Four of the Activities you will be testing use pretty much the same code<br>
for collaboration:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
sugar-read<br>
sugar-readetexts-activity<br>
</div>sugar-viewslides<br>
sugar-imageviewer<br>
<br>
Read Etexts and View Slides use code copied from Read. Image Viewer<br>
says in its comments that it uses code copied from Read Etexts. All<br>
four basically just let you make a copy of the document that is being<br>
shared. Read is different from the rest because (the last time I<br>
looked) it did not save a copy of the shared document in the Journal.<br>
The rest do.<br>
<br>
Another difference with Read is that it uses meta data in the PDF to<br>
give a title to the Journal entry that is sharing the document. Read<br>
Etexts and View Slides don't have any meta data in their documents, so<br>
documents received from others are given the titles "Read Etexts" or<br>
"View Slides". In the Neighborhood view the names of the documents<br>
offered for sharing are clearly visible, so you'd think there would be<br>
*some* way of getting that information from the sharing Activity so you<br>
could update the Title in the Journal but I haven't figured out how to<br>
do it.<br>
<br>
View Slides displays a crude count "n of n bytes total" when it<br>
downloads a file and this seems to work. When I put exactly the same<br>
code in Read Etexts it only displayed the final count, not the count in<br>
progress. Read Etexts uses multi threading when TTS is installed, and<br>
maybe that is related to the reason.<br>
<br>
Transfer of large files is *very* slow.<br>
<br>
Hope this information is of some use.<br>
