Hi,
I would like to propose the following Feature to enhance the Sugar
learning environment:
"Add a frame device to control the display. The idea is to add their an
option to change the brightness and to take a screenshot. Both actions are
only available via the keyboard as of today." [1]
Regards,

Hey Simon,
I really like the idea of adding the brightness controls to the frame,
especially since that makes it consistent with the volume controls.
I'm less convinced about the value of adding the screenshot capability to
the frame device. Functionality-wise it is of course related to the display
but IMHO it still doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the frame device
features.
Also I think that today the screenshot functionality is mainly used as a
defacto replacement for the lacking print capabilities. Reading through
Walter's latest Sugar-Digest it seems like the move to GTK3 will enable
much better export / printing capabilities in Activities. As such I feel
that adding the screenshot capability to the frame now is more of a short
term fix which introduces an inconsistency whereas it should be possible to
have a significantly better overall solution soon (e.g. for Sugar 0.98?).
Cheers,
Christoph
Hmm, I disagree here. The screenshot functionality is an important tool,
used by teachers. I don't think it is only used as an replacement for
printing. Currently it is only accessible by a shortcut, not available
in the UI. That it's why the goal is to preset it here. I could not come
up with a better place to expose such a functionality, suggestions welcome.
Regards,
Simon
