Yes, intentional.

 Is there a reason why the field would be disabled?

Yes.

 Interested in Walter's new Portfolio activity.



 I download it and installed it via USB stick / Journal into an XO-1
running
 build 860/0.84.31/Q2E45



 I starred a few photos and paintings in the Journal and tried to start
 Portfolio. I see the startup screen for maybe 3 colour pulses then for a
 split second something starts to load but it goes off. Tried several
times.



 This activity will be useful for us, should I expect this to work on our

 Accidental searches lead to a blank Home screen

Two suggestions:

- combine two notions: sticky icons (always in the home circle view)
  and favorites.  For now, favorites are used as sticky icons... not
  really as favorites.

[Sugar-devel] Amazon Kindle page for Make Your Own Sugar Activities! manual

It looks like the Kindle page is set up:

http://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Sugar-Activities-ebook/dp/B0050VAHKW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8m=AG56TWVU5XWC2s=digital-textqid=1305554872sr=1-1

The book is still listed as Publishing on my Bookshelf, which means
I can't make changes to the page.  It also might mean that if you try
to get a free preview it won't be delivered right away.  By this
evening everything should be 100% ready.

A few of you have said kind things about this manual in the past and I
think it would help if some of you put reviews of the book on this
page.  Even if you were disappointed in the book I'd appreciate a
review.  Bad reviews would be better than no reviews.  I'm not hoping
to make money with this.  In fact, if you get the free preview you'll
read about where you can download the whole book for free right in the
Introduction.  I'm listing the publisher as FLOSS Manuals.  If other
FM authors put their books on the Kindle Store in a similar way we
might get some synergy and make FLOSS Manuals more known.  Lulu did a
beautiful job printing this book, and every member of my family has a
copy on his coffee table, but I think the Kindle store is a LOT more
visible to the general public.

 Well, they will have a $HOME/Documents directory, while the non-GNOME

Sounds fair (if perhaps a little of a secret easter egg). Deployments can 
either make sure their builds include the directory/folder, or the more

 I think it has more general utility in that there will always be
 non-Sugarized activities. I think this is especially important for
 teachers.

 I think have one place for easy data exchange is adequate. Documents
 seems a logic place.

 Yes. tch is working on that.

Cool.

 General comment: Certainly would want to make some small changes to the icon

 I am not opposed to introducing the concept of folders as a logical

Here's a shot at xml clean-up and a slight design simplification on your

Re: [Sugar-devel] Record v90 (was: v89)

2011-05-16 Thread Art Hunkins

Testing audio-only Record-90:

Strange results. I tested with the latest 0.92 nightly version 
(Fedora-15-Nightly-20110515.07-i686-Live-soas.iso) that Tom Gilliard found 
to boot. (I was able to successfully create it with Live USB Creator.)


I recorded on two systems, one with camera, one without. Record worked as 
might be expected except for two crucial facts: 1) playback was a silent 
file, with only an opening and closing click/short noise-burst; 2) the files 
are generated in ogg SPEEX format, not ogg vorbis (hence they are of no use 
to me). With the camera system, during audio recording color video was 
animated (unlike below).


One other test: Record-90 on an XO-1.5 upgraded to 0.84. Things generally 
proceded as expected, but with a frozen video picture during recording. 
Unexpectedly, the resultant audio was ogg VORBIS, but with intermittent 
stuttering or pauses.


I verified all audio results by playing them with Audacity on my desktop PC; 
same results as described above.


Strange indeed . . .

Should be fixed with v90. The problem is that audio recording was
broken without a camera, and I guess you don't have a camera on your
setup.

In v90 this works, its usable but there are some UI oddities to be
resolved at a later date.

[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Export icon

2011-05-16 Thread Gonzalo Odiard
There are a pending ticket [1] about changing the icon used to Export
functionality in the Write activity
to show a arrow going out, to make it different of the Keep icon.
I am not sure about this, but I think we need a common approach in the
different activities.
Any idea?

As a common sense  approach is that all export icons should have the
opposite direction of keep.  In my mind this is less confusing.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Record v90 (was: v89)

2011-05-16 Thread Art Hunkins
I made an error is reporting on Record v90 (and the 0.92 nightly version 
cited below).


With an appropriate mike, at least one of my systems (the one with camera - 
a Go2PC) records - and without stutter or silent interruptions. The 
remaining problem is that the output is ogg SPEEX. Hopefully this can be 
corrected.

 Hi guys, I just finished a little job like python/sugar programmer in a
 local OLPC
 deployment organization in Nicaragua. Now I have free time, and want to
 collaborate
 with this project.

 Also I just approved as package maintainer in Fedora, I would like to
 contribute in this
 way.

 Where could I start? Any tool or activity that needs to be a RPM?

Re: [Sugar-devel] [OLPC-AU] Search in Favourites View is disabled

Yes, and that's what the Journal now does.  The list view does not.

 - combine two notions: sticky icons (always in the home circle view)
   and favorites.  For now, favorites are used as sticky icons... not
   really as favorites.

I do find it odd that to reach non-favourite activities the learner
needs to use the list view button or the Ctrl+2 accelerator for the list
view ... but on the other hand, I can see the use-case in teaching
context; start the year with few favourites, and include the favouring
as part of the lesson plan.

I can't remember for sure, but perhaps the Browse home page link
Activities in older versions pointed at wiki.laptop.org.  It now
points at activities.sugarlabs.org ... and shows a Browse Activities
page, 

... which at first might be understood as activities for the browse
activity ... ;-)
