Yes, teachers and content developers need this, in addition to
children. I can of course transfer objects from the file system, but
then I have randomly named objects. I have to either rename them
manually, or create a browser to read the metadata files. (Good idea,
anyway. The Journal doesn't count, because you have to look at a
separate screen for every entry's data.)
