tomboy-export 0.1

I started using Tomboy recently and it’s been working well for me. My one issue is that there are times I’d like to export to HTML and other times just plain text.

I remember the author posted a workaround but it’s not an ideal solution. I modified the default “export to HTML” plugin and got it exporting text pretty quickly. It wasn’t really difficult as the hard work was already done by the original author. I sent a patch upstream but I never heard anything back.

I didn’t want to have to maintain the patch over time that would be a pain. So instead I re-worked the code to build outside the Tomboy tree. I still wasn’t completely happy because the two export options in the menu looked kind of odd. I went back again and modified the code so that it presented an “Export” menu with a submenu that let you choose HTML or text. Then I just disabled the default HTML plugin.

I’m not really looking to develop it further. It works for me and I’m happy with it. I thought I’d release though in case it’s useful to anyone else.
