Description (last modified by tonyforster)
In 13.1.0 Gnome, TA is not discoverable, in earlier builds it was. This is because Nautilus default preference is not to launch .py files and because of a much earlier decision to disable permissions of the Activities directory.
I suggest:
1) Add Turtleart to the Gnome Applications/Programming menu
2) Make the Nautilus default 'Ask each time' for executable text files.
3) I question the wisdom of disabling permissions for Activities. It is not consistent with Sugar/OLPC core values. The larger deployments have their own builds, have smaller deployments requested disabling Activities? Is it achieving anything, if kids are smart enough to delete Activities then they are smart enough to chmod. I don't think there is anyway to downgrade an Activity version without Activities permissions.
ps Gnome Applications/Programming/Mysqueak doesn't seem to work but will do another ticket for that #4350
