In Sugar these menu items do not export to the Journal. If someone  
exports it as file, it's very hard to import into another activity.  
Ask Randy, he tried ;)

Copy-and-paste is more friendly, don't you think? E.g., get halo,  
press Cmd-C, switch to mail app, press Cmd-P, done:

No file names involved, no searching in which folder it was saved, no  
worrying about the difference between PNG and JPG.

If you need to save to a file, run Preview, choose "New from  
Clipboard" (or press Cmd-N), then save in any format you like,  
including PNG.

I'm *not* saying we couldn't re-enable the export menu items, just  
explaining why we thought them to be unfriendly except for advanced  
users who like to deal with files and file names and file formats etc.
