[Sugar-devel] [Testing] Test summary - 26 September 2009 Auckland

[Gary C Martin]

Hi Fabiana,

I just tested with Safari downloading an .xol from activities.sugarlabs.org 
  (there's only one I could find called Newbery, and no biology), and  
the bundle downloaded correctly.

Were you trying to download from OLPC's wiki.laptop.org?

	http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Collections

It looks like there is an issue there on that server if you click  
directly on a link to a .xol file. However if you ctrl-click on the  
link, you can specify to download/save-as instead to avoid it being  
shown.

Regards,
--Gary

P.S. .xo and .xol bundles are just .zip files with some agreed  
directory structures and files in. On any computer you can just rename  
the extension to .zip, then unzip it to get a look at what's inside.  
You could then make additions/modifications to the content inside and  
then re-zip the folder back up again to create a refresh of content  
for use in Sugar (on a Mac just ctrl-click on the folder and select  
Compress).
