Tony, Feel free to clone Sugar Commander and try to create this! I won't say it isn't a good idea, but I have no inclination to do something like that myself. James Simmons On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 8:26 PM, fors...@ozonline.com.au wrote: PS It would be fun if you could export the Journal as

Tony, I updated Sugar Commander this morning. You can find the new version at: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8919415/SugarCommander-8.xo I put the Description entry in the Journal entry file and give the entry a MIME of text/plain. I also fixed some bugs that prevented it from running on Fedora 10,

Why do you save the entry like text/plain? If you do this, the file will be open by Read, Write, and other activities opening text files. I think is not a good idea, sorry by not replying before. Gonzalo On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 10:15 AM, James Simmons nices...@gmail.com wrote: Tony, I updated

Gonzalo, The Journal entry will contain a text file that has the same text as the Description. It *can* be opened by the Activities you mention, and that was my intention. By default it will open with Sugar Commander. Nobody will open it with write without wanting to. James Simmons On Sun,

Tony, Regarding: PS It would be fun if you could export the Journal as a text file. The Journal entry IS a text file. If you copy is to a USB drive using the Journal screen what you'll have on the drive is a text file. If you attach it to an email using gmail or Yahoo the attachment will be a

Aleksey, I think what I'm doing with Dropbox is an adequate way of getting some pre-release testing beyond the testing I do myself. I'm going to see if I get any more feedback then post to ASLO this afternoon. None of my Activities are complex enough to require extensive beta testing. I just

Tony, I will consider saving the Journal entry with a plain text MIME type. The text file would contain the same text as in the Description. As far as saving on change of focus, I could do that but the Activity presents you with one of those Description dialogs when you exit it the first time
