Thanks James and Sam for your replies.<br>
<br>
The references to Rainbow Security model are a bit confusing. The
Rainbow model was dropped by the second G1G1 as I recollect. As far
as I can tell, Browse launches child processes (pdfviewer). These
typically are represented in the frame by a grey circle.<br>
<br>
I apologize on the argparse issue, I am still with 13.2. I was
confused by the documentation:
<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Start_activity_from_another_activity" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Start_activity_from_another_activity</a><br>
<br>
"An activity can start other activity by:
<ul>
<li> knowing the activity ID - starts that specific activity"</li>
</ul>
<p>I assume that is a typo and bundle_id is meant.<br>
</p>
By having sugar-launch pass the -u (uri) and -o (object_id) options,
it is possible now (and possibly since 0.82) to launch an activity
by activity bundle_id either with a Journal object or a file from
the Documents directory (visible in Journal) or a USB key (also
visible in Journal). I have been using the -o and -u options in
sugar-launch for at least five years. This was discussed when this
feature was first proposed. <br>
<br>
In effect, the api added to 106 is simply an alternate way to
perform existing functions.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
