[Sugar-devel] [sugar-toolkit-gtk3 PATCH] sl#4276: Writing the icon-files for ".xo" files on a permanent mount-point, and not /tmp. mount-point.

Hi Ajay,

first, thanks for helping on this.

Are you sure about this assumption?  How can you explain that the
icons are visible in the palette and in the details view?  I tested
with a stick which has a .xo file inside.

1. ls /tmp - no svg files

2. open Journal - I can see this:

3. ls /tpm - now I can see two svg files

So seems your assumption is wrong.
