The simplest would be something like if [ -n $object_id ] ; then filename=$SUGAR_ACTIVITY_ROOT/instance/temp.sb copy-from-journal -o $object_id $filename #... append $filename to Scratch command line ... fi (assuming the Scratch wrapper still basically looks like the Etoys one) - Bert - On 17.12.2008, at 00:51, John Maloney wrote: Hi, Bert.

Re: Downloading Scratch project to XO
Hi Philipp, I am not sure if this helps, but our apache config file has this for the Scratch file extension: AddType application/x-scratch-project sb My impression is that what you descrie has to do more with how the XO operating system handles the Scratch file type and/or with how to create the correct system call for Scratch to open a file. For the first, probably someone at OLPC might be able to you more, for the latter perhaps John know can help.
