This patch adds $HOME/Documents to the volume toolbar in the Journal view.
The rationale is to make it easier for people to move files in and out of
the data store from the file system -- a feature oft requested by teachers.
It also means that Sugar activities can more readily access files generated
outside of Sugar -- another feature requested by teachers.
Note that this patch requires the inclusion of a new icon, user-documents,
that is included in a separate patch.
The current version of this patch reflects feedback from Sascha Silbe (See

First of all thanks for trying to solve this need. About the approach, I
am not sure the Journal is a good file browser. The information about
the hierarchical file system is lost. I presume the use case is to
import/export data from the Journal, similar to the view for an external
device. I actually do not like that neither ;p For large file systems
the current Journal code takes a long time to scan and then one gets a
view of files where the expected ordering is lost. Not sure how to do
that better besides including a file browser, though.
I have to think about the general approach of how we show files on non
Journal devices a bit more.
Regards,
Simon
