Tomboy Reminder

Posted 2007-09-19

This is the new home of the tomboy reminder plugin, originally created by Raphaël Slinckx (old home). The difference between this plugin, and the version Raphaël Slinckx has on his site, is that this version works with Tomboy 0.10 and later, which his doesn't. However, this plugin doesn't work with earlier versions, which his does.

This plugin looks for notes with content like Remind 4 march and will open the note containing this on the 4:th of March. There's more info about usage in the Readme file.

Requirements

Tomboy 0.10 or later

Download

There's a binary and a source version.

Build/Install

If you downloaded the source version, installing it is normal automake stuff: ./configure; make; make install.

If you downloaded the binary, installation is just a matter of moving it into ~/.tomboy/addins/

Hi! Could you, please, let me know how did you installed it with Ubuntu 7.10? I've tried to make it work, but still no success. I've put the .dll at any location related to tomboy plugin, but still doesn't work. I think this is one of the best plugins released for tomboy and "was" very useful for me in previous versions. Now, with Ubuntu 7.10, tomboy is 0.8.0.
Trying to compile it, shows me:

No package 'libgnomeprint-2.2' found No package 'libgnomeprintui-2.2' found No package 'gdk-2.0' found No package 'gtk+-2.0' found No package 'atk' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBTOMBOY_CFLAGS and LIBTOMBOY_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I feel very confused...

Thanks a lot beforehand for any comment...

Don't work with tomboy 0.10.0.

WARNING: The add-in 'Tomboy.Reminder,0.9.1' is trying to extend '/Tomboy/NoteAddins', but there isn't any compatible add-in defining this extension point

it's work fine with tomboy 0.10.1 Ubuntu hardy. "remind day" : don't work for me, whereas "remind next day" it's ok

It works fine in Ubuntu 7.10, but in Ubuntu 8.04 (Tomboy 0.10.1), When I type !2008/04/22 a 08:20 in a note, it does not pop out the reminder.

Do I type the wrong format? or is this plugin not compatible with Tomboy 0.10.1?

Thanks for help!

Excellent - Tomboy worked well before - now with remind my work/computing days got a whole lot easier - great work.

Suse 10.3 Tomboy 0.10.0 Remind 0.9.1

Thank you for the help above.

I modified the code to support the geman date fromat (dd.mm.yyyy), the week/month names and the word for next ("nächsten"). I just modified the regex strings at the top of MagicDate.cs.

The complete source package can be found at http://www.prangereichan.de/tomboy-reminder-0.9.1-plus_ger.tar.gz

Would be nice if you'd add the modification in future versions.

Best regards Michael

That looks awesome - I'll have a look, thanks!

By Michael

Thanks a lot. I keep testing the plugin. One thing that doesn't work are dates like dd.mm.yy. Maybe you can fix that. I'm not used to those C# regex.

Makes Tomboy useful - not much value in notes without reminder capability! Built on 64 bit ubuntu as binary is 32 bit - worked fine after got package mono-gmcs (mono compiler). Many thanks!

Any plans to include repeating events? I have a few tasks I have to do every day and it seems this won't handle that.

By Kainalu

Are you going to write this to work for ubuntu 8.04/8.10? It is so cool to have reminders (shouldn't that be included), but this plugin no longer works on ubuntu

Great plugin, installed without any problems on Ubuntu 8.10 with Tomboy 0.12. I am seeing one problem, though. In a bulleted list, when I place a ! and then a date next to any item, the previous bulleted item gets highlighted rather than the one with the date. Other than that, it is working perfectly.

Can you please update the plugin to work with tomboy 1.0.0 in ubuntu 9.10?

Posted 2009-11-02 at 13:11

By ruperts

thanx for the tool. ditto the request by pavlos for the tool to work with 1.00 in ubuntu 9.10

By RedAcer

great tool, just installed it. Agree that Reminder 1.0 doesn't work with Ubuntu 9.10.

By Bleish

I noticed that, by disabling and then enabling the plugin in the preferences window, it works correctly until tomboy restarts.

By boosis

On ubuntu 9.10 you need to place the plugin in /usr/lib/tomboy/addins

By Munaciello

I placed tomboy-reminder.dll into /usr/lib/tomboy/addins but it still doesn't work. I've also changed the permission of such a .dll to the ones equal to the others .dll but it doesn't appear into the "Preference" -> "Addins" list.

I've also created a ~/.tomboy folder but nothing changed.

Notice, I've been Quitting Tomboy and restarting it each time I made some change, but it still doesn't work.

By Munaciello

Adding it into /usr/lib/tomboy/addins does not work on my Ubuntu 9.10

Posted 2009-11-23 at 16:34

By brownicha

I'm agree with Bleish. If you disable and then enabled the plugin, it works. You have to do it everytime you start Tomboy. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and Tomboy 1.0. The plugin tomboy-reminder.dll is placed in /usr/lib/tomboy/addins
