Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Eh, no worries. I find Maemo 5 autocomplete to be less than absolutely stellar anyways, probably only a 5-10 percent bump in typing speed. Thanks for looking and happy holidays.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Would love to know this as well. I have tried to do this but they seem to have very different and incompatible file types. If you just upload your note directly it will just come up as a document containing all sorts of coding in it (like if you open a Tomboy note with Word Pad).

If you copy and paste to google docs or Word then you lose your formatting. And my formatting is very important to me.

I just spent the afternoon getting about 80 of my notes into google docs in a manner which preserves my formatting. Very slow and painful process. And still have over a 100 to go but have parked these for now cause just do not have the strength to do that anytime soon. Hopefully someone will find a solution.

Anyway how I got them into google docs with formatting preserved was I synced with ubuntu. Then I had to go into each doc and copy and paste the text of the notes into google docs as new documents. Could not find any other way to get my docs there with formatting preserved.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

I never used Google Docs, so I don't know. For Android, have a look at Tomdroid.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

oh ok! im jus thinking of a fuss free way to port my notes over to my new phone that runs on Android. So you guys think i should use Tomdroid for that then? Is there like a sync function??

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Well, I never used Tomdroid, but it's supposed to sync with Tomboy-Online / Ubuntu One / Snowy. So simply sync Conboy to one of those services and then sync Tomdroid and everything should be fine :)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

I'm having trouble with syncing conboy with ubuntu one. I have a note stored there that was created in tomboy on my computer, but conboy won't download it. Notes created on conboy are synced perfectly.

Any ideas?

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Ok, I managed to solve the problem by updating the note from my computer and then syncing. That bumped the latest-sync-revision property of the note from 0 to 1, making conboy notice it.

To me that seems like a bug in conboy: It should not ignore notes it hasn't seen, even if the latest-sync-revision property is 0.

Automatic sync to Ubuntu One?
 

Syncing with Ubuntu One works like a charm for me. As the lazy person, I am I wish I the N900 could sync automatically, so I wouldn't need to remember to push the sync button after every change.

To reduce costs would be nice to have options like this:
If the options are there already, maybe somebody can point me in the proper direction?

After some research I found related that is more than 6 month old. Any news?

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

two questions popped into my mind re conboy sync:
* why doesnt conboy sync button press bring up the connection selection dialog automatically?
* is it possible on maemo to automatically load wifi kernel module before whenever connection selection dialog is shown + unload kernel module when connection is dropped/disconnected?

Re: Automatic sync to Ubuntu One?
 

Yes, that would be nice. I've not implemented it right away, because I wasn't sure if the sync code is stable enough yet. Currently it looks like still some people have troubles from time to time, but it could be added as an option of course.

These options would make sense and it is possible to ask the system about those and in application code react accordingly. We "only" need someone to implement that. Also I'd welcome CLI sync as well.

Unfortunately I'm quite busy with non-Conboy stuff, so I doubt I can do it anytime soon. Of course if someone here wants to help out and send patches I'll integrate them.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Because I've not implement it yet :) But I agree, it should be that way.

No idea. Sorry.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

is it just me or is editing disabled in portrait mode? now with @thp's latest cssu patches, rotation and portrait keyboard have become usable.

how about a standard full-screen icon on the toolbar? it's something i'm constantly wishing for.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

checking out source code, preparing to learn how to patch and build conboy. will be setting up the repo on github.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Yes, please do so. Did you also contact me via email lately? There have been a couple of people interested in Conboy development lately. I encouraged them to go ahead and send me patches, but none of them actually sent anything so far. Probably has to do something with the poor state of the code... Sorry about that :/

Anyway, you're welcome to send me patches or (of course) set it up on github.

Regarding you're questions: Yes, text input is disabled in portrait mode, but it's trivial to re-enable it. The reason I disabled it was, that whenever you touched the text box in portrait mode, the landscape keyboard came on and rotated everything back to landscape mode. So portrait mode didn't really work at all.

Having a fullscreen button on the toolbar is, of course, also easy to do. I just decided against it, because for me this button is not that important. Also you can use Ctrl+Enter :)

Looking forward to your contributions!

thanks! just got conboy's bugs.m.o query into Tasktop so task list is under control now.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Arg, this morning I got bite by the "timestamp" bug, any idea of how to solve it ? I'm using Conboy 0.6.7.0, and it definitely won't sync, could it be ubuntu one server's fault ?

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Help ! Damn, this thing worked so good that took it for granted :(

EDIT I solved it by changing time one hour back, to get closer to GMT. I feel dirty.img, #cubbies-overlay{ -moz-transition-property: margin, box-shadow, z-index; -moz-transition-duration: 0.1s; -webkit-transition-property: margin, box-shadow, z-index; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.1s; } .cubbies-selected{ z-index: 9999; box-shadow: 3px 3px 8px -1px blue !important; cursor: pointer !important; margin: -3px 3px 3px -3px; } .cubbies-selected:active{ box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px -1px darkblue !important; margin: -1px 1px 1px -1px; } #cubbies-overlay{ position: fixed; z-index: 9999; bottom: 30px; left: 30px; box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.8); border: none; } #cubbies-overlay:hover{ box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgb(0,0,0); }

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Sorry, couldn't reply earlier but I'm happy you could solve the problem :)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

conny, since i got the n950 from meego meetup yesterday, my big priority will be getting tomboy ported over to harmattan. but im not sure gtk makes sense. its gonna have to be qt-rewritten. what are your thoughts on this?

did you also apply for the devkit?

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

I'll also get a N950. Hopefully soon :) I think we have to rewrite the code, using the Gtk code base won't work. But probably we can borrow some code.

I currently have much less time than when I started Conboy, so I'd like to do this as a group effort. Are you interested? What are you're coding skills? The name could be Cuteboy :)

I'm busy over the weekend, so sorry if it takes me some time to reply.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

im just diving into Qt. a huge *** NO to Cuteboy. Conboy is just fine IMHO, but it could be incremented to Conboy2 or just Conboy 2.0 (1.99 while developing).

the fact that gtk never made it 1.0 probably doesnt matter that much :)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Are there specific areas/features you'd like to develop?

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

haven't been thinking about it at all. i guess i'd just start going step by step trying to get feature parity with conboy 0.7.0. then in that process ideas come up for optimizations and redesign + new features. i am too unfamiliar with codebase right now to say anything meaningful.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

I'm just asking because I think a joint effort would make sense. There are others (and me of course) interested as well. So I'm trying to gather everyone to see what we can do together.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

for sure, but i am not sure that's doable in this forum. more like scheduled meeting in skype group chat or irc to kick things off? like i said, i for one don't even know what some feasible choices would be and have no idea who these others contributors are.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Sure. I'm currently checking if there are actually more contributers. Could also be that they lost interest. Also I'll set up a project with some boot strapping code.

Currently the single biggest challenge is to find (or probably write) a good QML text widget that allows to edit rich text. Displaying is possible with QMLs TextEdit, but the edit capabilities are almost zero.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

i created #conboy on irc.gnome.org, same network where #tomboy and #snowy channels are. it probably doesn't make sense to have it on freenode or whatnot because of this "upstream" relation.

so whoever is interested, hop on by and say hi.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Thanks for pushing things forward. I have to leave again in a couple of minutes, so I can't join. Sorry. Tomorrow I'll have more time. See you!

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

I've just sent the following message to about 10 people. But of course everyone is invited to join, so here it comes again:

-------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys,

I'm writing you because at some point you've been involved in Conboy
development or you have signaled that you want to get involved.

I'm currently looking for people who like to join the effort to develop
a Qt/QML version of Conboy. Target platforms would probably be the new
Nokia N9 and N950, Symbian devices and MeeGo tablets/phones.

If you are interested please post on this forum thread[1], come to
IRC[2] or directly reply to me.

This will be a completely new project. So don't worry, you don't have to
deal with all the old source code. Instead you can create something new
and beautiful :)

Hoping to hear from you!

Cheers,
Conny

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

here's something sandy from #tomboy pointed me to:

http://code.google.com/p/qtnote/

based on changelog, looks like it's actively being worked on.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Looks interesting.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Compiles and runs fine. But it seems that it only displays plain text, not rich-text.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Is there any progress on conboy?
Is anybody working on a version for Harmattan?
I know Harmattan is a dead end, but if there is already a half working version, it might be better than nothing.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Yes, I'm working on it. Progress is a bit slow since I'm the only developer and I have lots of other things to do as well...

Code is here:

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

I have two questions for you.

- Any plans for the introduction of the categories? (education, work, home) I now have about a hundred entries. I'd like to organize.

- When you start the synchronization, this error is issued:
PS when downloading the version specified 0.7
but the information inside the program - About Conboy 0.6.7.0

thank you

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

good to know that you are working on it. I'll continue working on my clone as soon as I get my main project into good enough state.

I already have couple ideas concerning the functionality etc.

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

I found why this error occurred when synchronizing
in Russia no longer transfer time (Summer / Winter)
time is very different
--------------------------
where can I download a previous version? In this version does not work search within your notes. (in Russian)

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Hi IDis,
I'm not exactly sure what causes this error and unfortunately I can't check because my N900 has died a couple of month ago :(

You can find older versions of Conboy here:
http://maemo.org/packages/view/conboy/

Re: Conboy - Note Taking Application (Tomboy clone)
 

Hi,

my N900 died a couple of month ago and I'm loosing the interest in Maemo5. Therefore I announce that I won't further develop Conboy for Maemo5 (nor Maemo4).

If anyone wants to take over, please contact me or simply grab the code from Gitorious or garage.maemo.org.

I've started a new project to bring Conboy to MeeGo Harmattan. The first alpha version can be found here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1122969
