Re: Journal integration for Scratch

2009-01-15 Thread Philipp Kocher
You are right. It doesn't work like that, but the filename is quite
important to me. It is shown in the Scratch GUI and it is an important
marker to find the project, when save and not save as is used.
I wouldn't just take the object_id. What do you think John?

There is a bug in Scratch version 12. The symbolic link of the Project
directory doesn't get created (Open Projects shows Scratch.activity
folder instead). I checked the scripts (scratch-activity and
scratch-wrapper) but couldn't find where the link should get created.

Philipp

 I would simply name the file $object_id.sb.

 Hi John

 Yes, we need the mimetypes.xml file as well (thanks Tomeu I forgot the 
 USB flash drive use case). I have tested the attached mimetypes.xml. 
 It is working fine. Put it in the activity directory.

 Furthermore we have to change the scratch-activity script, so the 
 parameter with the scratch project object-id gets converted 
 (copy-from-journal) in a file and passed on to scratch. See the 
 attached scratch-activity script. I am not an expert with bash 
 scripts, so please give feedback.

 I would like to extend the script so project files in the journal 
 directory are copied back to the journal after exiting scratch, but 
 for opening project it should work fine.

 Best regards,
 Philipp

 Hi, Phillip.
 Thanks for all your hard work in tracking this down. I had looked at 
 several other packages, including EToys, and couldn't figure out from 
 them how to do this.
 I will make these changes to the next XO Scratch bundle.
 Is that all I need to do? What about the mime types XML file similar 
 to the one added by Etoys? Does that turn out to be unnecessary?

 Shipping a mimetypes.xml file inside the bundle as explained here:

 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activity_bundles#Bundle_Structure

 Sugar will call update-mime-database and will merge that file 
 into the
 xdg mime database.

 I think that John is already trying this.

 Guess I'm confused then - I thought that's exactly what Philipp 
 had done.
 I think he just changed the mime_types field in the .info file.
 And I just checked and it does work with Etoys projects. When 
 downloading
 one it indeed gets an etoys icon (although at a smaller size - why 
 is that?)
 No idea, though I think that the mime database is updated in the etoys
 rpm and not in the bundle, am I right?
 Regards,
 Tomeu

 Thanks Tomeu to lead me to the /home/olpc/.local directory. However, 
 the
 mimetypes.xml is not necessary to get the icon in the journal. I just
 had to copy the scratch icon file in the activity directory to
 application-x-scratch-project.svg (also in the scratch activity
 dirctory). The Memorize Activity is a good example for using that 
 feature.
 Sugar has to be restarted after installing Scratch to show the icon.

 John, could you please make the following changes in the next Scratch
 version:
 - add the line mime_types = application/x-scratch-project to the
 activity.info file
 - copy the scratch icon to application-x-scratch-project.svg in the
 activity directory

 Etoys gets configured by different packages. e.g. the rpm
 etoys-3.0.2153-1.noarch is adding the file
 /usr/share/mime/packges/etoys.xml and the rpm 
 sugar-artwork-0.82.3-1.olpc3 is
 adding the file
 /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/mimetypes/application-x-squake-project.svg.

Hello

We are up for another exciting session this Saturday with Calum showing us
how to pull apart and rebuild XOs. Bring a Phillips number one screw driver
if you have one and join in the fun. Last week we tested an activity called
Food Force II (goal is to enable village to escape poverty and develop
nutritional self-sufficiency) and we have had great engagement with the
authors so it will be good to see if we can further test this activity for
them.

Usual spot - Southern Cross, Abel Smith Street, Wellington
Usual time - 10.30am
Feel free to invite others who might like to join in.

 -- Forwarded message --
 From: Ron Canuel
 Subject: Greetings from the Eastern Townships School Board Quebec Canada
 To: s...@laptop.org


 Good afternoon Samuel,

 I have assembled a team of four experts in the field of laptop
 technology and deployment who are finalizing the presentation for next
 Friday, the 16th of January.  We are very excited to present and have
 reviewed the agenda as well as the format of the week.

 For information purposes, our School Board, the Eastern Townships
 School Board is one of the few school districts in North America to
 have provided free wireless laptops to all
 students/teachers/administrators/trustees from Grades 3-11, including
 our two adult education centres.  We began our deployment in 2003 and
 have acquired much expertise and knowledge on the keys to successful
 deployments of technology in education.  We remain one of Canada's
 best kept secrets because we have witnessed a less than enthusiastic
 endorsement of the role of technology in the classroom.  Please take a
 look at our website: www.etsb.qc.ca  and look under the Enhanced
 Learning Strategy.

 The OLPC represents a major and significant shift in paradigms in
 education and sharing with you and your colleagues our experiences
 will hopefully make the deployments in other countries easier.

 The US Department of Education have used our pedagogical and
 technological rubrics and posted it on their website, since they
 acknowledged our important work in this area as well.

 All of this expertise was fully appreciated by our education
 colleagues in Uruguay, who signed a partnership agreement with our
 School Board, to assist them in the deployment of the OLPC laptops
 throughout the country.  We visited Uruguay and also had delegations
 from Uruguay visit our schools.  As you can understand, we are also
 receiving inquiries from other countries, most recently from the
 ambassador of South Africa who wants our School Board to provide
 further information on how laptops can make a difference in their
 schools.  I can include Paraguay and Peru as well.

 We also concluded an agreement with the world famous Cirque du Soleil,
 in which we provide education to the minor artists of their shows,
 synchronously, from our head office in Quebec.

 All of this to say that, fully understanding the major upheaval that
 the OLPC personnel have just experienced, we look forward to seeing
 you on the 16th of January,

 Sincerely,

 Ron Canuel
 Director General
 Eastern Townships School Board
