Plaintext Export Add-in for Tomboy

Tomboy notes

The Plaintext export add-in for Tomboy Notes allows you to export
all your notes or a selected notebook to plain .txt files, using the export functions introduced in Tomboy 1.7.1. (In other words you must have that version or higher for it to work!) It’s licensed under the LGPL. As always, if you have anything to report just email me!

    I have Tomboy Notes installed on a Windows7 machine. I recently installed this plugin to Tomboy. I went preferences and made sure this plugin was enabled. I then went to “Search All Notes/Tools” but didn’t see the plugin. I have Tomboy 1.8.3. Please help!

      It should be under Search All Notes -> Tools -> Export -> Export All Notes to Plain Text Files. From your description it sounds like it should work. Does the Search All Notes -> Tools -> Export -> Export All Notes to HTML option work? (It’s included with Tomboy.)

        “Search All Notes -> Tools -> Export” is not shown. What is shown is “Search All Notes -> Tools -> Synchronize Notes”.

          Strange it seems that it’s not my add-in but the add-in infrastructure that’s malfunctioning. Do any other add-ins work?

            The “Export to HMTL” add-in on the note itself does work.

              OK, sounds like the problem might be with Tomboy. Are you absolutely sure you have Tomboy 1.8.3 installed?

              See my reply to noelia, I’ll investigate the problem.

    Hi! I’m having the same problem and I’m aboslutley sure I have version 1.8.3. Did you come up with any solution?

    Thanks!

      OK, I’m guessing something might be wrong with the Windows build of 1.8.3. I’ll have a go at installing it on my Windows machine soon and see if the same happens for me, and then I’ll talk to the Tomboy developers about it.

        Ok. I’ll keep checking to see what happens. I think this is the application most important feature Tomboy is missing. Thanks for developing it!

          I’ve found the problem, it’s a fault with the Windows version of Tomboy. I’ve submitted a patch and bugged the dev team about it, so fingers crossed it’ll be fixed in the next release of Tomboy for Windows. :-)

            awesome! Can’t wait!
            This is the most useful add-in I’ve seen. Thanks for creating it! :)
