<div dir="ltr">Is it useful for maximum_instances to be different from 1? Otherwise I tend to think a single_instance boolean would make more sense and allow a better alert. </div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote"> On 5 November 2013 18:53, Walter Bender <<a href="mailto:walter.bender@gmail.com" target="_blank">walter.bender@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> I wrote up a page for a proposed enhancement to set limit to open activities and open instances [1]. Summary: At the request of OLPC AU (in an effort to reduce OOM freezes) this patch uses gconf to set a maximum number of open activities. An alert is shown if the user tries to launch more activities than the maximum asking them to close an activity before opening a new one. If maximum_number_of_open_activites is not set or == 0, then there is no maximum limit applied. Further, Some activities don't behave well if more than one instance is open (e.g., SL #4554). This patch sets a limit on the number open instances of an activity based on a new field in <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a>: maximum_instances. If and only if the maximum_instances field is present in <a href="http://activity.info" target="_blank">activity.info</a>, is it used to set the limit of open instances. thanks for your consideration. -walter [1] <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/LaunchLimits" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/LaunchLimits</a> -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs <a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">http://www.sugarlabs.org</a> _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">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> -- Daniel Narvaez </div>
