==Project Status==

~~The project is under active development. I am currently looking for bug reports as well as suggestions for further improvement. Check out the current Dev Release (Dec. 14, 2009) or source code.~~

If you have found a bug, please report it ~~the google group page or email to our google group email address~~.

This activity has been released on activities.sugarlab.org. At this time, development is pending community feedback and bug reports. I am not actively working on this project, but I am willing to pick it up anytime for bug reports or for feature requests.

Bug reports and as well as suggestions for further improvement will be appreciated.

If you have found a bug, please report it on sugar's [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/newticket?component=FileShare&owner=jlew bug tracker] (competent: FileShare, owner: Jlew)

==Features==

* Activity can be loaded up and files can be added and removed from the file list

* It can be shared and users who join are able to download files from the file list.

* It can be shared and users who join are able to download files (journal entries) from the file list and have them installed into their own journal.

* Activity is able to keep and resume

** On closing, the system asks the user if they wish to keep the files with the activity. If they do, the files and file list is stored in the activity entry and can be restored.

** One advantage to this is an instance of this activity can be shared and the files remain with it.

* The server is able to copy files back to the journal

** Useful when restoring the activity and would like to get a file back that may have been deleted or modified.

* If there is a server running on the jabber server the xo is connected to, it can upload and download files there

** Server script can be found here: [http://gitorious.org/jlew/xo-file-distro/trees/master/FileShare.server http://gitorious.org/jlew/xo-file-distro/trees/master/FileShare.server]

==Bugs==

* ~~Sometimes user interface can become un~~-~~responsive during~~ file ~~transfers~~.

Please report bugs using sugars [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/newticket?component=FileShare&owner=jlew bug tracker] Component: File Share, Owner: Jlew

* Sharing a file, remove it, then trying to re-add it states that the file is already shared.

** This was intentional, when a file is removed, it is removed from lists, but the file still existing for anyone who is currently downloading the file. I plan on allowing the file to be re-added and then just have any clients who are downloading to ignore the file being added again.

==Future Plans==

Line 26:

Line 43:

** Prevent/Notify user from closing the activity while users are downloading from them.

* ~~Activity should be able to save its state~~

* Update server script

** ~~Next time it loads up, the activity should be able to restore the~~ file ~~list and continue sharing.~~

** Keep list of who uploaded file

** ~~This feature would be helpful for~~ a ~~teacher~~ to ~~save files related to the day's lesson and then be able to recall it at a later time.~~

** Maybe add a private upload option that does not show to all users

* Integration to the school server

** Current plans are to have a server running on the school server as well allowing authorized users ~~to upload files to the school server as well.~~

===UI===

* ~~Download All Button~~

* Display icons for the journal entry type

* Download file in each row instead of selecting each file then clicking download

** Alternatively, support selecting multiple rows and then click download.
