\"dropbox-icon\"<\/a> The other day, I wrote about a free note taking application called Tomboy<\/a>. As I mentioned there, Tomboy is now available for Linux, Mac and Windows. Since I frequently move between machines and jump in and out of Linux and Windows, I wanted to have the same notes in all places.<\/p>\n

After some research, I found out that I could set Tomboy to use a local folder to synchronize notes. I am an enthusiastic Dropbox<\/a> user and I have it installed on every PC that I use. To me, the next logical step was to point my Tomboy sync at Dropbox so that I was getting the same notes on all my PCs, no matter what system was running.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

If Tomboy is running, you can access the preferences by a right click to it\u2019s system tray, or from the \u201cSearch All Notes<\/em>\u201d windows under \u201cEdit – Preferences<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"tomboy-right-click-systray\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Make sure the pull-down menu is showing \u201cLocal Folder<\/em>\u201d, then hit the \u201cBrowse<\/em>\u201d button to choose a folder on your PC. Naturally, in this case, we will choose a folder inside of the Dropbox folder so that the files will get synchronized by Dropbox.<\/p>\n

\"tomboy-preferences\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you have the folder selected, be sure to hit the \u201cSave\u201d button to save the folder path.<\/p>\n

Now you only need to do this on every PC that you have Tomboy installed on and you’re ready to go. Whenever you need to update your notes, you can find the \u201cSynchronize Notes<\/em>\u201d command in the systray icon right click or in any note window under \u201cTools<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"tomboy-sync-menu\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s it. Have fun taking notes in Tomboy.<\/p>\n
