Hi Conny,

thanks for the great app. It's also very nice that it seems to open faster than almost any other app on the phone. Also the indent/bullet button is handy since i use the app mostly for todo-lists.

I am interested in using the sync through ubuntu one (I use tomboy on ubuntu), but I am feeling quite stupid atm since I can't seem to find anything about sharing anywhere in the conboy interface. I am using conboy 0.6.3 from extras on fremantle. Where can I configure conboy for syncing through ubuntu one?

thanks in advance

Sync is currently only available in the extras-devel version, because it's not completely stable yet. If you give it a try, please create a backup of your notes first (By using the backup app, or by copying /home/user/.conboy/ to a save place).

Feedback would be very welcome :)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

Hi, thanks for your suggestions, but let me first say, that I'm not sure when/if I can realize them. My time is really limited and unfortunately Conboy is still very much a one man show. Also the uncertain situation about GTK apps on MeeGo is quite demotivating (but that another topic). But let's see....

Any chance of a feature from Tomboy where when you search in search all notes and then it narrows it down to notes with that search result, when you go into a note the search term is highlighted?

Highlighting the search results is missing. True. Could you please file an enhancement request for that in bugzilla, so I won't forget about it.

Also I note that the search in Conboy is not exact phrase match (which is maybe why it does not highlight the search term when you go into a note). Any chance an exact phrase match search could be implemented. Peharps by adding quotations to the start and end of the search term.

I have to look into that. Not sure if it's easily possible. Tomboy is also not doing it. If it's important for you please file another/separate enhancement request.

Finally on search when you search inside a note the search is case sensitive. So if the term is Student and the note contains student it will show as not having any results when you search. Anyway to change this so it shows matching results whether the first letter is upper or lower case? Bear in mind that there is no way to change the first letter of your search from uppercase. When you type the first letter is uppercase and even if you press shift it is still uppercase. So to search to see if the word appears in the middle of the sentence I have to type Sstudent then delete the first S.

Yea, I've always wanted the search to be case insensitive. Unfortunately the GTK API made this really hard. I would say it even qualifies as bug. So please file it.

One final thing (sorry for going on so much) I don't know if this has been mentioned but if I try to create a new linked note and the items selected in the original note are many lines Conboy closes up without creating the linked note. My notes are generally long lists with one word on each line - so don't know if it is the same result if for example you select one paragraph with alot of text.

That also look like a bug. Please file it as well.

Sorry for putting the load on you, but I'll simply forget about it if I don't have a proper bug report. Thanks for using/testing/reporting :)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

.24 now in extras-devel fixes the crash after sharing. Last version for today :)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

thanks Conny, I love this app and use it a lot!

A little feedback on the sharing by email. Personally, I'd prefer it if all the content of the note was displayed in the body of the email, instead of as an attachment.

Is that functionality possible?

Thanks for the feedback! But unfortunately I can´t change how the sharing is working. The behavior is defined by the Maemo platform. I can only pass in a file and the platform decides that it should be an attachment. There´s nothing I can do about it - sorry :(

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

I try to sync conboy with ubuntu one and it crashes when i press syncronization button in the menu. It gives an internal error and crashes to maemo desktop. Any ideas what is wrong?

Could you please start conboy from the terminal, then try to sync and paste the output you get in the terminal here or send it via PM. It's still not as stable as I want it to be, so this could help me find some more bugs.

Thanks!

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

Hi, great app it has thunderously helpful.
I wanted to ask if there would be any chance of a desktop widget to show a specific note? Not allow editing, just show a note and when you click on it it would open the note in conboy?

Thanks!

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)

I was just using conboy to sync up some notes I have in Tomboy on my laptop so I can take a list to the hardware store, and I wanted to praise your app again. This (in concert with using Tomboy on Linux and Windows, and syncing it all with ubuntu one) is just great and is so useful. I haven't logged in to Evernote or used the yellow notes in Outlook since I started using this combo of apps. Thanks for your work on this!
