Hi Nitin - I've done some modifications to the wx branch (I started them before you committed your change to use GTK+) to include the following:

  1. Add code to facilitate building a Windows executable or a Windows installer
  2. Changed to use plistlib rather than ElementTree for reading the .doentry files
  3. Changed some of the path manipulations to use Python standard library functions rather than sring manipulations.
  4. Added a Day One icon, so the executable is branded appropriately.

I know you've moved on to GTK+ rather than wxPython, but some of the changes may be of use, and it might be possible to rebase them onto your GTK branch. Using plistlib rather than ElementTree is a big win IMO.

@studoot wow... I've not been here since a long time. Just noticed this. Since I'm not totally familiar with how merging works, can we create a separate branch for your merge?

The reason I shifted to GTK is cross-compat with other OSes. I was hoping to make the app responsive to the screen size, but I've not been able to achieve that.

Let's work on making this as robust as your code but with PyGTK... What say?
