That's why I hide it. I also show how to hide it in my book "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" That is why I'd prefer that the Keep button be hidden by default. Hiding it a second time won't hurt anything, and if someone actually has a use for it they can show it. Just removing it breaks backward compatibility. I go to a fair amount of effort to make Activities that support any version of Sugar, including using the new toolbars when they are available. I don't want students to have to wonder if one of my Activities will work for them. I know that full backwards compatibility is not possible for every Activity, but if you do Python without components other than GTK it should still be possible.</div>

Simon and Rafael,<br>

My Activities don't have any use for the Keep button, so they hide it. As a<br>
result, if you just remove the Keep button they'll stop working. Maybe for<br>
backward compatibility keep the button but hide it by default?<br>

Just to be clear if we remove the keep button from an activity it wont open<br>

The use of the Keep button will be deprecated for a development cycle, only, see [1]. But I would still recommend you to remove the hide the keep button from your activity.<br>
