[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 626582] [NEW] Can't open transferred .notes files in Ubuntu or Windows

[Bruce Ferguson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tomboy

I recently had to revert to Windows after a couple of years running
Ubuntu. I understood that I could transfer my tomboy notes by simply
backing up the the .notes files, installing Tomboy on Windows, and
copying the notes files into the Windows Tomboy directory
(C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\tomboy\notes). See
http://www.linickx.com/archives/790/tomboy-on-windows. However, the
notes do not appear when I open Tomboy, nor do they open when I double
click them.

I tried to get around the problem by installing Ubuntu 10.04 in Vbox,
but the same thing happens there (Tomboy does not recognize notes I
paste into /home/bruce/.local/share/tomboy).

I was able to recover text of a couple of key notes using Firefox, but
that is clumsy and tedious.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Tomboy 1.2.1 (Ubuntu), 1.2.2 (Windows)
Ubuntu 10.04 in Windows 7 Virtual Box
