</imagemap>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.
PS: A minor patch that makes it unnecessary to specify the MIMETYPE (it figures it out from the file extension) has been proposed by User:Vorburger on devel mailing list. Here is the enhanced copy-to-journal.py script, and the diff for it
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.
