Wow, that's strange. But I'm glad it works for you now!

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Conboy 0.5.8 is on it´s way into extras for Chinook, Diablo and Fremantle.

This is only a maintenance release with only one bug fixed, but many new translations.
Thanks a lot to everyone who was involved in translating Conboy into the following languages:

• Arabic
• Dutch (Flemish)
• Finish
• French
• German
• Italian
• Polish
• Portuguese (Brazilian)
• Slovak
• Spanish (Castilian)
• Turkish

conboy-unstable 0.6.1.3 now supports synchronization with Ubuntu One. Give it a try and also check out the new fullscreen mode on Fremantle.

Sync should work on Diablo too, but there seems to be a problem with the browser. I've to look into that, please report if it works for you!

Ah the url which you have to enter is https://one.ubuntu.com/notes

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Hi,

I've created a small screencast which demonstrates synchronization between Conboy and Ubuntu One.

If someone wants to upload it to youtube or something like that, please do so and post the link here. Thanks!

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Yes. Please someone post to YouTube. I downloaded Firefox 3.5.5 which supposedly had ogg video compatibility natively, but it won't play this video.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

just download the file, and open it with VLC or kmplayer. Even windows media player can read it

@conny: Great application, I'll be giving the unstable version a try this week, and how it performs with sync

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

WMP can't read the file. Thanks for the heads up on VLC. I've seen the video. I'd like to check my understanding of Conboy and I've got the following questions:

1. a) Will Conboy allow multiple tags on entries, and then sorting along those tags?
1. b) If that is possible, is there any maximum allowable number?
2. Will Conboy allow sorting of items by date of creation for an item?
3. Is it/will it be searchable?

Thanks!

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Here is a avi/mp4 version. Maybe that works better for you.

An unlimited number of tags are supported by the file format, but currently Conboy does not make use of them. I'm not sure if I'll add support for that soon. If someone else want to help that would be of course cool :)

Currently you have two option for sorting. 'Sort by name' which sorts alphabetically and 'Sort by date' which sorts by the last changed date.

If you search, the fulltext of all notes is searched. This even happens while you type, so it's very convenient. In fact I've always have the notes sorted by last change date and then just search. Never felt the need to have something else ;)

All of this is already available in the stable 0.5.x. The new 0.6.x mainly brings a new single window UI and the synchronization.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Any more word on how this works in Diablo. Any way to make the browswer confirmation work in Tear in case it handles it better?

I just got my Tomboy notes on my laptop synced to Ubuntu One, Conboy is waiting.

Also, how "unstable" is the devel version? I can give it a try but I don't want to mess up my tablet.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

The unstable version is not that unstable. It won't mess up your tablet, but it might mess up your notes. So back them up before and everything should be fine. Include notes on Ubuntu One in the backup as well.

I did only test in once on Diablo and the problem there was, that the browser was not redirecting to Conboy after the authentication. Because of that Conboy didn't receive the necessary authentication information from Ubuntu one and thus could not sync.

I'm not sure where the problem lies. Maybe I should clean up my N810?! No idea how/if it works with tear, but it would be great if you could give it a try.

As I said, don't worry about your tablet. Just be a bit careful with your notes.
