Hi Stefano,

it is possible to export your project to your hard disk:

1. run ScratchJS via https://squeak.js.org/scratch/#fullscreen
2. Inside Scratch, click "Save" as you normally would, give it a name. I
just did that and named mine "test".
3. go to https://squeak.js.org/run/ and scroll down inside the file box:

4. click the "/Scratch/Scratch Projects/test.sb" link to download the
project file.


To import an older project you simply drag-and-drop it into ScratchJS. Or
drop it into the "run" page and then use Scratch's file dialog - you just
need to navigate up to the right folder (Click "Computer" then "SqueakJS"):

When I just tested this it said the file was corrupted, not sure if that is
a general problem or not.
Someone should investigate - to get to the Morphic desktop, shift-click the
loop in the R of the SCRATCH logo:

Feel free to file bug reports / feature requests at
https://github.com/bertfreudenberg/SqueakJS/issues/

It would be relatively simple to make a proper stand-alone app out of this
by packaging it via Electron, and using the actual file system instead of
the in-browser file system. I just do not have the time for that currently.

Cheers!
