Tomboy export notes to plain text? #89

Closed tualadream closed 6 years ago

tualadream commented 6 years ago

The documentation for this plugin says to add the plugin .dll file to the plugins folder.

I'm using Linux Mint 18.3, Running Tomboy version 1.15.4

The other addins are stored here on my computer:

.config/tomboy/addin-db-001/addin-data/global

The other addins have a .maddin extension

I have downloaded the plugin shared on https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Tomboy/PluginList

It includes the addin - ExportToPlainTextApplicationAddin.cs - There's no file with with a .maddin extension

Adding the .cs file to my addins file - i.e. .config/tomboy/addin-db-001/addin-data/global does nothing.

The addin doesn't show up in Tomboy.

How can I make this work?

Hi Tuala

I'm also using Tomboy 1.15.4 but on Ubuntu linux.

It's definitely the .dll file you need. The .cs file is source code.

Also, the addin-db-001 folder is where plugins store data. Its not where plugins are themselves stored. You may not have any non-official plugins, in which case you will have to create the folder ~/.config/tomboy/addin

When I put the ExportToPlainTextAddin.dll file in the ~/.config/tomboy/addin folder, all works as expected. I.e. the Search All Notes window provides a couple of 'Export to plain text' options in its tools menu and the export completes without error.

I downloaded the dll from https://github.com/robpvn/Tomboy-Plaintext-Export-Addin/releases

Hope this helps.
