Thanks, yes this is on my list of features to add, there is a 'hack in this feature yourself' on the SL wiki page about how to modify activities, but we should have a think about the UI and put it in officially (don't want to overload the UI).

I'd like to see the home list view dropped (and there does seem to be support from others for this idea), and for its functions to move to the Journal (favouring activities, and activity version display). The Journal does currently show downloaded activity bundles, but needs to also show installed bundles (even if the downloaded bundle is not kept or the activitiy was installed by some other means). The Journal would then be the place for the one search to rule them all.
