Trial-3 Release Info

  • An XO that is acting as an MPP (mesh portal point) cannot participate in local mesh collaboration.
  • Save photos
    • Record has changed a lot, and as a result, old entries cannot be opened on the new build
    • Follow these steps to save photos; unfortunately, videos will be lost.
    1. Drag photos from record onto the clipboard.
    2. Scroll over the clipboard images, and select "add to journal"
  • Sharing an abiword document works well for text, but images don't share properly.


New Features:

Private Invitation:

  1. XO-1 starts an activity (such as abiword)
  2. From the neighborhood mesh view of XO-1, they find XO-2, who they want to share with.
  3. Hover over XO-2 and click on 'Invite'. This invites XO-2 to the current activity of XO-1
  4. From XO-2's taskbar tray, they will now see an icon of the shared activity in the colors of XO-1
  5. XO-2 clicks on this activity and it brings up the shared file.

Sharing a bookmark in Browse:

  1. Open the browser and go to a url of interest
  2. From the browse tab, click on the star in the upper right, next to the url window. This will create a bookmark
  3. Click on 'share with neighborhood'
  4. From another XO, click on the shared browse icon in the neighborhood mesh view
  5. You should get the same book mark after the browser starts up

Short Cut Keys:

  • CTL-u: View source from a webpage with Abiword*
  • CTL-n: From within Abiword, gives the full version of Abiword*

*not debugged/doesn't work with journal, so maybe we shouldn't tell people about it.
