Convert Tomboy / Gnote notes to zim notes

Usage

In an empty target directory, execute following while typing RETURN-key at each prompt.

 $ prthon3 /path/to/tzim.py

If you need non-default behavior, enter pertinent path to the prompt.

This converts Tomboy / Gnote notes under a single target directory.

You can import each page to zim one by one via File -> Import page....

Also you can move this target directory content to some path where you keep zim data using cp or mc commands. Then restart zim and you are all set.
