There is no way to associate .note files with Tomboy as it is not listed in the set of applications under Nautilus. Gnote is listed as an application under Nautilus but after associating .note files with it, it also does not open them. The only workaround is to move the .note files to ~/.local/share/tomboy and then start Tomboy.

I understood that I could transfer my tomboy notes by simply backing up the the .notes files, installing Tomboy on Windows, and copying the notes files into the Windows Tomboy directory (C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\tomboy\notes). See http://www.linickx.com/archives/790/tomboy-on-windows. However, the notes do not appear when I open Tomboy, nor do they open when I double click them. I tried to get around the problem by installing Ubuntu 10.04 in Vbox, but the same thing happens there (Tomboy does not recognize notes I paste into /home/bruce/.local/share/tomboy). I was able to recover text of a couple of key notes using Firefox, but that is clumsy and tedious. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
