GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 473549
Please provide option to disable launch of "Search All Notes" window on startup
Last modified: 2017-07-31 12:43:43 UTC
Application should not get in the way Other information: After starting Tomboy, I never use the "Search All Notes" window. I end up closing it. Its fine for new users, so they know the capabilities. But for me, its an annoyance. It would be so good to not have to close that window on start.
This is a duplicate of bug #443655. The solution is not to start Tomboy with the "--search" option (see other bug for details and justification). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 443655 ***
I'm reopening this one. I think in Ajay's case, it would be better to have a preference setting for users to disable this behavior rather than having them modify a startup command. It should be pretty easy to figure something out for the next stable release after 0.8.
Marking this as an enhancement.
One way to approach this: 1. Remove "--search" option from our default Tomboy .desktop file, because it would not make sense anymore. 2. Have a GConf preference like "open_search_when_not_applet" that defaults to TRUE. Expose in Preferences window? 3. When Tomboy is *not* started with the "--panel-applet" option, check the above GConf preference. Open Search window if set to TRUE.

Using Tomboy 0.10.0 now, I have tomboy as an applet and the 'search all notes' window pops up every time I log in. Shouldn't this not appear when tomboy is an applet?

Nope, I've double-checked Sessions and I don't, this is a new issue for me with the Ubuntu Hardy beta.
Though now it's not doing that anymore.. nevermind
close?
(In reply to comment #11) > close? > No, Boyd's probably right in comment #2. Just because we set the .desktop file to default to `tomboy --search`, that doesn't mean a user should have to much with that file if they don't want to see the search window when they start Tomboy. We should add a pref.

I'd like to add that in Ubuntu 10.04, using the panel applet is not a satisfactory fix for this anymore since it looks very much out of place with all the icons now being gray. Maybe it would suffice to have the panel applet icon match the notification area icon?
Hi Raphael. That's filed as bug #614795, if you want to CC yourself on that to track it.
Super, thanks!
