LaunchyTomboyPlugin 0.1

Introduction

Launchy Tomboy Plugin

Requirements

I have tested this setup with:

• Windows 7

• Python 2.7

• Launchy: 2.6 Beta 2

• Tomboy: 1.11.2

• PyLaunchy: 0.9

Installation

• Make sure the above requirements are met

• install this package using pip, easy_install, or the .exe installer

• create a file like the one below:

  # this file should reside at
  # <Launchy program dir>\plugins\python\pytomboy.py
  from os import environ as ose
  import launchy
  
  # uncomment this line if you want debug messages from LaunchyTomboyPlugin
  # to go to <Launch program dir>\plugins\python\stdout.txt
  #ose['LAUNCHY_TOMBOY_DEBUG'] = '1'
  
  from launchytomboyplugin import Tomboy
  
  launchy.registerPlugin(Tomboy)
  print 'Tomboy plugin registered'

• start or restart Launchy

Environment Variables

• LAUNCHY_TOMBOY_DEBUG: set to enable debug info in the stdout.txt (see below)

• TOMBOY_PROGRAM_PATH: set to the full path to Tomboy.exe if your Tomboy install is in a non-standard location.

Log Files

Keep theses files in mind when trying to troubleshoot problems:

• <Launchy program dir>\plugins\python\stdout.txt

• <Launchy program dir>\plugins\python\stderr.txt

Using the Plugin

This plugin inserts two static items into the Launchy catalog:

• Tomboy New Note

• Tomboy Search Notes

It will also index the title of every Tomboy note and make it available as an item in the Launchy catalog. So if you have a note with a title of “ToDo List” typing “ToDo List” in Launchy should bring up that item. Hitting enter will open the corresponding Tomboy note.

Note: the plugin rebuilds the list of note titles whenever Launchy rebuilds its catalog. The auto-refresh time period can be set in Launchy options. A manual refresh of the catalog can also be triggered, see Launchy docs for more info.
