Re: Planing to migrate from Tomboy to Gnote

Good morning!

Ah, that's a pity.

I fiddled around a while with the idea to first bring up the main
window and then ask gnote to open and focus the search bar by running
something like 'pidof gnote && ( gnote; sleep 1; gnote --search )', but
still this does not solve my issue.

So I decided to file a bug report asking for fixing 'gnote --search' to
work like described from the 'gnote --help' output:
> Open the search all notes window with the search text.

Sorry, I'm too unfamiliar with Gnome/Gtk to provide a working code
patch...
