Hi!

There is no database involved. The "hashes" you see are in fact UUIDs or GUIDs, their only purpose it to give each note a unique identifier. To obtain such a UUID you can, for example, call "cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid" on a Linux shell. There are also web based tools like this.

So just give your notes each a UUID as filename and copy them into the /home/user/.conboy/ directory. Do this while Conboy is not running. Then start Conboy and your notes should show up just fine. At least if you created the proper xml format
