[tomboy-list] is there any export all notes to html utility?

[Hot Mailing]

A couple of additional thoughts here:

1. If this utility could export all notes that whose last changed date 
was  before a certain date then it could act as a archive utility.

2. I think it would also be useful if it put each note in a directory 
that was named after the Tomboy  folder.

3. It would also be useful if the name of the html file was YYYYMMDD - 
.  That way you could easily locate the html note you 
need via nautilus or the "ls" command.

4. If you could post the source of your utility, I may be able to 
re-write it in .NET as a Tomboy add-in.


Just thoughts.
