Hi -
(My apologies if this is being posted twice to the newsgroup - the first
time I posted, I'm 99.9% sure that something went wrong - at any rate, I
can't find that post in the newsgroup)
Let's say I have a TOC file (toc_a.xml) and it is primary. It subsumes
another primary TOC file (toc_b.xml) by including a <link toc="..toc_b.xml"
/>. If I create an activity that filters toc_a.xml and then disable that
activity, what should I expect? Should toc_b.xml now show up in the
top-level of the navigation since toc_a.xml is disabled and can no longer
subsume it? Should both toc_a.xml and toc_b.xml not show up, period?
When I play with this, I'm finding that disabling toc_a.xml results in a
disable of both TOCs (toc_b.xml does not show up, even though it isn't
explicitly included as part of the activity). To be honest, I'm not sure
what I was expecting here - I could understand both results. But I do want
to know if what I'm seeing is what is expected.
Thanks,
Jennifer Calder

The original post appeared. Anyway, I post my repply here too:
Hi,
Yes, this is the design. Since topics are in a hierarhy, and activities
filtering is applied to a ready navigation, not before it is built, a topic
is visible if all its parents (toc_b and toc_a) are visible. If toc_b fits
logically into (is part of from a users point of view) toc_a, and toc_a is
not desired to be shown, why should the toc_b alone be shown.
