mismatch between journal and recent activities list

[walter]

In the latest jhbuild (0.87) there seems to be a mismatch between recent activity as shown in the journal and as shown in the hover menu from the homeview. In the images attached to this ticket, you can see that different recent instances of Turtle Art are shown on the homeview than in the journal. (Note that applying the filter in the journal -- done for clarity -- makes no difference.)

I should have noted: this seems to be an initialization problem. New activity is added to the homeview recent activity list as I work within a session. The mismatch is evident whenever I start a new Sugar session.

Actually, I can see it without even having started an activity. I mark it a blocker, since it is an regression. I know that we touched that code, when we removed the dbus calls and used the sugar.datastore API.

Looks like a dupe of #1660 or at least related.

It isn't just matter of top-to-bottom vs bottom-to-top as per 1660. Different items show up on the list than expected. Once you run an activity, it shows up at the top of the list, no matter what. So perhaps related, but not the same.

Ok, I fixed the issue and we are back to the old behavior. The new code did use mtime instead of the 'last resumed' order we use as well in the Journal. For example when you change the title in the Journal, this will change the mtime value, but not the timestamp of the entry in the Journal. I guess this is the correct behavior.
