[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 662085] Re: Why are notes not located in .tomboy

[Marcel Stimberg]

That the notes are saved in .local/share/tomboy is certainly a feature
and not a bug, the previous situation (using a .tomboy directory) was
the buggy one (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518585).
The idea of the XDG directory specification is that you should not be
searching around for folders like .tomboy or .gnome/tomboy or
.gnome2/tomboy etc. but that all data is saved in .local/share and all
configs are saved in .config, making backups indeed easier (see
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html).
Sorry for your data loss, but tomboy will certainly not switch back to
the old system.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: tomboy

I recently did a fresh install and *thought* that I had made a backup of my notes, as I copied .tomboy which contained .note files. As I found out on my new install, notes are apparently kept at .local/share/tomboy, which means I have now lost 1.5 years worth of notes.

Needless to say, I'm less than happy, so I was wondering whether it would be a great idea to store all notes in .tomboy. I think that's a great idea, what do you think?
