I had the very same problem and after many hours of jacking around with this I found something that works. So you may try this and see if it works for you.
Edit -> Preferences -> Synchronization -> Clear Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ins -> Synchronization Disable them all and exit tomboy. Restart tomboy and Enable "Local Directory Sync Service Add-in" Then go back to: Edit -> Preferences -> Synchronization and use Service: Local Folder and add the Folder Path. The Local Folder works after doing this. The problem was that once I got it working it always works even if I enable the WebDav and Web Sync Add-in. So I don't know what causes it to break, but this was the fix for me. Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to tomboy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070664 Title: Tomboy doesn't preserve sync settings Status in “tomboy” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After setting up a local directory to sync with, Tomboy will sync the current arrangement of notes, but any further attempt to sync fails, as the settings for where to sync aren't preserved.
