If you download a file using the Browse activity it is placed in the Journal. If you plug in a USB drive, it shows up in the Journal. You can copy a file from the Journal the Clipboard, and paste it from there into an activity. An activity can also bring up a dialog that lets the user pick a file from the Journal directly.
These are what the Sugar UI designers envision to be the only ways to interact with files. The file system is intentionally hidden.
Some forms of saving project gave error - reported on trac.
Thanks! I commented on that, too.
Me too - this is Not A Bug.
An activity like Etoys cannot write to the /home/olpc directory because it is not running as user olpc. This is the fabled "Rainbow" security in action (see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Low-level_Activity_API#Security if you are interested in some details).
