DevelopActivity

Home‎ > ‎

See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Develop for more info. Currently this version only edits activities that are stored in ~olpc/Activities, but that at least means that you can use it to develop itself. It keeps the file data in the journal as well as in the filesystem. This means that you can restore an old version of a file by opening it up in the journal. Be careful! This can overwrite newer work if you're not.

To work, it needs you to either disable Rainbow globally or apply the patch to activiyfactory.py because it needs access to the file in ~olpc/Activities.

Things I'll be working on in the near future (also see Plans):

viewing/editing source of existing activities (by making a local copy)
creating new activities
running the activity from Develop
exporting/importing files from the Journal so they can be edited with other activities

If there are other things you'd like to see, let me know, or submit patches! My contact info is on the home page, or I'm z3p/z3p_xo on #olpc.
