I've been through the basics of learning Python, and its good to be able to use it like this. Hey thanks a heap for this, it just saved me a ton of time!

Thanks -- I'm glad it was helpful. I'm sorry I can't be of much further help -- I only dug enough to get my particular notes working. I'm guessing that notebook operations would be automated through dbus also. Hi, Nick. Thanks -- I'm glad it was helpful.

The import script dies if it has subdirectory (e.g. I am trying to import from MS Outlook, which allows nested Notes folders). Gives error like so: ---------------- nickj@redux:~/move to linux box/mail export$ python import-notes.py DreamHost Traceback (most recent call last): File "import-notes.py", line 20, in f = open(path + fname) IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory ---------------- ... Could it perhaps create a new Notebook (named after the subdirectory), and put the subdirectory's notes into that Notebook? Also, I am currently getting blank notes when I do the import (the title comes through okay), so I may be doing something wrong there.... It would be great if this functionality could be built into Tomboy, so that people could easily import and export notes. -- All the best, Nick. Thank you!
