what is the meaning of
"Added a backup configuration file to backup activities"
thank you

another question:
"Store Current" is the same to use "New"?

It seems that I need to add a 'help' option.

The first is a configuration file that makes n900 take a backup of actman's configuration files when performing a backup. It was requested in this thread some posts ago.

As for the second: When you load an activity and you perform changes, those changes are saved by actman only when you switch activities. If in the mean time hildon-home crashes and you loose some widgets, actman will not be able to restore them. It's one those features that you don't need to know about unless you need them.

store did something else also than just store

Code:

~ $ activity list
20101205
20101217
Default
~ $ activity current
Default
~ $ activity store 20110117
Creating: 20110117
Saving to: 20110117
Saving ........
~ $ activity current
20110117
~ $ activity list
20101205
20101217
20110117
Default

I would had wanted just to store backup and continue using Default.

Right! First of all, don't panic! You just found an undocumented feature where 'store' also changes the current activity. The intention was to use 'activity store' to store the current desktop as such and then operate on that. Either I'll add an option or add another command that just saves the current settings without changing the activity.

If you want that behavior right now then edit /usr/bin/activity and go to do_store(). There you'll see the lines:

Code:

set_current "$1"
get_current
save2

Change those to:

Code:

get_current
BACK="$CURRENT"
set_current "$1"
get_current
save2
set_current "$BACK"

and you'll be ready

One suggestion: could you replace the icon left of the message after having successfully stored current activity? Currently it looks like an error message even the task was completed successful.
I like that new feature very much as I don't have to open terminal again to do that job.

Just create a textfile with some name you like, put the line (1) on top of the file and add your dbus call on next line(s). Then make that file executable (2) and specify the path to it in actman.
