[tomboy-list] "Server is locked" and Little sync disaster

I'm happy to say I recovered from the little sync disaster. I figured 
out how to restore the backup copies: just copying them back to the main 
directory from the backup directory. I was confused because the Dropbox 
directory I had set up for local synchronization has a different 
structure with numbered subfolders. I thought the notes had to be 
restored to the appropriate subfolder. Then I saw that there are no 
subdirectories in the default Tomboy directory. So I copied the contents 
from the Backup directory and everything is fine. Thanks a lot.

I have another question.

Where can I get that? I went to the plugin section on the Tomboy wiki 
and I didn't find this add-in. A Google search for NoteDirectoryWatcher 
did not produce anything either.
