Description Jose Alberto 2006-08-15 11:45:29 UTC 
Can be very nice a coomand line interface to modify and read the tomboy database. Maybe justa a vim plugin can do the job. 
I know a nice ncurse outliner with xml support: hnb [1] so maybe just to create a few scripts can do the job.

Why i think this can be nice? co a lot of time i need to include notes in a ssh session or similar.
Comment 1 Alex Graveley 2006-08-16 09:55:00 UTC 
I think allowing get/set of a note's content via the DBUS interface, and wrapping that using command line options makes some sense.
Comment 2 Sandy Armstrong 2007-04-14 14:08:26 UTC 
Get/set content via DBUS is available since 0.6.0.

Setting the default assignee and QA Contact to "tomboy-maint@gnome.bugs".
Comment 5 Doug Johnston 2008-09-05 04:07:16 UTC 
I wanted a little more flexibility, so I wrote up a little script

http://code.google.com/p/tomboycli/

It works now, but isn't complete and doesn't have much error checking. Careful with the editing options, as you might lose some of your formatting.

I'll put the usage and command line options up on the googlecode wiki page. Please let me know if there are any features you think are missing or design choices you think are clunky.
