[tomboy-list] Timestamp idea

[Raymond]

I did just this by customizing the example for InsertDateTime.cs on the
site.

Here is the code I used (virtually the same as that on the plugin
tutorial page)

=============================================================
using System;

using Mono.Unix;

using Gtk;
using Tomboy;

[PluginInfo(
"Insert Date/Time", Defines.VERSION,
PluginInfoAttribute.OFFICIAL_AUTHOR,
"Inserts current date and time at the cursor position.",
WebSite = "http://www.gnome.org/projects/tomboy/"
)]
public class InsertDateTimePlugin : NotePlugin
{
Gtk.MenuItem item;

protected override void Initialize ()
{
item = new Gtk.MenuItem (Catalog.GetString ("Insert date and time"));
item.Activated += OnMenuItemActivated;
item.Show ();
AddPluginMenuItem (item);
}

protected override void Shutdown ()
{
item.Activated -= OnMenuItemActivated;
}

protected override void OnNoteOpened ()
{
                /*
                 * To Add the date when a new note is opened I would
just add similar code here.
                 */
}

void OnMenuItemActivated (object sender, EventArgs args)
{
string format = Catalog.GetString ("dddd, MMMM d yyyy, h:mm tt");
string text = DateTime.Now.ToString (format);

NoteBuffer buffer = Note.Buffer;
Gtk.TextIter cursor = buffer.GetIterAtMark (buffer.InsertMark);
buffer.InsertWithTagsByName (ref cursor, text, "bold");
}
}
=================================================================

Compile with 

$] gmcs -debug -out:InsertDateTime.dll -target:library
-pkg:tomboy-plugins -r:Mono.Posix InsertDateTime.cs
