broadcast messages. * Anything that simply requires displaying a message.
