<br>I would really appreciate if you could bring you ideas to the design thread. :) Because the design of this feature seems to be changing there.<div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 2:36 PM, Bert Freudenberg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bert@freudenbergs.de" target="_blank">bert@freudenbergs.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I like the general idea very much. However, instead of a magic directory name, couldn't the <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a> file have a new entry giving the examples path?<br>
<br>
This could be encapsulated in a function home_activity.get_examples_path().<br>
<br>
The advantage of this would be that activities could specify a directory (relative to the bundle directory) that fits their structure better than having to put the examples into a fixed location in the bundle. In very special cases they could even give an absolute path, e.g. Etoys examples are in /usr/share/etoys/ExampleEtoys ...<br>
