Public bug reported: I am trying to create unity quicklist using this guide for Tomboy http://askubuntu.com/questions/35488/what-custom-launchers-and-unity-quicklists-are-available
Using the man page for Tomboy it says you can open tomboy using tomboy --open-note [title/url] This works well when the application is closed. But once it has been opened, the command will just display the window with the list of notes, than the particular note. When the command is run from the terminal it says [ERROR 14:33:43.474] Tomboy is already running. Exiting... When it would be preferable if it was able to switch to the note passed in, like other applications like Zim Desktop do. The result is an inability to make unity quicklists for Tomboy X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=Daily; [Daily Shortcut Group] Name=Daily Exec= tomboy --open-note Daily TargetEnvironment=Unity ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: tomboy 1.10.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu8 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Jun 14 14:47:27 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: tomboy UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-05-19 (25 days ago) ** Affects: tomboy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012970 Title: tomboy can't recognise it's already open gracefully when open-note arguement is used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/1012970/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
