== Exporting files from the sugar-journal with Drag-Drop to 2nd USB-stick==
[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Drag-Drop\ Drag-Drop] Moved to new wiki page
 
::Note this screen-shot was 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
 
You can import and export items from the sugar journal
with this complicated procedure :
Insert a 2nd USB
(required to be present for this to work)
highlight the desired lines in terminal or browser
click the scissors up icon (copy)  on the  top bar
open the frame (upper right corner with mouse)
click on the journal icon on to frame
move to the bottom left edge of frame
right click on  clipping icon on the left bottom edge of frame
hover on this icon select Keep which appears
retract frame
bottom bar shows journal and USB icon
[[File:2nd_USB.png|200px]]
Click on Figure ^ to enlarge it
use Your browsers <== Back arrow to return
drag the new clipping listed in the journal icon with mouse to the 2nd USB-stick icon now showing in bottom bar next to journal icon
hover over the USB-stick icon
remove
remove USB-stick from computer running sugar
insert USB-stick into another windows or linux computer and drag file on USB  to the desktop
(or into host system by removing and re-inserting it after exiting sugar)
open and copy this file to a paste bin application in your browser
'''Note''' this same method  '''drag-drop from a 2nd USB-stick''' can be used to export Photos from the sugar record activity
and to import/install to journal of (activity.xo) files if reversed
'''Note2 Screen capture'''
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.
    <Alt> + 1 or <PrtScn> (when present) captures the screen and stores a screenshot in the Journal.

: I agree; Could be linked to your text. I was thinking a series of screen shots in between the text (they can be smaller and clicked on to expand) showing the process. [[user:Satellit|satellit_]] 7:29 AM 7 Dec 2011 (I have moved the screen-shot into the text)
