Hi Richie,

This bug has been filed here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560738

There is a patch on the way to fix it for Tomboy 1.2. Please let us
know if you run into any other issues.

Best,
Sandy

os x shortcut keys don't use Command

2009-11-08T08:56:22Z

Hi,

I have been a longer user of Tomboy on Ubuntu and I recently bought a Mac. I have Tomboy installed there and it works great so far, but I noticed that hotkeys still use the 'PC' way instead of the 'Mac' way - that is, you have to use Control instead of the Apply/Command button. I don't know if this is known, or unimportant to others, but I like having the hotkeys consistent for closing windows and programs.

Just my 2cents,
Richie

In this case, what we are pushing for is to use a Tomboy-specific
online service for syncing your notes, and then to use Tomdroid on
your Android device. This is still work-in-progress, but I hope it
will all be ready by the time Tomboy 1.2 is released in March.

Right now you can use Canonical's proprietary Ubuntu One service to
sync your notes to the cloud, and soon we will be releasing Tomboy
Online, which is just a hosted instance of our AGPL Snowy software.
This means that anyone with the desire to host their own personal
Tomboy Online could do so. Other online services like Midgard are
also compatible with Tomboy's web synchronization.

With both of these services, you should be able to browse your notes
from any web browser on any device. But there is a branch of Tomdroid
which supports synchronization with these services, and hopefully that
will be merged for release soon.

As for the rest of your post, I really don't know anything about
Evernote, and can't really help. But other people on this list have
expressed interest in syncing with Evernote, so maybe there are some
people out there who already have ideas on how to implement
Tomboy<->Evernote sync.

I'm interested in some form of sync with Evernote too. I use Tomboy
both on my netbook and my work laptop. Having them sync'd through the
cloud would allow me to access them from my mobile (Android based
smartphone in case you're interested) easily.
even though this idea sounds great, I was wondering how exactly a
plugin or other kind of software implementing this feature should
work.
Sending note files as they are, with tags and all kind of metadata,
probably isn't a good idea: tuu much stuff that gets in the way when
you try to read the note through web/desktop app/mobile app. Some kind
of editing must be done before sending the content to Evernote (using
the HTML export feature maybe?).
Even if we/you can manage to export the notes in a readable format,
how would the plugin know which note it has to update when you start
the sync? Some exploration of the capabilities of Evernote's desktop
app (closed source and Windows only, though it runs fine in wine) may
do the trick here, if there's some way to access its database
directly. Syncing through it could even be simple and wouldn't be too
restricting, because everyone using Evernote probably has the desktop
app installed on every pc where he/she has Tomboy.
I'll try and browse the docs of the app. Has anyone started
researching on this subject?
Do you have any idea about how this feature should work?

Yes, Tomboy on Windows runs fine. Some kind of Android
port/app/whatever would be nice too ;)
Jokes aside, and sorry for the partial thread hijacking: does anyone
here know whether there's some kind of application around to read/sync
tomboy notes on an Android device?

The Tomboy team is not working on Evernote sync, and it is not on our
roadmap, which you can check out here:

http://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/RoadMap

It has been suggested as a useful feature on the PlaceForNewIdeas
page, but nobody has shared any actual code, as far as I am aware.

Since as far as I know nobody is working on Evernote sync at this
time, the only way you could help is by writing code (or
finding/paying somebody to write code). Otherwise, I suggest staying
subscribed to this email list so you can find out if anybody does
start such a project.

Sorry I don't have better news for you. On the plus side, Tomboy is
available for Windows. If it becomes available for iPhone I'm sure
that would be announced here as well.

Evernote sync

2009-10-27T12:00:05Z

Hi there,
I'm a great fan of tomboy on my ubuntu netbook, but also of evernote
on my iphone and my work windows pc. As for now, it seems that there's
no intention of porting evernote for linux, but there's been some
discussions about a syncing plugin in the tomboy team. It's even in
the roadmap at the website!

I wanted to ask about the progress of making the evernote sync plugin.
Who is working on this? How can i help? I'm not much of a programmer,
but i can beta test & report bugs.

Cheers,

Actually, right now there is nothing else you can do with templates
besides the very basic feature you've seen. You cannot specify any
sort of "dynamic" content like a timestamp, and you cannot make things
auto-delete. For the first idea, patches are welcome if you or
someone you know likes to program.

On Windows, Mono is not used, so you don't need to specify anything there. ;-)

Unfortunately, there is no way for you to fix this...it is a low-level
bug in gtk-sharp that needs to be fixed by someone familiar with that
code. One way to work around this is to export the note to HTML, open
it in your favorite browser, and print from there.

Hope this helps,
Sandy

I want to learn how I can format and use templates.

How do I insert a timestamp into a Template?

How can I auto delete notes created with Templates a la Note of the Day?

What else can I do with Templates--besides making custom templates for each Notebook I've created.

Scheduling the Tomboy 1.2 Planning Meeting

2009-10-01T21:03:31Z

Hey Everybody,

We've had an exciting cycle getting 1.0 out the door, but as my
grandma likes to say, "you can sleep when you're dead". In other
words, it's time to plan our roadmap for Tomboy 1.2 and beyond.

I'd like to have a meeting in IRC next week if possible. I've started
getting plans together on this wiki page (feel free to add your own
items to the agenda):

http://live.gnome.org/Tomboy/DevMeetingOnePointTwo/Plan

To get the scheduling discussion started I'd like to propose that we
have our meeting Thursday, October 8th, at 19:30 UTC (aka 12:30 PDT
[0]).

If you would like to attend but that date/time doesn't work for you,
please let me know ASAP. We should finalize this some time on Monday.

Looking forward to another fun chat,
Sandy

This is something that interests me. No time to hack right now, but

Also attached is a screenshot of how it looks right now, so you can

Hmm, I hadn't really thought about Snowy packaging. If we were to do
that, they'd have to be in a separate PPA, but there's no reason it
couldn't be managed by the same Launchpad team, at least initially.

I don't have any short-term plans to package Snowy in there, but if
you or anyone else wanted to work on that, it would be very welcome.
:-)

New official Ubuntu PPA for Tomboy

2009-09-22T06:22:06Z

Hey all,

I am pleased to announce that thanks to the hard work of Alan Pope
(and some help from the awesome Jorge Castro), we now have an official
PPA for the Tomboy project.

At this point, we are supporting 9.04 (Jaunty) and 9.10 (Karmic).

Technically, there are two PPAs for two distinct purposes:

Stable
https://launchpad.net/~tomboy-packagers/+archive/stable
--
Provide the latest stable release of Tomboy to users when they can't
get it from the main repositories. Ubuntu Jaunty users may be
familiar with some bugs that were fixed in stable 0.14.x releases, but
which did not get into Ubuntu's main repository (still stuck on
0.14.0). If we had had this PPA six months ago, we could have
recommended that those affected by such bugs use our packages instead.
:-) Now, Jaunty users can upgrade directly to Tomboy 1.0.0! And
this time around, Karmic users can count on availability of supported
1.0.x packages from us if any issues arise (but hopefully with better
communication that won't really be a problem this time).

Development (no packages yet, since there is no development release
since 1.0.0 yet)
https://launchpad.net/~tomboy-packagers/+archive/development
--
Provide the latest development release of Tomboy to users who want to
help with testing or try the latest features, but don't have time to
build from source. If you are using Ubuntu+1, Ubuntu's great
packagers already provide you with the latest development release.
But if you're using a released version of Ubuntu, now you can get
packages for testing straight from our PPA. Please remember that
development releases often contain new features which could change,
break, go away, or even mess with your notes. Frequent backups
recommended.

So please try out Alan's 1.0.0 packages, and let us know if you run
into any issues, or if you want to help out with packaging or other
downstream work. Part of all this is that the tomboy-packagers team
now controls https://launchpad.net/tomboy , so if you have suggestions
for cleaning that up, they are welcome.

Thanks,
Sandy

ANNOUNCE: Tomboy 1.0.0 Released (new stable release)

2009-09-21T19:48:20Z

Hi Everyone,

Earlier today we released Tomboy 1.0.0, the first release of the
stable 1.0.x series, which coincides with GNOME 2.28.0.

Tomboy 1.0.0 represents not only six months of work since our latest cycle
began, but five years of work since Alex Graveley made the first check-in to
Tomboy CVS.

This release is dedicated to Alex for creating such an incredible tool,
Boyd Timothy for all the time he put in as co-maintainer, and everyone
who has contributed patches, documentation, or translations, sent bug reports,
helped others on the list or in IRC, written blogs and articles, or even
just stopped by to say "thanks" and remind us why we do this. :-)

Tomboy has been branched as "gnome-2-28" for stable (1.0.x)
development. Git master is now open for new feature development
(1.1.x).

What is Tomboy?
==================================================

Tomboy is a simple personal note-taking application designed to be
unobtrusive and friendly, while supporting inter-note-links similar to
a Wiki to help you organize your notes and ideas. It can run either as
a GNOME panel applet or a notification tray icon, and is also supported
in your Windows tray or Mac OS X dock.

==================================================

Some tentative, overly-optimistic plans for the next release cycle include:
* Access your notes everywhere with work on Tomboy Online, Tomdroid, etc
* Automatic synchronization
* Note sharing and collaboration via Telepathy (*nix-only)
* Better OS X experience
* Customizable simplified note UI
* A new innnovative workflow for simple task lists
* Rethinking notebooks and search
* More performance work
* Brainstorming for how Tomboy should fit into gnome-shell
* Your awesome ideas!

But we haven't had our roadmap meeting yet, so we'll see what the community
decides during this public meeting (date and time TBD).

Big Thank You
==================================================

Re: Advice with webdav and syncing

2009-09-16T14:03:00Z

So, this is the command Tomboy runs to mount your WebDav share.

/usr/bin/wdfs /home/gregory.machin/.tomboy/sync-wdfs -a
http://www.linuxpro.co.nz/dav/ -u greg@... -p ***** -o
fsname=tomboywdfs

Try running this command yourself so you can see what the error is.
Obviously, you want to replace ***** with your actual password. ;-)

Hope this helps,
Sandy

Thanks Sandy for reminding me to use debugging

here it the out put ...

Re: Advice with webdav and syncing

Personally I don't really know anything about WebDav. If you run
Tomboy from a terminal with `tomboy --debug`, you will see exactly
what command Tomboy is using to mount your webdav server.

Assuming you have the same problem when you manually run that command,
you've reduced the problem down to an issue with wdfs or with your
server, and there should be some folks who know more about that stuff
in other places who can help.

Or maybe you'll luck out and somebody on the list has a clue about it. :-)

Advice with webdav and syncing

2009-09-16T13:09:52Z

Hi
I have installed virtualmin with the dav module. And I'm trying to get
tomboy to sync with my dav server. I get an error, saying "in not a
webdav enabled server." and in the logs I have the following.

neon/0.28.5"
41.19.57.35 - greg@... [16/Sep/2009:19:06:42 +0000]
"PROPFIND /dav/autorun.inf HTTP/1.1" 404 297 "-" "wdfs/1.4.2
neon/0.28.5"
41.19.57.35 - - [16/Sep/2009:19:23:24 +0000] "OPTIONS /dav/ HTTP/1.1"
200 - "-" "-"
41.19.57.35 - - [16/Sep/2009:19:23:57 +0000] "OPTIONS /dav/ HTTP/1.1"
200 - "-" "-"

I gather from this that it's looking for autorun.ini file .. What
should be in this file ?
What else do I need to do to get this to work ?

Thank you.
Greg

NO! :-)

If a note has not been modified since revision N, it will still be in
the directory for revision N.

Something I was wondering for a long time: Is it save to delete the
old sync revisions, since they are not used as a history?

Disclaimer: You really shouldn't be messing with this stuff, but since
you asked... ;-)

The folder structure is undocumented, and based on a strategy SVN's
FSFS backend uses to fake transactions. The numbered folders
represent sync revisions, but don't let that fool you...we don't
actually store the old versions, so you do not have note history.

The top-level manifest.xml is a copy from the most recent revision
folder's manifest.xml, and basically is an index of what notes are on
the server and what their last sync revision was. The top-level 0
folder will contain folders 0-999...if you sync more than a thousand
times folders 1000-1999 will go in a top-level 1 folder. This idea is
also copied from SVN, for operating systems and file systems that have
trouble with directories containing too many items.

Option 1:
Well, since sync is a manual process (you choose when to click the
"sync" menu item), if you carry your USB key around with you most of
the time, you can just sync to a folder on the USB key (only when you
have it connected). This sounds like what you want.

Option 2:
In Tomboy 0.15.6 or later, notes have moved into their own directory
[0] away from configuration data, and it is safe to directly
synchronize the note directory however you like. If you do this while
Tomboy is running, you need to enable the NoteDirectoryWatcher add-in,
which enables Tomboy to properly recognize when another process has
modified its note files. Some popular ways to perform ad-hoc sync
like this:
* rsync
* DropBox
* iFolder

Option 3:
In Tomboy 0.15.7 or later, you can choose to sync your notes to an
online service that implements a particular web API. Unfortunately,
all such services are still in development. But in the next month or
two you can expect support from:
* Tomboy Online
* Ubuntu One
* Midgard2
Right now, the only server that properly supports the API is the
project called Snowy [1], which will power Tomboy Online. But
although sync works fine, things like security are in a pre-alpha
state, so use with caution. If you are interested in setting up your
own Snowy server, you might want to check out the mailing list [2].

We are actively working on making sync as easy as possible, but as you
can see, although you have several options, none are currently as easy
as you might like. Suggestions (and of course, patches) are welcome!
:-)

Hope this helps,
Sandy

Sync forlder structure and Export strategy explain - Help

2009-09-15T18:23:16Z

Ubuntu Jaunty - Tomboy .14.0

Current:
Tomboy on PC1 syncs its notes on a Local Folder on an external USB HD.

Question1:
What is the folder structure? Is similar to an incremental backup folder structure? There are several folder 0, 1, 2, etc. and .xml file in each of them. There is also a global xml file in the sync folder.

Question2 - Related:
What is the best way to Export notes from PC1 to PC2 and vice and versa using a USB key or USB HD (not a share on the Internet).

Sync implies 2 devices regularly connected to a single share and updated in the same time. This is not my case. I have PC1 (stand alone desktop) with some notes and PC2 (stand alone notebook) with other notes. When I use PC2 I need to have all the note from PC1. When I finish to work on PC2, I need to export all the notes back to PC1.

Any advice welcome. Thanks

Thank you for asking. Permission granted.
I don't know much about mallard, but switching to CC license seems
like a positive change!

We have high-priority bugs filed about this, but they are not yet
fixed. I'm sorry to hear about your problems; in most cases it is not
possible to name a note with a single character, so normally the
impact of renaming is not so drastic. In your case it was clearly
disastrous. I'm sorry we don't have a fix out yet.

Tomboy/Watchers.cs for the most part.

Feel free to bug me in IRC (#tomboy on GIMPNet) if you need a hand.

You can expect an official fix next cycle, but the stable release for
that won't be out for six months.

disable auto-linking?

2009-09-11T13:50:19Z

Is there any way to disable auto-linking? Sure, it can be nice, but I am a heavy user of Tomboy, and this autolinking stuff has gotten so bad I think I may need to look for something else. The contents of my notes are constantly changing because I'll create a note and rename it. Just today, 10 of my notes appeared at the top of the list, meaning they had been updated, and the lone letter "c" (uppercase and lowercase) in certain cases was replaced with "cascade 6.2.1 upgrade," which is a note I've since deleted and now it's all dead links. I must've waited too long from the time I typed the first c of the note until I typed the rest. At any rate, this is ridiculous. I need to disable this auto-linking. I don't want it. Not for notes, definitely not for files in my filesystem (something I've never used). URLs are nice, emails are okay, but I need a way to disable the rest. I've got so much stuff that's been renamed, some of it's not even readable, and I've got dead links everywhere from where I've cleaned up unused notes.

What's this written in? C-sharp? Heck, I've never coded in C-sharp before, it's been years since I've coded in C++, and I'm too busy to mess with this, but somebody point me to the lines where I can disable this stuff and I'll do it until somebody codes a nice little plugin or option to disable this...

Awesome! This will make updating and contributing to Tomboy
documentation a lot easier, I think.

Well you have my permission. I'll do what I can to help track down
everyone else involved if they don't respond here.

Re-licensing Tomboy Documentation

2009-09-11T06:34:45Z

Hi,

For the 2.30 cycle, I would like to port the Tomboy documentation from Docbook to the new GNOME documentation language, Mallard.

Benefits include:

* Topic based documentation (rather than task based)
* Improved layout, including the ability to link to other pages in the docs rather than a strict hierarchical layout
* Ability for downstream to easily modify or add content

As part of this, the GNOME documentation team is moving all docs where possible from a GFDL license to CC-SA 3.0 (attribution is inherent in all 3.0 CC licenses)

To do this, I need each writer's permission to re-use content, or re-write the documentation from scratch. Since we've only had four other contributors in addition to myself, I thought I'd ask first. These include:

* Sandy Armstrong
* Boyd Timothy
* Alex Gravely
* Brent Smith

If you could reply to the list with your approval (or dis-approval / concerns), it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Paul

Sorry about my previous message. I figured it out. I had to clear my

Synchronization problems

2009-09-11T02:20:08Z

I am trying to change the synchronization settings in 'preferences' but
I can't because the service menu is disabled (shadowed). I'm working
with several computers and this happens in all of them (even in one with
Windows). Is there something very obvious that I'm missing? I had
managed to change the settings before.

JM

By the way, thanks for fixing the update for ubuntu. It worked like a charm.

Okay, feel free to file bugs for anything that doesn't seem to work
right, I do care about a11y (it's my day job) and testing, but don't
always catch issues in Tomboy.

Once this stuff is in Mago, we should add something on the Tomboy wiki
helping people get started using/expanding the tests.

Okay, I'm cool keeping stuff in Tomboy git if that ends up being more
convenient, just fyi.

Great news, Michael! Tomboy could use these sorts of tests, and
presumably since they're built on LDTP, they are also a good test of
our a11y support.

For sure. Most of its seemed fine but I have found a problem with the panel applet. You can invoke the "menu" action on the panel but not the "activate" action. I though I would try writing a simple mono panel applet to see if the problem is on Tomboy or Mono. (menu=right-click, activate=left-click).

Do the tests go in Tomboy git or in Mago itself?

For now the tests end up in Mago's (bzr branch lp:mago). In the long term I think the idea would be to package up the tests separately from mago test runner. Right now there are only a few apps with test suites.

Great news, Michael! Tomboy could use these sorts of tests, and
presumably since they're built on LDTP, they are also a good test of
our a11y support.

Do the tests go in Tomboy git or in Mago itself?
