[Sugar-devel] [Feature] Start an activity from another activity

[Sam P.]

Hi James,

Having activity dependencies is an interesting idea.  What use case would
it be useful in?

I was thinking about different use cases, eg; open this file I just
downloaded in an activity that deals with that mine, I exported my turtle
to python code so open it in pippy, I need to add a picture to my write doc
so make an empty file and open it with paint

In those use cases, I don't think that it would be 100% needed to declare a
dependency, as it is not essential to the app.

Thanks,
Sam
