the other way to move files around on the cr48

if you open the download shelf with ctrl+o and go to a folder you've created and then open another download shelf to another location you can drag a file between the two.it will copy the file to the location you dragged it to.

WARNING: if you drag a file around on just one shelf, like say trying to change the order of your files, it will corrupt the file dragged and it will be useless

about:flags

type about:flags into the omnibox to open a page where you can enable some experimental features

Media Player
Enables mp3 playback and video playback in a standalone popout media player.

Advanced File System
When you enable it, you can see a USB drive or SD card come up in a panel, but you’re unable to navigate through folders, making it impossible to open any files. This also enables the ability to make new folders when saving stuff to your downloads. It also adds a back button to the downloads shelf (ctrl+o).

Side Tabs
This changes the UI for the tabbed browsing interface. This is more likely to be used on widescreen monitors, and is not really that intuitive for laptop configurations.

Remoting
This enables the famed “Chromoting” remote desktop-style interface in Chrome OS. As of right now, it doesn’t appear to do anything more than enable the Cr-48 as a client, with the Chrome browser being the host on my other computer. The understanding now is that this will be different than Citrix’s Receiver products, which is aimed at using enterprise applications like SAP within Chrome OS.

Disable Outdated Plugins
With this option, any plugin that is out of date will automatically be disabled. The issue of plugins having vulnerabilities is an issue on a cloud OS that is supposed to provide for automatic updates. It will be interesting to see whether or not this will become a feature, which would seem to be the best idea to keep users from having to worry about old plugins.

XSS Auditor
This is another safety feature that arrived in Chromium at the same time as the outdated plugins flag. XSS allows for something called cross-site script injection which can put malicious code into your browser and then allow it to move on to other sites. Again, this seems like something that should come standard.

Background Webapps
Some web applications are going to require background processes to be running in order for them to work. This is a feature that may be required in future apps made by developers. It will notify users that there are app processes running via a number near the wrench icon. This is already a feature that is found in Chrome.

Click-to-Play
Click-to-play gives you the ability to choose what plugins run on a page . You have the option in the settings menu to determine whether or not you’ll see things on a site that you might deem annoying, like Flash advertising.

The first thing you need to do is install Picnik, it's an image editing web app. Download here. You'll need the picture you want to use as you profile pic on a USB drive. Plug it into your cr48. Load up picnik. Click on the upload a photo button.

Your usb will be in the panel on the left. Chose your picture and edit anyway you want. Then hit the save and share button on the right.

Choose png as your save format.

Click save photo.

In the dialog that appears you will be saving your picture to a location. In order to replace the current profile pic head to the chronos folder.

Find the PNG file that is your account name.Click on it and hit ok. Confirm that you want to replace it with the new one and then logout. Then shut down. When you restart you should then see your new profile pic.
