Sounds like everything is pretty much working as expected. Yay :)

How common might that be? In any case it's trivial to show or hide that button 
for John himself.

Well, I assume this would happen on a regular PC too if you just open any 
random file? If not I should try to figure out what's going on.

One simple possibility would be to disable thumbnails and show a list of text 
entries instead. A better way would be to retrieve thumbnails only for visible 
items (and maybe cache in the background).

OTOH this would happen on a PC too if you have a folder with hundreds of 
pictures in it. So a general solution might be more appropriate than a 
Sugar-specific one.

Indeed. I reported on the strange default Journal+USB behavior earlier (copied 
again below). Do you want me to change anything? Like only ever show entries 
from the main Journal?
