Re: OLPC XO Computer

If I download a scratch program to my XO how do I open it in scratch? I can't find the file in the scratch "open file" menu.

I Have A XO But I Don't Use It.
I Got The Same Problem. I Think It Is Because It Saves The Project Somewhere Else.

Re: OLPC XO Computer

ywg and I discussed about this issue at my project comments.

It's possible. But unfortunately, it requires some complex steps by linux command.
If you're familiar with linux. I'll describe it.
I hope XO version will be integrated to Sugar Journal soon.

Re: OLPC XO Computer

I found an easy way to copy a downloaded  Scratch file from Journal.

1. Download a Scrach project from the web site with Browse activity.
2. Open Terminal activity. Then type the following command. [filename] is any filename you want.

copy-from-journal -t scratch /tmp/[filename].sb

3. Open Scratch activity. Then click [Open] button.
4. Click [Computer] button and choose [tmp] from the list.
5. You may find the filename you given. Then open it.

Please note XO is not so powerful, large projects (big mp3, anime, etc) may not open in it
