I just removed Sage 2.8 from my home directory and installed the SAGE version 2.10 dmg yesterday.(MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo 2GB memory running Leopard OS 10.5.1) When I opened the notebook, I noticed that my old worksheets were no longer available. When I tried to upload from the trike/sage_notebook/worksheets file in my directory, I got an error. I noticed that the new path for the sage_notebook is to the invisible directory .sage, so I tried moving the worksheets directory into .sage but I still could not get notebook to recognize them. I finally just opened them and pasted one into the notebook to see that everything was still there. It was, so if I need it I can always go back and paste it in. It would be nice if there is an easier hack.
If I am doing something incorrectly, please let me know. On a positive note, since I have Leopard the icon for my SAGE alias on the desktop is no longer the ugly unix executable. The very colorful Tachyon graphic of random spheres now serves in its place. It is just like the old days when all you had to do was drop the graphic into the info menu.
