Laptop Storage

We have two alternatives here: a more traditional file and directory model and the goal system, the journal.

File model

• Save images from a web page, using a context menu, activated by the right mouse button.
• Insert images in the write activity using a file picker.

There are some features that we will not be able to implement using this model:

• Renaming of files
• Deletion of files
• Copy of text snippets from the web to the write activity

Journal model

Clipboard

• When dragging with the frame hidden you need to move the mouse a bit to be able to paste. Fix this.
• Make drag of images from mozilla work.
• Make drag of images to abi work.
• Preview images in the rollover.
• Briefly pop in and out the frame when a download is initiated or a copy or cut happens.
• Mark the current selected clipboard object and allow to change it by clicking on it.
• Copy new files to ~/Journal and name it from its title.

Journal activity

• Entries renaming.
• Startup the journal when clicking on the icon in the donut.

Write activity

• Autosave also by a timeout (now it saves on focus-out and on close).
• Undo and Redo.
• Save files to /tmp.

Shell

• Let activities rename their journal entry title by an entry in the activity rollover

Reading

• Open doc and odf files from the web browser in the write activity
• Make pdf autopen in xbook
• Language support splotchy, including Urdu (884)
• new browser windows (Bug 515) and popups (899, 878, 542) confuse gecko
• memory (860)
• gmail gives warnings about scripts executing because the machine is so slow. Need to increase that timeout.

Open questions

• What is the use case of an open button in xbook?
• Should we really support rotation for Trial1?

Bugs that might be fixed already

• DPI related (Bug 889)

Bugs that maybe we don't need to fix

• configuration directory needs stable name (Bug 847)
• mozilla cache (29)
