Bert,

Thanks for this.
I was able to find some lost EToys projects using your suggestion.

I could use some help using copy-to-journal.
I am getting an error about mimetype. What should I use?

Thanks.
Gerald

 Bert,

 Thanks.
 Which log should I look at?
 I'll try the other stuff on Monday when I am back at school.

 Bert,

 I have been working with students to create EToys projects.
 Two of them were working yesterday on their projects, which I saw. Their
 work was very good, and almost done. When they went to finish it today,
 yesterday's work was not in the Journal, nor were there any other records in
 the Journal of earlier sessions on this project.

 So, I have some questions:
 1. Under what conditions could this happen?


 Don't know. Is there anything in the log?

 2. Is it possible that the project is on the XO, but not showing in the
 Journal? If so, where might I find it.


 It's unlikely, but try

  su
  find /home/olpc/isolation -name \*.pr

 which would look for Etoys projects in the rainbow-jailed folders.

 3. Can you suggest any way to recover this work?


 If you find a project file you can use copy-to-journal to add it to the
 Journal.

For Etoys projects use application/x-squeak-project. 

Yes, it's maddening that copy-to-journal forces you to type that, when a simple 
call to gvfs-info (or its pythonesk incantation) would guess correctly most of 
the time (*).

(*)
[o...@xo-0c-f3-0c ~]$ gvfs-info -a standard::content-type /usr/share/etoys/*.pr

Bert,

One more question, can you give me an example of a properly formed
'copy-to-journal' command?

Thanks.
