Tomboy Firefox Extension

[Harry-57]

Hello,

I've written a Firefox extension for Tomboy which lets me send selected
text to a Tomboy note.  I've been using it for a while and it's working
well so I thought I'd package it properly and share it online.  I'm
using it on Ubuntu 8.04 with FF3, I'd imagine it would work in other
setups as long as DBUS and Tomboy are available.

I've uploaded the extension here:
http://harrycoal.co.uk/tomfox/

Regards,
Harry

Looks good although had some quirky behaviour for me. Do you have a bug
tracker I can file bugs on?

Cheers,
Al.

Harry, this extension is fantastic! I would love to see it sucked in to
the Tomboy project...with the code hosted in our SVN, bugs filed in our
bugzilla, etc. What do you think about that?

People, make sure you check out the preferences for this extension...I
like to have the note display automatically when it's created, for example.

I have two feature requests:

1. If note with site title already exists, have the option to append the
selected text to the existing note instead of making a new one with "#1"
at the end.

2. Option to stick each note in a notebook by default. User can specify
their preferred notebook name, but default to something like "snippets".

Thanks,
Sandy

I had a feeling people might like to have the notes pop up so I added
that in at the last minute. I'd be delighted to have the code hosted on
the Tomboy SVN, it'll be nice to give something back. And it's probably
a better idea to file bugs in bugzilla rather than my Tomboy ;-)

Thanks for the suggestions too, I knew I'd get some good feedback if I
shared this online.

Harry

Okay, I have to make one thing clear about bringing the extension into
Tomboy SVN: unless you already have a GNOME SVN account, you would not
have commit access initially. You would need to go through the normal
process of sending patches via bugzilla or the mailing list, after which
you would eventually be asked to apply for a SVN account with the Tomboy
maintainers as references. In all, this could take a few weeks.

If you're okay with this, let me know and we'll get the ball rolling. If
you'd rather have more direct control of the extension for now, I
completely understand.

I figure we'll host the code in our SVN, offer the extension up on our
FTP site, and also get it listed on addons.mozilla.org. It's been a long
time since I've done FF extension development, so I'll need to get
caught up on the tools people are using to build and deploy extensions
these days.

I'm fine with that, it could give me a chance to work on a couple of
suggestions I've already received from other users. I really like the
default notebook option idea, that'll help keep things tidy.

This extension has been getting a lot of attention out in the tubes!  My
"tomboy" google alerts are full of blog entries and articles about it.  
Here's one of the better ones:

Thank you, I'm glad people seem to like it.  I'm looking forward to
getting the next update out as there are a few fixes I want to add it.

Awesome.  Any further thoughts about pulling into our SVN?  Maybe if
you're actively hacking on it it would be better to suck it in when you
feel it's in "maintenance mode".

Update: http://harrycoal.co.uk/2008/07/27/tomfox-new-version/

After receiving some good feedback from everyone who has downloaded my
Tomfox Firefox extension <http://harrycoal.co.uk/tomfox/> for Tomboy
Notes, I’m releasing an update. Here’s what’s new:

    * International Language Support: other special characters are now
      handled correctly as well (Thanks, Wenliang)
    * New option “Default Notebook”. Notes will automatically be filed
      under a notebook called “Snippets”. This name can be changed on
      the preference screen. (Thanks, Sandy)
    * Localization: the Tomfox UI can now be translated in to other
      languages. Bruno Miguel has kindly translated Tomfox in to
      Portuguese which is included in this latest release.
    * I’m now hosting the extension on addons.mozilla.org

Special thanks to everyone who has downloaded the extension and the nice
people at the Tomboy Notes project
<http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy/> for their support and advice.

Congratulations on the latest release, Harry!

I've just uploaded the extracted extension files here:

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/tomboy/trunk/extra/firefox-extension/

And I added a component to Tomboy bugzilla so you can file bugs here:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Tomboy&component=Firefox%20Extension

Or view open bugs here:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=Tomboy&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&component=Firefox%20Extension


Harry, until you get a GNOME SVN account, feel free to send patches via
bugzilla or the mailing list (which I will generally apply without much
review, so response should be fast).  Also, please let me know what
email address you use with bugzilla so that you can have developer
rights to edit Tomfox bugs.

If you have anything else you'd like in the source tree (build scripts
or whatever), let's put them up, too.

Things left to do (that I see):
* Update addons.mozilla.org to point to bugzilla and the Tomboy mailing
list for support.
* Specify that Tomfox requires Tomboy >= 0.10.0 (for the notebook
feature).  Does this fail gracefully on older Tomboy versions?
* It might be useful if you gave me rights to admin Tomfox on a.m.o (I
don't really know how that works because I don't have any extensions
there).  Thoughts?
* Blog all about it (me).


Rock and roll,
Sandy

Hi,

Thanks for adding it to the SVN.  I've registered on Bugzilla with
harrycoal@....  I have attached the pre-packaged version of the
latest Tomfox source to this email if you would like to update the SVN
copy.  It includes a build script and is much easier to maintain then
the packaged version.

I've updated the support url to the bugzilla page, I can't find a way to
give other users rights to manage the addon via a.m.o, it looks like
it's one user per addon which seems a bit strange.  I'll look in to this.

The notebook feature should fail gracefully in older versions, I'm
tagging the notes separately after they're created so the absence of the
notebook feature shouldn't prevent users adding notes.  The
"AddTagToNote" dbus command will fail but users won't see this.  
Hopefully this means the extension should work with earlier versions
providing they accept commands via dbus.

Regards,
Harry

Hi guys,

I've noticed that Tomfox supports localization, and I'm attaching the
Russian translation.

Let me know if I should put it into bugzilla.

Regards,
Dmitry
