Hi,<br>
<br>
I would like to propose the following Feature to enhance the Sugar<br>
learning environment:<br>
<br>
"Add a frame device to control the display. The idea is to add their an<br>
option to change the brightness and to take a screenshot. Both actions are<br>
only available via the keyboard as of today." [1]<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

Hey Simon,<br>
<br>
I really like the idea of adding the brightness controls to the frame,<br>
especially since that makes it consistent with the volume controls.<br>
<br>
I'm less convinced about the value of adding the screenshot capability to<br>
the frame device. Functionality-wise it is of course related to the display<br>
but IMHO it still doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the frame device<br>
features.<br>
<br>
Also I think that today the screenshot functionality is mainly used as a<br>
defacto replacement for the lacking print capabilities. Reading through<br>
Walter's latest Sugar-Digest it seems like the move to GTK3 will enable<br>
much better export / printing capabilities in Activities. As such I feel<br>
that adding the screenshot capability to the frame now is more of a short<br>
term fix which introduces an inconsistency whereas it should be possible to<br>
have a significantly better overall solution soon (e.g. for Sugar 0.98?).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Christoph<br>

Hmm, I disagree here. The screenshot functionality is an important tool, used by teachers. I don't think it is only used as an replacement for printing.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Which other uses have you seen?</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Currently it is only accessible by a shortcut, not available in the UI. That it's why the goal is to preset it here. I could not come up with a better place to expose such a functionality, suggestions welcome.<br>
