Yea just looked at build 767 (Sugar 0.82.1) vs. build 300py (Sugar 0.88.1). Both have a Copy menu item in the Journal hover palette, but it is only for copying to the clipboard, unlike the details view Copy icon that has a secondary menu function (when a USB device is inserted) for copying to the USB. Interestingly 0.88.1 is not showing the nice USB icon in the details Copy menu that you get in 0.82.1 (there's just a blank space where the little USB icon would be).   

I must admit the details view Copy to USB feature always seemed rather well hidden/unexpected to me. I've always just gone for the drag'n'drop from the main Journal view, though likely due to my long term Mac exposure.
