Metadata preserved across reboots?

Tomeu, As I've mentioned before, I'm working on an EText reading activity that uses metadata to save the current page number when the activity closes, kind of like a bookmark. When the activity is resumed the saved page number would be shown. This works just fine while the XO is turned on,

Ixo, But alas, the response from ssh Permission denied (publickey). This error message implies that git was unable to use your ssh-agent to log in dev. In order for git to be able to use your ssh-agent, you need to have the ssh-agent running and you need to set SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the value

2008-02-28 Thread Gary C Martin
It does seem like read_file() is only triggered if you have previously saved an actual file to filesystem, if you just have metadata, no call is ever made to read_file() so it's a rather bad place to pick-up the metadata. At least this is what I'm seeing here – I've just created a 0
