True - thanks for the tip. I didn't find any specific workaround (but I found one of my own, as I mentioned before). > And we have tickets in trac as well. Cool. I will create an additional ticket, related to file renames on a USB drive. If I can find my way around the relevant code, I'll try to prep a patch. cheers, martin -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

If you go through the archives, you will find that this was discussed
some weeks ago, I think it was Tony Forster who started the
discussion.
And we have tickets in trac as well.

If you want to preserve your users' ability to name a file you serve via HTTP, eschew proper mimetypes and say with me: Content-Type: application/x-forcedownload With that mimetype, the "rename and copy" strategy works. > Is there a better way to do this? At first blush it doesn't qualify as 'better', but this particular file is not meant to be read or edited by the end user (as it's Canonical JSON). So serving it text/plain was a liability, as the Journal would happily open it under Write.xo . So yes, we are better off with it. Maybe application/json-don't-edit-me would be more appropriate. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

There are lots of things that rely on filenames; as the userbase of Sugar grows, users will use Sugar for an ever widening variety of tasks. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
[Sugar-devel] Journal and filenames on USB disks - more leases.sig problems
I am trying to get leases.sig from the XS to the USB stick. On 8.2.x,
Browse.xo saves the file as
File leases.sig from http://...
... two possible ways to move next.
Copy and rename
1 - Insert (fat-formatted) USB stick, once mounted copy the file to
the USB stick. Check on Terminal indicates that the file has the LFN
we expect ("File leases.sig from http://...";).
2 - Switch to the 'USB disk' view of the Journal.
3 - Rename the file to leases.sig . A check from the commandline
shows that the file has not been renamed. Oops?. The Journal only
renames the metadata. Bug?
Rename and copy
1 - Rename the file in the Journal to 'leases.sig'
2 - Insert (fat-formatted) USB stick, once mounted copy the file to
the USB stick. The Journal reports that the file is called lease.sig.
>From terminal I can see that the file is called lease.sig.txt . Bug?
Is there a better way to do this?
cheers,
m
