<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>This ticket has some important discussion that was proposed for airing on the mailing list.</div><a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2074">http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2074</a><div>
<br></div><div>There are patches under review that would delete learner data, perhaps unwittingly.</div><div><br></div><div>An Activity bundle is deleted from the Home list view bundle pallet by invoking the 'Erase' menu action.</div>
<div><br></div><div>A 'Confirm erase' alert dialog appears that asks if you want to permanently erase the Activity (bundle). It provides a negative 'Keep' and positive 'Erase' button.</div><div><br>
</div><div>For the proposed patch, to prevent the unwitting loss of Activity profile data or other content that may be stored in the Activity directory, an option checkbox should be added, such as, (check) erase all associated data, which could default to yes (checked).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Without this, Learners may unexpectedly delete content that they downloaded at some expense, or be forced to reset profile preferences.</div><div><br></div><div>If there isn't time to implement this data protection feature for the upcoming Dextrose release, we should not forget to provide this feature for all future learners (who may not have the same storage and usability constraints that prompted this patch).</div>
