___________________________________________________
NotesUNeed v6.50.20400 - Telic of Dragonblight (EU)
___________________________________________________
Feature-rich, searchable Notes database with many automated features, and additional NuN tooltips for viewing note details.

This AddOn is for making your own custom notes on players, and quests, and items, etc. and does not come with any pre-made notes.
It does provide an Export and Import Feature for sharing of sets of notes, or publishing of note databases.
There is no longer an "Alternative" version of NuN, and the default Modifier keys for creating notes from Container Items and Hyperlinks is now simply "<Alt>-Left Mouse Click". For anyone unhappy with this key-Combo, then they can now specify their own via the NotesUNeed Options frame.
Below is a summary of NotesUNeed functionality, but you should read the Readme.txt file for much more detailed discussion on these subjects.

3.) NuN has a MicroButtons panel with 4 buttons for quick access to features.
This frame can be moved by dragging the small border surrounding the buttons, and can be hidden if not needed (see slash commands). From left to right the buttons are :

- search for notes containing text you specify in the edit box
a) Left click : Case insensitive search
b) Right click : Case sensitive search
- filter visible notes from the Options Frame

- a tick indicates a General note is saved at Account level
- hover over a note to see its contents in a Tooltip
- Right-Click to open the sticky NuN PinUp Tooltip
- <Shift>Left-Click to paste the note name in to open chat box
- After filtering and searching to narrow down the visible set of Notes, you can :

Telic said@starfloater
NotesUNeed has a note search/browsing frame that lists all your notes. Notes can be opened and then use the Delete button on the note frame. The note will be deleted, and the next note in the search frame will be opened. (Simply pressing the keyboard "Enter" key is equivalent to clicking OK to confirm note deletion)
From this frame, you might also be able to enter a text search for the Guild name, and then Mass Delete all the notes.
The note broswer/search frame can be accessed by using the Browse button. One of the 4 micro-buttons.
(i.e. the one with the magnifying glass symbol)
Or by opening the NuN Options frame, and clicking the Search button near the bottom...
Or by using the slash command :
/nun [GUILD NAME]

starfloater saidOkay I joined a guild and NuN did it's job and created notes for all the guild members. But now, I left the guild and I have the list of guild members still stuck in NuN.
How can I just delete the Guild members that NuN automatically put notes in? I tried to look for a massive list that NuN might be saving on my computer so I could just delete from this list but I could not find a list NuN might be storing with notes.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Telic saidChanges in v6.50.20400 from v6.48.20400
- Talent recording now works as intended ;p.
Need to be within range when creating a new note, or using the "Target Info" button.
Main NuN Tooltip for player will show talent summary.
Talent details will be shown in a special tooltip when hovering over the Class box in the Note itself.

starfloater saidHi,
When I use the quest notes function and I update the information by added the amount of XP reward I give it does save the information correctly. However, when it is a chain quest and I get the updated quest information from a mob. The text in NuN does not change to the most current quest I received from the mob. Is there an option that I may check to maybe 'update' quest information? For example,
Let's say I get my first quest: 'StormWind City is in Trouble'. I would go into the notes editing feature in the quest log and added the amount of XP I would get rewarded when I complete this quest. Let's say the XP is 100XP. So, I update the NuN quest text log and save it.
So, now my NuN quest log information says title: 'StormWind City is in trouble. Details: Give Letter to City Guard. (Manual Inputted information:) XP Reward 100.
Now, when I compelete this quest I get the next step in the quest with the same title. The details to this quest has changed: Details: 'Kill Horde Monster'.
NuN is not changing any information in my note. It looks like the information from the previous quest included the XP Reward I manually put in. It is not even appending the new information.
Any help would be appreciated thank you!:)

Telic saidYou said "... now my NuN quest log information says title: ..."
Are you actually changing the Title of the Note ?
If so, then NuN won't be able to append the details of the next leg in the quest.
If you are only changing the body of the text and not the note title, then I'm not sure what the problem is.
WoW can be a little bit quirky and is not always 100% consistent, so I can't guarantee that this feature will work for ALL quests. Are you finding this problem for ALL quests with multiple stages, or is it just this quest ?

starfloater saidNo, I was not changing the actually title of the quest, just the body.
However, I apologize, I realized what it was. NuN has a maximum amount of text it can put into the notes, right? I didn't change that maximum character number. So, when NuN tried to append and it had already appended numerous chain quest information in the same note, it could not append anymore, it reached its limit.
I just had to delete the previous appended information for NuN to fit the current chain quest information.
Thanks for responding though! :)

Telic saidChanges in v6.45.20400 from v6.43.20400
---------------------------------------
- NuN will now try to record Talent tree details when collecting information.
Players must be within range when you create the Note or use the Target Info button.
This information will be detailed in the Tooltip when :
a.) in the general Tooltip information for that Contact
The main Talent description will be based on the branch in which the most points have been spent
e.g. for a Shaman the description might read :
Elemental 40-7-23
b.) hovering over the Class button in the Contact note editing frame will give much more Talent details for that Player
NOTE : NuN does not try to gather this information automatically for Party/Guild members.
- fix to try and minimise the display of Contact tooltip details when hovering over General items with the same root name

madpax saidTy Telic for the quick and informitive reply.
I am probably the wrong person to give helpful feed back on your beta as i never used your previous versions. All i will say however from my limited testing i have not had an error msg or problem of anykind so on that basis it looks like a solid bit of coding you created. I hope more ppl give you feed back. Mine u if it was really buggy im sure there would be loads ppl telling u, so maybe that answers your question ;) Great job. thank you very much

Telic saidMmm,
I could really use positive as well as negative feedback on the Beta from one of the 160 who have downloaded it.... ? :)
No one has said anything... are the new features working flawlessly ?
Or is there a bug as soon as you log in and no one is using it at all...?

madpax saidI just started to use your addon and it offers all the features i need and tons more, but there are a couple of things i cant make work.
1. the delay sending each lime of a msg doesnt work, i just spam a wall of text
2. each time i send a msg i create a log copy of my own msg. i have NOT checked the format box
Any help would be great, then i can play around with all the other neat features

Telic saidHi madpax,
1. The message delay is only used when broadcasting notes in channels, as Blizzard limits the number of messages you can send to public channels in a short amount of time. If you send too much, then some messages can simply disappear in to the ether...
So NuN uses the delay to throttle back the speed at which they are sent.
However, there is no need to use the delay when Whispering, or sending to Guild, or Party, as Blizzard doesn't monitor these types of communication.
2. NuN keeps log records of the last 9 notes that you transmitted, and the last 9 notes that you received. When you send a tenth note, then the transmission log #1 is re-used, so you will never have more than 9 log notes of each type (total 18 max.)
These notes serve both as a useful history, and also as a debugging feature, so that when note transmission fails for whatever reason, the sender and receiver can compare log notes and help me find where the problem lays.
Logs are created whether or not you are sending a formatted note or not.
Don't forget to read "Whatever you do DONT READ THIS.txt" included in the Zip file - there are quite detailed sections on the different areas of NuN functionality.
