[tomboy-list] A question about the metadata xml file in add-ins

Hi all, after having been a fan of Tomboy for quite a while I've decided to
make an add-in for Tomboy in order to learn about C#. (A calculator function
so you can mark equations in the text and have the answer pasted in.) Now, I
have the add-in itself working quite well, but sometimes it needs to be
disabled and reenabled after starting Tomboy in order for it to load into
notes. Running Tomboy from the console reveals this message which I suspect
might have something to do with it:

WARNING: The add-in 'Tomboy.CalculatorAddin,0.1' is trying to extend
'/Tomboy/NoteAddins', but there isn't any compatible add-in defining this
extension point

Obviously this is related to the segment in the manifest xml file which
reads:

    <Extension path="/Tomboy/NoteAddins">

        <NoteAddin type="Tomboy.Calculator.CalculatorAddin" />

    </Extension>

Now, I've basically copied  the xml from the add-in making tutorial on the
wiki, looked at all the other add-ins in the Tomboy source and changed the
bits that are relevant to my add-in. I'm rather sure that the namespace in
NoteAddin field is correct, so does the problem lie with the Extension path
field or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Robert N
