Note of the Day plugin: "today" in past days NOTDs
Last modified: 2017-07-31 12:41:45 UTC
as reported downstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/84885 "I have two notes of the day right now. The first one says "today: tuesday feb. 13 2007", the second one (saved from yesterday) says "today: monday feb 12 2007". Well, obviously today is not monday feb 12 2007, so NOTD's titles would be much clearer and concise if the "today" part could be removed from all NOTDs except, of course, today's. Does this make any sense to you? Is it feasible at all?"
A lot of people use the Today notes in a specific and consistent way (like writing daily progress reports for work, for example). For them, it is important to be able to quickly find all of their "Today" notes so that they can access their progress report history. Since Tomboy doesn't currently have any tagging mechanism, our solution to this problem is to have a convention for the note title, so that the user can search for "Today:" and get all of their "Today" notes. That being said... you have a really good point. We switched from "NotD" to "Today" because it was more understandable, but maybe "Day:" or "Journal:" would be better, or maybe it should just be configurable by the user. Also, some sort of tagging support is on the roadmap for the next release (0.8.0), so maybe we can incorporate this into the solution.
