Thanks for the good analysis James! I don't think that deleting on startup is an optimal idea. It is counter-intuitive that the user must open every activity on their computer when they want to reclaim space. It is also bad in the case of infrequently used activities. I think that a multi-prong

G'day Sam, The pull request I've made will handle a preserved .sugar directory on upgrade by deleting the directories the next time an activity is started, as well as when an activity is closed or crashes. Implemented in the shell, or sugar-launch, or activity to activity start, on behalf of the

A few issues: * Browse already have a mechanism to remove the temporary downloaded files, we need to know what is wrong [1]. * Temporary directories are shared between instances, if we remove temporary directories at activity start or stop, we need check if there are other instances of the activity

Thanks, interesting. I've been using ESP8266 IoT devices, with OLPC XO laptops. Either bare modules (ESP-01), Sparkfun Thing (ESP-12) or Adafruit Huzzah (ESP-12). They do work connected to serial port or USB serial adapter. They do not work with mesh. They do not work with ad-hoc. They do wor
