[tomboy-list] Note Addin

[Matt Guo]

Hey, Thomas

I've updated the tomboy-image plugin, and now it can work with the
lastest tomboy.

And some explanation on how I implement the tomboy image attachment
(i.e. how and when I save/load the images):

1) ImageAddin.Initialize has following code:
Note.Saved += OnNoteSaved;

and in OnNoteSaved, I do the image saving. (acutally tomboy-image just
save the url and insertion point of the inserted images, and if some
other plugin wants to save the content of the images, its also
feasible). The saved info is a xml, and is stored as
System.IO.Path.ChangeExtension(note.FilePath, ".images");
e.g. I have those 2 files on my disk:
~/.local/share/tomboy/4a82fff0-6198-4df9-8ea4-f3bac388521e.images
~/.local/share/tomboy/4a82fff0-6198-4df9-8ea4-f3bac388521e.note

2)  in ImageAddin.OnNoteOpened (which overiider NoteAddin.OnNoteOpened)
I load the image from the .images file, and insert them back into the note.

IMO, it count as that I digged existing tomboy API and found some way
to support some simple attachment functions, while I still look
forward to seeing a offical attachment framework so that all things
including storage and synchronization etc can be well mandged in a
consistent way.
