Remote syncronisation/Storage Mechanisms
Hey, I have been using Tomboy for a few months now, and...wow ;), I have started to get friends and family addicted too! So, Now that I have used it for a while, i want to improve it. I really would like to see remote syncronisation as a plugin, or a core feature. I saw that it was briefly discussed in July by Adam Isreal http://beatniksoftware.com/pipermail/tomboy-list_beatniksoftware.com/2005-July/000860.html I am new to mono, and have literally only done a helloworld example, but am pretty confident that I could tap something out. After looking at some of the existing plugins, and chatter about remote storage, it seems to be feasible to produce something that would be able to do it. So I have a few questions/thoughts as I plod along: Introducing remote storage means that a set of worries emerges: What do we do about dirty notes (although tomboy already worries about this) Merging note changes (remote notes and local note cache differs) Unavailability of remote storage. The best idea is to keep a local cache of your notes, so that when your server/alternate storage is not available, then you can still plod on and not be interrupted, and when you do have access to your service, then you can hit sync. This is accomplised simply by doing nothing, since Tomboy should still rely chiefly on it's local notes, and a remote sync manager is responsible for ensuring that when tomboy wants to open, save, or delete a note then the manager gets on with it. We should note that Remote does not necessarily only mean the internet, but could mean a palm pilot, an ipod, or(Continue reading)
).
But I realized that whenever a I change the "Start here" title (at least
in brazilian portuguese, where it is "Comece aqui"), I lose the keybind
for that note. Since I don't like the "Start here" title, and I'd really
enjoy to call it something as "To do" and keep the keybinding, I decided
to ask if someone has already thought of that.
I don't know the code (and I just know the basics of C, anyway), but it
seems that it would not be so hard to set a default note in the
preferences, and then the binding to start_here could be directed to
the default one.
Besides, when I keep the "Start here" title, in the tomboy menu I get
two copies of "Start here": one with and other without the "(key)",
where key is the one in the binding. Don't know if that's a bug, but it
does not seem too reasonable....
Thanks a lot (for the help and the cool program 
)
