Display a Conboy note on your desktop
Update : Due to some question on this little script i update it a bit to works with a recent release of Desktop Commands Execution Widget which execute the scripts now as root, so note wasn't read from user, but root. I also notice that i forgot to report this little script to my new website (Thx to @sphaxx22 (Yves S.)).
Original :
Today while i got the idea to made a plugin to display the content of a Conboy Note on my n900 desktop. I finnally choose the option to use Desktop Commands Execution Widget to display the note content by using the following commands :
python /home/user/conboy_note_to_text.py print noteid
I choose to use noteid instead of text title, as noteid didn't change and also because i didn't maintain an index of all notes, so it s faster.
To list all notes with their title and id in xterm, just use the following commands :
python /home/user/conboy_note_to_text.py list
A screenshot example to see it in action :
And how it look like in conboy :
And of course save the following code to /home/user/
#!/usr/lib/python2.5
