another Favorites View proposal</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I don't want to coop the current thread about search, but I
have one concrete proposal (for which I volunteer to write a patch if we have
consensus) and one long-standing feature request that we should dust
off.<BR><BR>(1) I propose that whenever you go to the Home View, you end up in
the standard view. The only way to get to the list view would be by selecting
it from the standard view. I'd even go so far as to suggest that if you
navigate away, you would return to the standard view.<BR><BR>This simple
change would take some pressure off the need to distinguish the list view from
the Journal and make it really just for organizing favorites and nothing else,
which keeps it simple. (Even an experience Sugar user such as myself gets
confused sometimes when I end up in the list view... I repeatedly hit the home
view button and type F3 to no effect and think there must be something
broken.)<BR><BR>(2) Multiple groups beyond just the binary favorites/not
favorites selection. Lots of teacher (and kid) feedback about wanting multiple
home view collections. This is more invasive, but if we really think about
list view more narrowly, then adding this would be seemingly doable from the
UI perspective. (One home view could be *all*, meaning we could even eliminate
the need to launch activities from the list view).<BR><BR>-walter<BR><BR>--
