Copy to Journal Script

This Python script by Reinier Heeres and Phil Bordelon seems to do the trick.

This allows you to copy files from Linux to the Journal Activity filesystem.

To use it, save it using the name copy-to-journal.py. Save it in /home/olpc using the Opera web browser. Go to the Terminal Activity, and type

cd /home/olpc

To go to the directory you saved the file in. Then type

python copy-to-journal.py FILENAME -m MIMETYPE -t TITLE
  • FILENAME is the name you saved in the filesystem,
  • MIMETYPE is the Mimetype (eg txt or pdf).
  • TITLE is the name you want in the journal.

Copy from Journal script

This Python script allows you to copy files from the Journal to the Linux filesystem.

To use it, save it using the name copy-from-journal.py. Save it in /home/olpc using the Opera web browser. Go to the Terminal Activity, and type

cd /home/olpc

To go to the directory you saved the file in. Then type

python copy-from-journal.py -t NAME

But replace NAME with the name you saved in the Journal.
