We already readjust the network neighborhood layout on the fly when we switch view. It's funny to see the access points slide around :-) So, +1 for lazy updates, as long as NM keeps doing its background scanning even when it's not being queried by the client. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

It's funny to see the access points slide around :-) Haven't bothered to keep track of the appearance/disappearance of XO and AP icons in Neighborhood View - it's hard to figure out whether their presence on screen is determined by View updating or by radio reception. But something that needs attention is the handling of "invitation icons" in Neighborhood view. I would like such an icon to mean "there exists RIGHT NOW someone else with whom I can collaborate". Instead, these icons seem to persist long after all invitors/invitees are gone.

Nice observation. I'm afraid I seem to rarely use invitations when testing, though I do test Journal file transfers a reasonable amount — which falls into a similar situation. So is this as 'simple' as removing the notification when the activity id is no longer being shared? Or would you like the UI to still indicate that you had missed the event/s? --Gary > Thanks, mikus > ___ > Sugar-devel mailing list > Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

I imagine if someone clicks on an invitation, sees his Activity being launched, but then fails to make a connection -- that could well be more frustrating than never seeing evidence of the event/s having happened. mikus ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
