The biggest downside is that some activities are very slow to launch... especially on the XO. -walter <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 7:30 PM, Bastien <<a href="mailto:bastienguerry@googlemail.com">bastienguerry@googlemail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi all, Greg Smith <<a href="mailto:gregsmithpm@gmail.com">gregsmithpm@gmail.com</a>> writes: > I forgot that switching to a new activity puts a copy of the old one > on the Journal (20+ e-mails on that subject alone last year!). This comment and Daniel's ones about the Keep button just make me wonder why Sugar should allow several activities to be open at the same time. Any strong case where this can be relevant? Actually I'm not suggesting to ditch "switching" itself, I just realized that switching could be "quit-and-fetch-another-activity-from-journal." Then it would make sense to have another instance of the activity stored in the journal when "switching" to an activity. > FYI my philosophy is that the user is never "wrong". I have the same. And I've seen many instances with the XO where I had to explain why children "shouldn't" launch more than 3 or 4 activities. Hence this proposal. Perhaps you considered this idea before - in that case I'm interested in reading thru the discussion.
