Storing notes of TOMBOY on different location

This guide is intended for Ubuntu users (it may work on other Linux distro though).
If you are running TOMBOY 0.15.6 or later, all your TOMBOY notes are stored on ~/.local/share/tomboy/. You can change its default directory for your notes. This especially makes sense if you dual boot Ubuntu for example with Windows so you only want the same notes accessible from both OSs.
Open terminal then run these commands:
1. sudo cp /etc/profile /etc/profile.bak
(make backup of /etc/profile into /etc/profile.bak)

2. sudo gedit /etc/profile
(edit /etc/profile)

3.
copy and paste this line (without quotes): "export TOMBOY_PATH=/media/STORAGE/Tomboy_notes". This will set up "/media/STORAGE/Tomboy_notes" for your Tomboy PATH. Change "/media/STORAGE/Tomboy_notes" accordingly to what directory you want to store your notes.


4. Restart the system and now Tomboy will read notes stored in that directory.

Good luck.

Add Reminder Add-in on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)

Earlier I showed steps to add Reminder add-in on earlier version of Ubuntu (
http://gusantov.blogspot.com/2008/07/event-reminder.html). This note is about how to add Reminder add-in on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). I wrote this because there's slightly different in the way the add-in files of Tomboy are stored. In earlier versions of Ubuntu (correct me if I'm wrong), add-in files are stored in ~/tomboy/addins. In Ubuntu 10.04 these files are stored in /usr/lib/tomboy/addins.
So, if you want to add Reminder add-in, after you download the dll file (I choose the binary one) (http://flukkost.nu/blog/tomboy-reminder/), then move it to /usr/lib/tomboy/addins. You need to enable it (see my previous note) afterward. If you can't see Reminder add-in in there, you need to restart your system (this is what I did to make it appear on the add-ins list).
Good luck.
