Part of that removal is an option to easily copy a Journal entry / make a duplicate of a Journal entry. While preparing a patch for that I came over a few cleanups which I would like to share with the design team first before finishing up the patch and sending for review. </blockquote><div> Thanks for diving into this. I think it will make a huge difference, </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> First I want to describe what the situation is now: [0] The copy option in the palette in the Journal list view will trigger a 'copy to clipboard'. [1] In the detail view of a Journal entry clicking on the button will do a 'copy to clipboard' and the secondary option in the palette will let you copy to a storage device if available. [2] The palette of an entry of a storage device lets you 'copy to clipboard'. [3] In the detail view of a storage device entry clicking on the button will do a 'copy to clipboard' and the secondary option in the palette will let you copy to the Journal. Following the design idea in <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Journal-04.jpeg" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Journal-04.jpeg</a> I think it would be great to introduce a copy-to option to make things clearer. [4] The copy option in the palette in the Journal list view will be called 'Copy to' and the secondary options will contain: 'Clipboard', 'Journal' and storage devices if available. </blockquote> <div> +1 </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> [5] In the detail view of a Journal entry the secondary option in the palette will let you copy to the Journal and to a storage device if available. The option will be renamed to 'Copy to'. Not part of the screenshot: I would add here as well the option for copying to the Clipboard (first) and when clicking on the button reveal the palette to show the options. </blockquote><div> +1 </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> [6] The copy option in the palette in the storage view will be called 'Copy to' and the secondary options will contain: 'Clipboard' and 'Journal'.

In the case of the Journal or the storage device, presumably the entire Journal entry, but also when copying to the clipboard? That is the current behavior, but I am not sure what it means to copy an activity itself to the clipboard as opposed to copying the activity data. Is there a common use-case? regards. -walter </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> Thanks, Simon [0] <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eerikos/copy/0_copy-now.png" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/copy/0_copy-now.png</a> [1] <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eerikos/copy/1_copy-now-journal.png" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/copy/1_copy-now-journal.png</a> [2] <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eerikos/copy/2_copy-now-usb.png" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/copy/2_copy-now-usb.png</a> [3] <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eerikos/copy/3_copy-now-usb-detail.png" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/copy/3_copy-now-usb-detail.png</a> [4] <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eerikos/copy/4_copy-to.png" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/copy/4_copy-to.png</a> [5] <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eerikos/copy/5_copy-to-detail.png" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/copy/5_copy-to-detail.png</a> [6] <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eerikos/copy/6_copy-to-usb.png" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/copy/6_copy-to-usb.png</a> [7] <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/%7Eerikos/copy/7_copy_to_usb_detail.png" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/copy/7_copy_to_usb_detail.png</a> _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </blockquote></div> -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs <a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">http://www.sugarlabs.org</a>
