saving projects (OLPC)
Locked
 
|
Using the OLPC etoys, when I save my project to 'Publish to different server' (by holding down the Keep Project icon for an extended time), does it save it to both my local hard disk AND some Squeak server, or just my local disk? -Randy p.s. THANKS for all those math functions in the 'palette of useful tiles'! nitpick: it would be nice to really be able to create a variable named 'x' (as opposed to having it renamed to 'x1') _______________________________________________ Squeakland mailing list [hidden email] http://squeakland.org/mailman/listinfo/squeakland |

The project is always saved to you local "Squeaklets" folder, and then copied to whatever location you choose in the dialog. > -Randy > > p.s.

Hi, Randy,
The reason you're not allowed to create a variable named "x" is because all players already automatically have a system-defined variable named x -- the horizontal cartesian coordinate. So "Car's x" would become ambiguous if Car, in addition to having its built-in, system-defined variable named "x", could also define its own "x" variable.

Why does the Mac version of Squeak save into ~/Library/Preferences/Squeak/Internet/My Squeak?
I would have thought a more logical location would be: ~/Documents/My Squeak Student (and staff) would never find the former on their own! John. On 30 Aug 2007, at 13:56, Randy Heiland wrote:

For historic reasons - when the main way to run Squeak was through
the browser plugin ... But the installer should have placed an alias to that folder on your desktop? Besides, the latest version should actually use ~/Documents/ Squeakland as the default folder. And, nowadays this can be changed by editing the info.plist file in the VM bundle to any folder you want (the item key is SqueakUnTrustedDirectory). - Bert - On Aug 31, 2007, at 0:20 , John Kershaw wrote: > Why does the Mac version of Squeak save into ~/Library/Preferences/ > Squeak/Internet/My Squeak? > > I would have thought a more logical location would be: > > ~/Documents/My Squeak > > Student (and staff) would never find the former on their own! > > John. > > On 30 Aug 2007, at 13:56, Randy Heiland wrote: > >> Using the OLPC etoys, when I save my project to 'Publish to >> different server' (by holding down the Keep Project icon for an >> extended time), does it save it to both my local hard disk AND >> some Squeak server, or just my local disk? >> >> -Randy >> >> p.s.

I've just installed Squeakland on a brand new MacBook, which is to be
the master image for the rest of the MacBooks arriving later today. Teaching starts tomorrow (supply hold-up!). I downloaded the image from the Squeakland home page. It did indeed create aliases to the application and the save folder (In Preferences/ blah/blah/blah). But that's no use to me - I installed it using the admin account, but the students will run it from their own network accounts. Is the OLPC version ready for prime time? What's the correct download URL? John.
