There are 3 kids in the house, and only one XO. They've all go the eToys bug (thank you team!), so I'm trying to get the eToys image to work on a Mac.
I downloaded the eToys image and runtime from the laptop.org Wiki, and it works fine. I'm able to create new projects and they're saved in the Squeakland/Squeaklets directory as expected.
The problem is that I'm not able to load them back into the eToys image. The eToys image doesn't have an obvious way to load a project. If I double click on the project, I end up in a bare squeak environment that gets errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Steve

One way is to drag and drop the file from Mac Finder to the running Etoys Window. Another way is to hit Command-, (hold the Command key and hit comma key), choose 'open...' menu, and choose 'file list'. Navigate to the .pr file and press 'load' button. One more way is to open the Object Catalog, choose 'Scripting' category, and Bring out "File Dialog".
It is a feature, but yes, when it is not running under Sugar, it should have "open" button in the menu bar.
Hope this helps,

Drag the project into a running etoys image.

Probably you have another Squeak version installed that gets run by default when you double-click a project. The projects made with the OLPC version cannot be loaded by an older Squeak. The upcoming Squeakland version will provide that compatibility.
