Description Osmo Salomaa 2008-04-25 00:10:43 UTC 
It would be nice if you could drag a note, drop it on the desktop and a .desktop file would be created to launch that note, similar to how you can drag an application from GNOME's applications menu or an URL from Epiphany. e.g. for note "Foo" it would create file $HOME/Desktop/foo.desktop with something like

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Foo
Exec=tomboy --open-note Foo
Icon=tomboy
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Type=Application

That way the icon on the desktop could act as a reminder and the note itself would contain the details.

Similar to bug 408724?

Perhaps similar in intent, but I think the features are pretty different.

Closing this report as NOTGNOME as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 781054) to keep tasks in one place. Please feel free to transfer this task to GitHub if this task is still valid in a recent Tomboy version. 
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
