This info has been moved to the official trial-3 release notes:<br> |

|||
* Save photos |
|||
** Record has changed a lot, and as a result, old entries cannot be opened on the new build |
|||
** Follow these steps to save photos; unfortunately, videos will be lost. |
|||
*# Drag photos from record onto the clipboard. |
|||
*# Scroll over the clipboard images, and select "add to journal" |
|||
* Sharing an abiword document works well for text, but images don't share properly. (This seems to be working in build 611 - AlexL) |
|||
Transporting photos, audio, and video from Record to USB sticks (Clipboard objects don't work) |
|||
# Drag media to the clipboard |
|||
# The files will be automatically added to the journal (named Audio by {XO_name}, Video by {XO_name}, and Photo by {XO_name} |
|||
# Drag these files from the journal to the USB stick, and any other laptop will be able to see and open them. |
|||
#*If you add the clipboard objects to the journal, they will not save correctly. |
|||
#*These objects will be able to be opened with different activities, but if you transfer them to a USB, you will not see them. |
|||
#*Changing the names of the items in the journal will force them to create correct names and file extensions. |
|||
#*After changing the name, drag the item from the journal to the USB stick. |
|||
#*Now, a non-XO laptop will be able to see and open the items on the USB stick. |
|||
'''IMPORTANT''' |
|||
* update to latest firmware before updating to latest image. |
|||
** The new firmware (Q2C28 and later) will check that the image is not corrupt before installing it, whereas the old firmware will wipe the nand and then run into trouble trying to install the new image. |
|||
** Basically, using the new firmware will keep you safe from possibly losing your data due to a corrupt image. |
|||
'''New Features:''' |
|||
Private Invitation: |
|||
# XO-1 starts an activity (such as abiword) |
|||
# From the neighborhood mesh view of XO-1, they find XO-2, who they want to share with. |
|||
# Hover over XO-2 and click on 'Invite'. This invites XO-2 to the current activity of XO-1 |
|||
# From XO-2's taskbar tray, they will now see an icon of the shared activity in the colors of XO-1 |
|||
# XO-2 clicks on this activity and it brings up the shared file. |
|||
Sharing a bookmark in Browse: |
|||
# Open the browser and go to a url of interest |
|||
# From the browse tab, click on the star in the upper right, next to the url window. This will create a bookmark |
|||
# Click on 'share with neighborhood' |
|||
# From another XO, click on the shared browse icon in the neighborhood mesh view |
|||
# You should get the same book mark after the browser starts up |
|||
'''Short Cut Keys:''' |
|||
* CTL-u: View source from a webpage with Abiword<nowiki>*</nowiki> |
|||
* CTL-n: From within Abiword, gives the full version of Abiword<nowiki>*</nowiki> |
|||
<nowiki>*</nowiki>not debugged/doesn't work with journal, so maybe we shouldn't tell people about it. |
