Title:
[Tomboy] Tomboy screenlet uses wrong (old) notes directory for Tomboy
1.0.0
Status in Screenlets — individual widgets development:
Fix Released
Bug description:
After noting that the Tomboy screenlet wasn't showing all my notes, I
started digging...
THE PROBLEM:
Tomboy screenlet v0.1 (bundled with 0.1.2-7 on my 9.10/Karmic system) looks
for notes in ~/.tomboy. This path is hard-coded in
/usr/share/screenlets/Tomboy/TomboyScreenlet.py and used unless $TOMBOY_PATH is
set in the environment. But Tomboy 1.0.0, which supposedly shipped with Karmic,
stores its notes in ~/.local/share/tomboy (see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/580333).
A WORKAROUND:
Since I had upgraded from an earlier release, Tomboy 1.0.0 helpfully left
behind a message in a file named "YOUR_NOTES_HAVE_MOVED!" in the old notes
directory, ~/.tomboy. This gave me the idea to move the old notes directory out
of the way (renamed it to ~/.tomboy__old), then creating a symbolic link to
~/.local/share/tomboy in place of ~/.tomboy. After quitting and re-launching
the Tomboy screenlet, the screenlet shows the correct notes.
POSSIBLE PERMANENT FIX:
I'll look into creating a patch to test the output of 'tomboy --version' and
choose the notes directory appropriately. As a disclaimer, I'm terrible about
starting projects (even simple ones) and not finishing them.
