Re: Announcing the new tomboy plugin

 

Hi Luca,

I've just had a look on your plugin. It looks nice! However I feel
like some UI love is required before considering integration in the
GTG codebase.

Here are some suggestions (it may or may not be difficult to do, I
don't know, these are just ideas):

 - I think the button is handy, but it would be better to use
something more text-like to link to the note, like a hypertext link
for instance. It would feel less out of place. A nice way to do this
could be to insert a small tomboy icon followed by the a link which is
the title of the linked note. Maybe it is possible to do by using a
GtkLabel, I don't know.

 - The dialog which allow you to select a note should list all
existing tomboy notes when you click on the the dropdown menu. Maybe
it's not practical if you have many notes, but it just feels better
for me.

 - The plugin description is not up-to-date, it is just the default
text from the 'hello world' plugin

Anyway, thanks for work with GTG!

Regards,

Bertrand
