Presenting: VanaPad

NotePad for Vana'diel!



Download from Github repo

Features
  • Mouse interface!

  • Type directly into VanaPad without using the games chatlog.

  • Save up to 10 notes, organized into tabs.

  • Copy a note to the clipboard to be able to paste into your chat log or anywhere on your PC!

  • Wordwrap!

  • Save a custom title to a note if you may want to keep it around for a while.

  • Shrink down to just the bar when you don't need it.

  • Auto-fades when shrunk and not being used.

  • Pin the VanaPad bar in place using the button, or unpin it to move it around



I used this just to mess around with using the mouse as an interface. I had been using my BattlePlan addon as basically just a notepad since the addon as intended had gone nowhere, and decided I wanted to make something more akin to an actual note-taking addon. Initially I had planned on making a "sticky note" addon with individual notes that you could create and have on the screen and show/hide when needed, but it evolved into a "Notepad" type addon with tabs instead.

Don't know if this possible, it would be great if party member or friends with same addon can also see the notes that you type, similar to an add on in WoW

That is actually what BattlePlan was intended for. It was a ghetto way to have a "notepad" on other peoples screens that could be updated by anyone. I didn't know how to get info from my addon to other party/alliance members addons behind the scenes, so I used what everyone had in common: party chat. I had considered it dead but maybe I'll post that one here anyway.

Updated to Version 1.0 (Full Release)
  • Added the ability to copy the contents of a note to the clipboard.

  • Adjusted accuracy of button detection to be much more precise. Now uses the exact width of the text box to determine the spacing of buttons.

  • Code cleanup.


You now have the ability to copy the contents of any note to your clipboard. This allows you to, for example, keep a list of who and which jobs your Ody static is using, then paste it into the chatlog at your next gathering. Or, even better, pair this with the BattlePlan addon and do the same thing but with the commands in there to add them to your groups BattlePlan addon that they have running.

This one is now on full release and is "done".

I don't use Windower, I prefer Ashita, but you write some very clever things. Keep it up!
