Re: [Sugar-devel] The best place to learn interaction with the olpc journal ?
Hello, i'm happy to discover the terminal command copy-to-journal. But i'm still bothered by the usb key - journal transfer. That is : - when I open an already saved LearningWriting (whose outputs mime type is application/x-graph : *.gph) from the OLPC journal, all is fine - but when first copy an entry from the OLPC journal to the USB key; put it try to open it from USB key journal, my application clears all data, though it does not clears data when I open an entry from the OLPC journal. It neither works if I import an entry from the usb key to the olpc, before trying to open it. So my question is : is it the read_file() method in my application which may be bad coded or a bad manipulation from the olpc journal ?

Re: [Sugar-devel] The best place to learn interaction with the olpc journal ?
Laurent, I thought I had covered what you need to know in MYOSA, but if it wasn't clear all you need to do to load a drawing that you created in your Activity is implement the def read_file(self, file_path): method. That gets executed when your Activity gets loaded, and file_path will contain the data from your Journal entry. You can also read metadata from the Journal entry here. When you close your Activity then the def write_file(self, filename): will save your drawing file as a Journal entry. The write_file() method is also the place where you can set up metadata for your Journal entry. write_file() is also invoked when you switch the focus away from your Activity. That is all most Activities will ever need to do, but if you want to do more the chapter Fun With The Journal will give you the details. If there are features you need to know about that I didn't cover could you let me know what they are?

Re: [Sugar-devel] The best place to learn interaction with the olpc journal ?
Hello, I apologize, I explained what I wanted to say in a bad way the etext example given in the tutorial does not show a write_file example. I tried to implement write_file in my application by giving a look at Turtle art example, adapting it for a custom MIME type. I believe it is quite simple to do this, but unfortunately, i must have done a mistake in my application : - when I give a look at the journal, the screen capture of my save is ok. But when I try to open it with my application, the picture as been erased and I have lost all my data (Instead of really opening my save, it starts from sratch and erase old saves). So I think I misunderstood the developpment of interaction with the journal. My MIME type is *.gph and stands for application/x-graph - when I copy an entry from the journal to the USB key, it has the gph extension, but it appears as empty : screen capture is a green background (the standard background of my application). However, when i open it with a text editor from my linux host, it has text data. So i really think i have misunderstood the development of interaction with the journal I apologize for what i've said in my recent post.

2011/6/21 Walter Bender walter.ben...@gmail.com I am not sure I follow your intension here. I have been running your activity and although I haven't tested it extensively, when I relaunch from the Journal I get the drawing I made reloaded. When I add to that drawing and save, upon relaunch, I get the aggregate drawing. What behavior would you expect otherwise? That's exactly what i wanted to do, but i can't manage : so it's the journal using that i misunderstood. However i launched it with the restart button from the journal, and even with the restart from LearningWriting option. when I copy an entry from the journal to the USB key, it has the gph extension, but it appears as empty : screen capture is a green background (the standard background of my application). However, when i open it with a text editor from my linux host, it has text data. So i really think i have misunderstood the development of interaction with the journal I've not tested this. Will do and report back. regards. -walter Thank you :) Regards I apologize for what i've said in my recent post.
