 relate.
 > > There should not be anything like that in the "Journal".  I normally
 keep my Journal VERY clean - I delete entries from it as soon as I have
 finished exercising any particular Activity.  And I haven't run Record-79
 on the XO-1.5 in days.

 > That's interesting.  The shell.log shows there is a Record-79 present
 alongside Record-81, and then in a subsequent log it is shown as being
 alongside Record-82, and I presumed it was the Journal that held
 Record-79.  I have no explanation for why shell.log says this.

 What you are looking at there is data in the format that file 'favorite-
 activities' is in -- but I have made sure that my
 .sugar/default/favorite_activities has no duplicates - so I do NOT know
 where shell.log is getting this information from.

 I had some months ago seen a corrupted Home View Ring (many many icons,
 with them all  overlapping each other) - and was able to trace that
 problem back to there being entries in .sugar/default/favorite_activities
 for Activity-versions that were no longer available in my system.  That
 became my motivation for keeping .sugar/default/favorite_activities
 "clean".

 [It could be that by me not using "software update", I am allowing Sugar
 to add ever more multiple versions to its "keeping-track-of-Activities"
 list.]
 ----
 By the way, I doubt you would find the problem I have with Record-82 on
 os204 by looking into how I install Activities.  I install ALL Activities
 the same way (there are no directories in my ~/Activities) - and they all
 work once I have installed them.  In particular, I just now installed
 Record-81 using the same procedure I used to install Record-82 -- and
 Record-81 correctly saved the audio clip, and did not vanish.  [The
 record-81 audio clip did contain the five seconds of silence.]
