Tomboy Reminder Plugin

Requirements

This plugin requires:
tomboy-0.3.2 or higher without dbus enabled or dbus-0.23.4 or higher if tomboy has dbus support enabled (crashing with older versions)

(note that this plugin doesn't use dbus)

Build and Install

Simply run

./configure
make
make install (as root)

It should install the tomboy-reminder in the tomboy plugins directory. You can then install it via the tomboy interface (or copy the tomboy-reminder.dll from the plugins directory (usually /usr/lib/tomboy/Plugins) to your $HOME/.tomboy/Plugins folder)

Using the Reminder

To use the plugin simply write a note and when you want to be reminded for this note, you have two options:

put somewhere a "!" followed by a date at which tomboy will show a popup with the note content at specified date.
write "remind date" or "alert date" or "rappel date"

The date format is quite loose you can write anything like:

        4th july
        2005/05/03
        5th
        3 september 05
        next monday
        monday

Starting from v0.5 you can alo use time in the date, both 12- and 24-hour times are recognized, for example:

You can also combine the two:

        3 july at 12am
        2004/04/02 a 22:50
        monday @ 2h am

In general just write down the date and time as you would naturally it should work, if not, it's a bug ;)

You can NOT use the "american" or "european" date format "mm/dd/yyyy" or "dd/mm/yyy" because it is not clear wether the first two digits are months or days.

Tomboy will scan all the notes shortly after being started and when a note is closed. * When a date is found, the note will popup that date starting at 00:00 and every 30min when you close it.
* When a time is found the note will popup at the given time the same day, only once * When both time and date are found, the note will popup the specified date at the specified time, only once
