Hi All,<div><br></div><div>I tried Brian's simple solution and it works. You retrieve the file by clicking "Open" and more or less reversing the save process. I will further explore all the other stuff you folks sent, but tonight we are busy packing lunches and charging cameras, etc to get ready for 5-hour Ranger-led hike with the Grandkids in Yellowstone Park tomorrow morning. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks to all of you for your kind responses and for taking time on this holiday weekend to answer my question. I really appreciate it.</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl <br><br>> From: bcjordan@gmail.com<br>> Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2009 13:19:46 +0200<br>> To: support-gang@lists.laptop.org<br>> CC: iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org; testing@lists.laptop.org; walter.bender@gmail.com; support-gang@laptop.org<br>> Subject: Re: [support-gang] [IAEP] Problems Saving in Scratch<br>> <br>> You can save projects in scratch by putting them in a certain folder.<br>> <br>> (1) Click save<br>> <br>> (2) When the save dialog comes up, click the "Desktop" button on the left.<br>> <br>> (3) Type the name of your project, and click OK<br>> <br>> <br>> The Desktop shortcut goes to<br>> /home/olpc/isolation/1/uid_to_home_dir/10000/data, which I guess you<br>> can save to from within Scratch.<br>> <br>> Screenshot of dialog after clicking Desktop (and revealing the path):<br>> http://shell.sugarlabs.org/~bjordan/Picture%2038.png<br>> <br>> Brian<br>> <br>> On Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 11:38 PM, Ton van Overbeek<tvoverbeek@gmail.com> wrote:<br>> > On Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 4:46 PM, Caryl Bigenho<cbigenho@hotmail.com> wrote:<br>> >> Hi Walter and All,<br>> >> I tried your suggestion and the Terminal returned(blue but not a link):<br>> >> /home/olpc/Activities/Scratch.activity<br>> >><br>> >> I went back into Scratch and it still failed to Save.
