Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

It might be, that you've been hit by a bug where notes are corrupted upon save. I still didn't find a way to reproduce this bug, but the latest -devel version has some code to detect this corruption. More on that in a new post shortly.

Anyways, I'm really sorry you're having this kind of trouble - I'm working on it...

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Strange, maybe the plugin is not supported on Windows.

GNote is AFAIK not available on Windows.

You don't have to install anything. Ubuntu One is a web service. http://one.ubuntu.com

If anything, I guess XHTML will be first. Also please be aware that this would probably be export only.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Extras-Devel now contains version 0.6.3.6. This version is mainly meant for debugging the rarely/random note corruption.

• Notes are saved every 4 seconds now. Only of course if something has changed.
• If the XML is corrupted no save will occur. Instead the XML is generated again. After that a banner is shown telling you whether or not the corruption still exists.

Please give it a try and report the messages you get here. The banner reads "Second save successful" if recreating the XML did help. It will read "Second save NOT successful" if the generated XML is still invalid.

If the note is corrupted, it is not saved. Therefore it should be save to quit Conboy and try again. The saved note should never be older then 4 seconds.

It would be great if you all can help testing, because this error does not occur often enough here to get usable data. As always: Please do a backup of your notes first.

But Ubuntu One doesn't work on Windows, does it?

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Well, it depends, what "work" means ;) You can, of course, use the web interface using windows. And you can sync Windows-Tomboy with Ubuntu One. AFAIK you don´t have a native file-sync solution between Windows and U1. Not sure what else U1 offers, never really looked at anything besides note sync.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

XHTML would be a great start, but hopefully RTF will happen, too.

I did manage to succeed with Conboy<>one.ubuntu<>Tomboy (Windows 7) sync, so for anyone interested it does work. Conboy syncs perfectly with one.ubuntu, with no issues I can see, but Tomboy has at least one serious bullet list formatting issue (on Win 7, it seems) with one.ubuntu sync. In short, it deformats them. Other text seems okay.

Also, It is not possible to print a Tomboy note in Windows 7. The print dialog is missing the add printer button, and selecting a printer manually does not work at all. :rolleyes:

Thanks again for all your suggestions. :)


[edit] There is recent beta of Tomboy (1.1.4), which corrects the issues I mentioned above. :)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Can someone help me with: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...067#post574067

I'm VERY stuck at this! :(

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

[text feature request]

Current versions of Conboy do not have underline as a text format option; Tomboy does, however. When syncing between the two (one.ubuntu), Tomboy underlined text is transferred, but it is not possible to format underlined text in Conboy.

It seems this is something that no one has requested before; I didn't see any mention of it in this thread. (I didn't notice it missing until I downloaded Tomboy.)

[edit] ... and it would be great if Conboy could also "insert time stamp," as in Tomboy.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Tomboy just recently added the "underline text" plug-in to the default installation. I've created a feature request for Conboy here: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9656

Hmm, yea, certainly would be nice. The problem is that besides the timestamp plug-in there are another 20 (or more) plug-ins for Tomboy. It won't be feasible to support them all. So I'll mostly concentrate on the core. Anyways, please feel free to also add it as a feature request to bugzilla. Maybe one day I'm completely bored and will be happy to implement this feature ;)

Seriously, please add it. It's good to collect requirements and if people are voting for it, I can see that there is high demand for it. Also it might be that someone else wants to implement it.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Good idea.

It's true there are a quite a few plug-ins, but only one of them relates specifically to basic text formatting - underline, and so it jumps out as a "conspicuous" absense in Conboy. The time stamp request is a convenience, but seems to make good sense for note taking. Just my $.02. :)
