Line 80: − == Datastore API feature requests ==+ − − ==== Let all activities browse datastore in "objects" mode ==== − − So any activity can datastore.find() to get collapsed objects(all versions by one resultset item). − − That should mean that any datastore object should have "object id": − * ''activity_id'' for objects that were generated by activities (already implemented) − * ''bundle_id'' for .xo bundles in the Journal − * ''uid'' for other objecets (already implemented) − − Let datastore clients browse history of collapsed objects: − * for ''activity_id'' objects - sort by timestamp (already impelemented) − * for ''bundle_id'' objects - sort by ''activity_version''(or so) field − − Let datastore clients sort objects by any field(not only predefined like uid, activity_id etc). − This features can benefit [[Activities/Library]] activity, at present(for 0.82/0.84) Library uses "rich" datastore client which fetches all Journal objects to make short list of objects(by collapsing all versions to one item), moreover it has to unzip .xo bundles to get ''bundle_id'' value.+

:Basically, all versions of a document would appear within the list view timeline. Their order within the list would be determined by their timestamp. If I work on 3 iterative versions of a document, then go back to the second version and make changes, I get a new 4th version which appears as the most recent item in the Journal. It doesn't matter (at least here) that I technically have a branch at version 2, which has children 3 and 4. What matters in the Journal perspective is that I worked on version 4 most recently. The tree is flattened into a list in the time dimension.

:This is also the reason that the latest Journal designs split the UI into "action" and "object" views. The action view would be a temporal history of everything you've done (with each version through time). The object view would represent each object only once, by it's most recent version, thus providing a much shorter list.
