It's a simple typo I assume - list is an array of 2 elements, the  
second is the total number of items, the first is an array of  
dictionaries for each entry. Your code should look like

   list := (store find: ... with: ...) first.

With that change it works fine here (and the #asString send is not  
even needed).

If it does not then maybe your jpeg journal entries indeed do not have  
files in them? Can you open them in another activity?
