If you click a .xo bundle, Sugar *will* unpack it into ~/Activities.

If you unpack it onto an SD Card yourself, Sugar will not see it. Unless ...

... you manually do this step to make Sugar think it was installed in a regular way.

In any case, the activity would still write to the Journal unless it has specific support to write somewhere else.
