In particular since the Journal's USB support is so mediocre ... In any case, John, I'd also like you to comment on my code. Maybe we can schedule a call once you looked at it. The basic idea is to fake a FileDirectory which then works nicely with the existing code base (see SugarDirectory>>entries). There is some special-casing necessary (in particular where the code distinguishes between a file directory and a server directory) but it's quite minimal. Re thumb-nailing efficiency, I saw there is a background thumb-nailing process but apparently Scratch is still doing it all at once, and I didn't want to touch that. Maybe you could re-enable it, at least for SugarDirectory? Also I'm not quite sure if it would detect a modified image currently. The Journal doesn't report file sizes in queries. It could report a last-modified date but this is not yet used (but on my to-do list). > Claudia, do you have access to a XO1.5 machine?

I just tried my image on an actual XO and noticed I did not enable XO mode ... sorry for the small fonts ;) Begin forwarded message: > From: Holt <[email protected]> > Date: 24.
