The backpack is a feature of the Scratch 2.0 project editor that allows users to drag and drop costumes, sprites, sounds, and scripts from other projects into it and then drag and drop them easily into their project.[1] This simplifies remixing. The backpack is collapsible, so, if the user is not using it at the moment, it is not taking up space. This feature is different from previous versions, because even if a project is downloaded, the files used within it are not easily accessible for use in another project, and the user must export the media first. The code contents in a user's backpack (in the form of ) can be seen in However, you can only access your own backpack, and to prove your identity you must be logged in. If you try to access somebody else's backpack, you will see a 403 error. To add media to the backpack, open the backpack by clicking on the "Backpack" tag at the bottom of the screen. Then drag a sprite, sound, costume, or script fragment into it.

There is no limit as to how much media the backpack can contain. Media can also be clicked and dragged around throughout the backpack for organization. To remove media from the backpack, right-click on the desired item and select "delete". To add scripts to your backpack from the Discussion Forums, click the "Add to Backpack" button next to a script. jc caylen backpackIt will ask you what you want to name the script, and once you click "Okay", it will be added to your backpack.coach backpack 9960 To remove media from the backpack, in the same or another project, one can open the backpack by clicking on the tab, the same way as before. backpack 56x45x25Then, one can click and drag the media out of the backpack and into the project editor.

Specific types of media must be dragged into specific areas of the project editor. For example, one cannot drag an image into the sound editor, as it will simply disappear and cause no function. When dragging media from the backpack, the object is not removed from the backpack but duplicated. If an item icon has a question mark on it, it means that the item has failed to be fully be put in the backpack. It does nothing when dragged to the project. Some media can still be exported from the backpack. The following media can be exported by right-clicking on its icon and selecting "Save to Local File": There has been a glitch which the Scratch Editor ignores some sounds when dragged out of the backpack.[2] The only workarounds are exporting sounds and then importing the sound in or making a random sprite with the sound, dropping it into the backpack, and duplicating it into a new project.See the most recent lessons below, or browse our archive to find specific topics you're interested in learning more about.

With sprites and sounds and costumes, it's quite convenient since you can recognize the piece of media by its name.However, the scripts - (which I find especially useful to put in the backpack when I want to use other people's custom blocks) - are all named the same! I think there should be some way to name the scripts to make them more easily identifiable.

When all I get to look at is a teeny-tiny preview of what the script looks like, it's hard to tell whether I've selected the right one unless I open all of the scripts in my backpack.Please add this feature! Edit: After thinking for a bit, I do see that a temporary solution for myself until the feature is added would be to add the scripts to sprites and then name the sprites appropriately… but still, that's going out of the way for a very simple action. It's like using a “say something for zero seconds” block as a way of commenting your code! (And I remember people used to do that in the older versions of Scratch!)

April 4, 2013 01:05:58 April 20, 2013 02:53:47 Yeah, this would be nice. I currently have a random reporter block with -179 to 180 typed in backpacked because I make a lot of projects where sprites point in a random direction, and typing that in is much more of a hassle than just taking it from your backpack.

Plus it speeds it up because you don't have to go to the “operators” section, which occasionally saves me a couple clicks. Thanks for the ride, Scratch Team and community! Unfortunately, the time has come for me to move on from Scratch, so I'll no longer be using the forums. Thanks again, and farewell!For old time's sake, see the revolutionary !
