I got a silly novice question - how to get it to work on Windows? I installed the latest Mono 2.0, I installed Gtk# SDK, and I downloaded Tomboy installer. The entire Tomboy community, especially Dmitry Kostenko, Doug Johnston, and Samuel Vandamme for their patches to help make Tomboy on Windows a reality.All GTK+ developers and porters, especially those at Imendio!.Brad Taylor and his old Medsphere cronies, who whipped gtk-sharp on Windows into shape.Aaron Bockover, who keeps threatening to do a Mac release before me.Thanks especially for getting me a build of MonoDevelop in time for my Saturday hack fest! These guys have been rocking hard on Mono's Mac story, and it shows. Andrew Jorgensen, Thomas Wiest, Marc Christensen, and Geoff Norton of the Mono team.Among other things, he created Mono bindings for Imendio's excellent ige-mac-integration library, and scripts for building app bundles. Eoin Hennessey, who pioneered a lot of this work in his banshee-osx git branch, which he and Aaron are merging into Banshee trunk this week.This was actually a pretty easy job, thanks to these folks: If you try to run Tomboy twice, it should show the Search window instead of launching again, but sometimes it will not show the Search window until you have interacted with Tomboy in some other way (by hovering over a window or clicking the tray icon, for example).
No drag and drop from other apps into Tomboy (appears to be unimplemented in GTK+ for Windows).Two console windows appear briefly when Tomboy starts (fixed in Mono.Addins SVN).(optional) Copy your notes to %appdata%\tomboy.If you are running Windows Vista, you may need to follow additional instructions to work around an installer bug.
Install Medsphere's GTK# SDK installer (the runtime installer should work, but in my testing it did not install a particular registry key needed for Tomboy to recognize its presence).Hand cursor doesn't show when hovering over links, but they're still clickable.In the note window toolbar, notebook names can be ellipsized oddly.Shortcut keys all use Control instead of Command.(optional) Copy your notes to ~/.config/tomboy.Download and mount the Tomboy disk image.If you find any bugs, or have ideas for better platform integration, or find issues with install, please please PLEASE file bugs!Ĭlick to file a bug for Tomboy on Windows!Ĭlick to file a bug for Tomboy on Mac OS X! Just consider yourself warned, and please back up your notes. I'm distributing them with the disclaimer that they are not widely tested, though in my own testing I have found no bugs that would make me worry about loss of data. I didn't have any plans this weekend, so I present to you "preview builds" of Tomboy 0.13.0 for Windows and Mac OS X.
This is not the most elegant solution, but I wanted Mac users to play around with it and share their own opinions. Notice that I added a menu for tracking open note windows, and attached the classic recent notes menu to the dock icon. Of course, some platform integration there would be nice.Ĭlick for full-screen shots. And then Friday, the excellent Mono team released a Mono 2.0 installer for OS X, and I found that my Windows build of Tomboy finally worked pretty well on the Mac, too. Well, last week I finally merged that code into trunk. At the end of August, I told you about my little project to bring Tomboy to Windows users.
