Build 472 notes

Build 466 notes

  • Search feature in Journal is broken, and you cannot Resume from Journal.
  • Journal is not on the taskbar, but unlike 465 it opens properly upon boot now. However, since I can still quit out of it with alt-C, there should either be a) a way to open it from the taskbar or b) no way to quit out of it.

==> Quit out of it with ctl c.

  • Opening Paint completely breaks the activity donut (this was a problem in 465 too). Once Paint is opened, icons no longer appear on the donut, and clicking the spaces on the donut will not switch you to that activity. All the icons for activities you open appear clipped on the left side of the screen. Also, Paint itself doesn't open properly either.
  • Frequently, activities will open when I mouse over them on the taskbar but don't click them. This was an issue in 465 and it seems even more prevalent now.
  • Mouse speed is still much higher than before (is this intentional?)
  • Frame Toggle key does not work.
  • Rotate screen key does not do anything.
  • Cannot power down by pressing the power button - you must either use the option from the XO icon at the center of the donut, or hold down the power button.
  • Read now has an icon for opening files (as opposed to 465), but it doesn't work.
  • Camera still has no real-time display and the video function is still broken.

  • When you press the power button, nothing happens (if you hold it down for >5 seconds it shuts down immediately). This is going to be suspend soon...so think of it as a feature.
  • To shut down, now you can use the icon on the home page. When you hover over your XO icon you will get see a shutdown flyover. This worked for me.
  • I opened Abiword, wrote some text, then went to the journal. It showed a new entry, after another click or two I saw a third Abiword entry. None of them let me resume.
  • I tried opening other activities (camera, calc, paint) and they would show up in the donut while it was trying to open, then just disappear.
  • After closing the journal with CTL C, I was able to open another activity (paint).
  • After some inactivity, the screen went into a suspend mode and resumed when I hit a key! (I believe that is the proper behavior)
