[tomboy-list] Does anyone use the the middle-click-Tomboy-applet-pastes-to-Start-Here-note feature?

[Sandy Armstrong]

Just FYI, an Insert Timestamp addin has been part of Tomboy for a
little while now.  I just checked in Stefan's changes to make the
datetimestamp configurable.

Your ideas about Start Here would seem like good optional features.
You could simulate that behavior by always leaving Start Here open
when you close Tomboy (since notes that were open when Tomboy closes
automatically re-open when Tomboy starts up again).

I agree that pasting to Start Here is arbitrary.  To me, it is
usesless, because I would normally paste text into a new note or a
specific note related to the pasted content.
