Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

I voted for both as well.
Trying to install it (via apt-get), I got an error message that said a package could not be authenticated, doing an "apt-get update" solved the problem and now I am very happy with conboy.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

There have been two updates, latest at 0.6.3.9 - since they do not seem to address the sync issues, I assume they are for something else?

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

Jup, as I said earlier, those are test builds as there have been some patches included by other people and we need to make sure that everything still builds on the maemo infrastructure. Also some tests have been done regarding those bugs posted earlier.

There will probably be more test builds during the next days. If I find time to actually implement real functionality (read sync), I´ll let you know right here :)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

FYI, I was just able to update/sync Conboy successfully, even though the same error occurred. Specifically, *to* Conboy only was updated. When I tried to sync new data *from* Conboy it crashed, and no changes to the server occurred.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

yea, that crash is a result of the u1 servers not working. I have to check that error condition. The main problem now is that u1 returns a 500 server error. I hope they will fix that soon, otherwise I can't do developement over the weekend :(

Here is what the U1 web site is currently saying:

Don't worry. This is a temporary problem and your data is secure. We have been alerted of the issue and will resolve it promptly. You can also chat with us directly to get the latest information on the issue.

I've added a check, so the next version won't crash in that case and instead displays a dialog.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

Great app. I'm enjoying it greatly -- particularly now that I have sync working with Ubuntu One and my Win7 box. But I have one puzzlement...

Under "Settings" there is a checkbox option labeled "XML Storage Backend". I've never seen anyone mention it here. I have looked at the raw data files and seen that they are XML or at least XML-like. So what would happen if I unchecked that box? It doesn't seem to make sense that the XML files would disappear or go unused. (Where would the data be then?)

And since it _is_ an option, what's the use case for UNselecting "XML Storage Backend"?

The u1 servers appear to be up and running this morning. I was able to sync all my Tomboys.

Yea, that's a bit confusing and I should probably do something about it. If you install more plug-ins (there is currently only conboy-midgard) it will make more sense, because then you can choose which plug-ins should be activated. If, however, you only have the default plug-in (which is the XML backend) it dosn't make sens to deactivate it. If you deactivate it, Conboy is simply useless :)
I should probably implement, that if there is only one plug-in, then the selection should not be shown at all. I'll see what I can do.
