#2947: EToys should not ask if the user wants to quit ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: J5 | Owner: etoys Type: defect | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Untriaged Component: etoys-activity | Version: Keywords: | Verified: 0 ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- EToys is the only application which asks the user if they really want to quit. This breaks the idea that users don't really quit apps they just stop them and can return to them at any later date. Asking a user if they want to quit comes from the fact that legacy application would lose data if you quit when you didn't want to, so it was a "dangerous" operation which needed confirmation. The model in sugar is if you mistakenly quit you can always start it from the journal where you left off.

Comment:
Hmm. How much disk space can we use? The suspend and resume model is almost same as (came from?) Smalltalk after all, and we could certainly take the snapshot of running image to resume quickly to the last session (a few seconds for both suspend and resume).
Saving and loading a project takes more time (but use less space), but certainly we can do it with this.
