[Sugar-devel] [PATCH] Add backup capability to Journal (using JEBs)

[Sascha Silbe]

Excerpts from Sascha Silbe's message of Sun Jul 04 21:12:10 +0000 2010:

> A new menu item in the Journals volume toolbar enables users to start a
> backup to a specific volume. Progress will be presented in a separate window;
> the entire system (including the Journal) remains accessible and responsive.

A few screen shots: [1-4]

The backup screen could be a bit prettier; help from designers is welcome
(the meeting today didn't happen apparently).

Having the same icon for both the regular Journal view and the backup screen
is an artefact of how the Shell works. We could hack it to show a different
icon instead (it already contains special code to assign the Journal icon).

In the long run we should try to move most Shell functionality into
metacity (shouldn't be too hard as the Shell basically is a rather limited
window manager).
