<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 762px; height: 110px;" alt="Education and gnuLinEx" src="imagenes/titulo.png"><br>
</div>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">User Manual</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><img style="width: 310px; height: 275px; float: left;" alt="ControlAula" src="imagenes/scaledMonitor.png">
Everytime a student (or a teacher who's not logged in to a teacher computer)
logs in, the application starts minimized in the destkop panel notification
area. It's easy to identify it by its icon <img style="width: 32px; height: 32px;" alt="Icono minimizado" src="imagenes/CA2pp.png" align="middle">.
Clicking on it will show or hide the application.<br>
<br>
The application looks like the image at left, in which we can see three
different areas:<br>
<ul>
<li>Upper left: Classmate icons area.</li>
<li>Upper right: List of files shared by the selected
classmate.</li>
<li>Lower tab: Personal icon, shared folders and files in
the selected folder.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
</ul>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>Colleagues icons area</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Whenever classmates or a teacher logs in,
their icons will appear in this area.
The user's login name will appear under each icon, and moving the mouse over
the icon will display a small text box with the user's full name (if that data
was provided when the user account was created).<img style="width: 295px; height: 157px; float: right;" alt="Menú controlaula" src="imagenes/monitorMenu.png">
<br>
Left clicking on the classmate icon
will display the files he or she is sharing in the right-hand pane.<br>
Right clicking on the classmate icon will display the menu you can
see on the right; this menu will allow the user to:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Send a file to her classmate: A dialog will appear that allows the user
to choose a file from disk that will be sent once selected. The
receiver will see a dialog that will allow him to accept or reject
the file -- except if the file is sent by the teacher. If the file is
accepted it will be copied to his home folder on his computer.</li>
<li>Send a message to her classmate: a small dialog with a
textbox will appear to write the message to be sent. </li>
<li>Aceppt/Reject her messages: To authorize or block every
message coming from a particular classmate. Messages coming from the teacher
cannot be blocked.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>Lower tab</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The lower tab contains the user
application data. It's split into three parts:<br>
</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>User photo (or icon): can be changed in three
ways: dragging an image file from the file explorer over the current photo<a href="user.html#gtk_bug"><small>[1]</small></a>;
using the copy menu in the file explorer and right clicking on the
current photo, then selecting paste in the popup menu; or using the
application to change the login photo for gdm or kdm (gdmphotosetup for
gnome users or throught the control panel, appearance section for KDE
users).</li>
<li>Shared files categories: ControlAula allows the user to group
shared files by categories. A student could organize his or her file
something like: common, maths, chemistry, etc.; or like: common, first, second,
third, etc. Only the files in the selected
category are shared. The application always shares the files in the
<span style="font-style: italic;">common</span> category.
The user can create new categories by typing the new name and pressing
Enter in the textbox under "<span style="font-style: italic;">Add
a category</span>". </li>
<li>Shared files: the shared files under this category are
shown. There are two ways to share a new file: dragging
and dropping it from the file explorer onto this frame<a href="user.html#gtk_bug"><small>[1]</small></a>
or using the copy and paste menus, just as with the user photo. Right
clicking on a selected file will raise a pop-up menu to delete the
file, copy it to the user home folder, or copy it to the user Desktop.
Files with a size smaller than 200 Kbytes will be shared via http, others
will use the bittorrent protocol for sharing.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<h2>Shared files by selected classmate area</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">After left clicking on a
classmate icon, all her currently shared files will appear in
this frame.<br>
To download any of the files, left click on the file to display the download
menu. Download time will depend on the file
size. When the download is finished a warning will appear and the file
will be placed in the current shared files area of the user. Every time
a shared file is downloaded it will automatically become a shared file for
the user who downloaded it.</div>
<br>
<h2>Application manuals</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="index.html">Index</a></li>
<li><a href="teacher.html">Teachers documentation</a></li>
<li><a href="admin.html">Sysadmin
documentation</a></li>
<li><a href="install.html">Installation and Quick
Start</a></li>
</ul>
<small><a name="gtk_bug"></a>[1] This action
won't work if the application is using a version of the gambas gtk component
lower than 1.9.91 because of a bug in that component</small>
