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: 12am 23:34 10h 10h am 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 Please submit me by mail your problems/comments/suggestions/bugs/etc (in AUTHORS file)
