- A Booted Trisquel 5.0-sugar CD was used for these examples
- Note these screen-shots were Drag-Dropped to a 2nd USB-stick
- Copied from the USB to another Computer and uploaded to the Sugarlabs.wiki
- Where it was inserted into this page
Export from the Sugar Journal
- import and export items from the sugar journal Using this procedure :
- You need a 2nd USB-stick inserted in a USB slot before you begin.
- A USB-stick is required to be inserted for this to work.
- Click on the journal icon under the XO Avitar centered in the f3 (Home) screen.
- move the mouse cursor to the center of the screen.
- In the left bottom of the sugar screen will be 2 USB icons
- Journal
- 2nd USB
- click on a file in the journal listing that pops up when you click on the journal icon in the left bottom corner;
- hold down the mouse as you drag the entry to the 2nd USB Icon next to it on the bottom left corner.
- release the mouse button when you are over the 2nd USB Icon and a + will appear.
- This is an Drag-Drop export to the 2nd USB-stick
Import to Sugar Journal
- Export in reverse
- click on a file from the list on the 2nd USB that pops up when you click on it's icon in the left bottom corner.
- drag it [1] with the mouse to the journal icon in the bottom left corner. A + will appear as it is added to the journal.
- [1]Hold down the right mouse button as you drag the file to the Journal icon in the left bottom corner.
- When you go to the (f3) Home Screen and click on the journal the new item will be in the journal.
- If the file was an activity.xo file. It will be automatically installed.
- NOTE: The drag-drop process in sugar does a hidden conversion of the journal files to ones that will work on a USB. It seems to be the only way to do an import/export in Sugar.
Notes
- How to take Screen Shots on a Mac Useful for sugar applications running in VirtualBox for OSX
- Comment: An important use case for the Keep button. How do we store just the image, without the software state? Some Activities, including Turtle Art, have a button for this purpose.
