Can't edit already-installed activities with Develop #25

Open martinwguy opened 3 years ago

martinwguy commented 3 years ago

If you open Develop in a fresh build, the list of activities you can edit is null (an empty selection box). If you install activites from activites.sugarlabs.org they are editable.

This issue is to find a way to make the already-installed Activities editable like all the rest

Yes, Develop was not written for the situation where activities are installed system-wide in /usr/share/sugar/activities. https://github.com/godiard/develop-activity/issues/3 relates to this. It's a problem with Develop, not Sugar Live Build.

Great, that suggests some things I can try to make it work, like symlinking ~user/Activitiees to the installed tree or something similar that will still allow them to install new ones.

Yes, you could install all the activities to ~/Activities if you don't plan to support installing the operating system and having more than one login. That's how we did it on OLPC OS up to the 13.x.y series.
