</div>If I understand their design decisions, I think 'so far' is hoping too much for a closer UI fit with other Sugar activities. Their goal is that it should look as identical as possible on all supported platforms, making it a standard 'a platform' in its own right.</blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot for the clarification, that certainly makes sense. I had simply never considered this angle as 99% of my (still quite limited) exposure to Scratch have been on the XO:-D</div><div><br></div>
<div>Though admittedly I do have to wonder whether they'll re-consider this decision as the current UI doesn't lend itself to touch input IMHO and it seems like tablets are increasingly popular in the user populations Scratch targets.

You still have to go through their save dialogue, select the 'Journal' and type a file name, but it at least remembers all that if you resume a project previously saved to the Journal.<br>

Reminds me... I must try sending those new Scratch Journal entries to a friend and see if it transfers OK between machines (should be fine as long as the correct MIME details have been set).<br></blockquote><div><br></div>
