Link to specific Tomboy note

  • 772

I'm trying to link to a specific tomboy note from the panel or from the desktop. I don't really like the notifaction "click, dropdown, click" way for a specific note I'm using, so I want to be able to open it with one seperate button.

I couldn't find it on the website of Tomboy, nor did Google help me on this.

    Your tomboy notes are saved in ~/.local/share/tomboy. They have a .note ending.

    To open a note from command line you can use tomboy --open-note YOUR_NOTE. The only problem is that they are not saved by their name but by some sort of hash.

    Either you find out what note it is or you write a small script which opens a note based on a specific creation date or some other aspect. You could also have the script read the first line of the note for a specific string.
