NotesUNeed v6.58.30200 - Telic of Dragonblight (EU)
___________________________________________________
Feature-rich, searchable Notes database with many automated features, and additional NuN tooltips for viewing note details.
Make Contact Notes on other Players, or General Notes on anything else.
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.

Change Log - NotesUNeed
Changes in v6.58.30200 from v6.57.30100
---------------------------------------
Is there any way to make the buttons stay put after disabling the addon and then re-enabling it? I really love your addon and advertise it any chance I get, but this little quirk is such a pain to deal with.
I use ACP to make a raiding set of addons that I use... I turn off all addons that do not pertain to raiding, and then turn them all back on when I'm done. Every time I turn your addon back on, it's moved back to the top of my screen. I end up having to completely turn off my entire UI in order to grab and move it because it sits right on top of something else that cannot be moved.
When you right-click someone and go into the NuN sub-menu you have like 15 or so (don't know exact count) "labels" we can choose to describe someone. I hardly ever use them, mainly because the names aren't anything I would ever use.
Anyhow, Sure I can probably edit the .lua file and rename them to my liking, but then it would get wiped out on the next NuN update.
Any chance you can let us add/remove our own labels via in-game options?
For one thing I don't need 15+ labels, besides it makes the pop-out tooltip too long for my liking. I just want to add labels like:
1. Dumbass!
2. Annoying
3. Ninja (you have that one)
4. Spammer
5. Gold/level spammer
6. Whiner
7. Cool
8. Fun to hang with
Got this error while I was inspecting someone, rather I right-clicked them and went into the NuN sub-menu and picked top option to make a note for that person.
The note was created, and filled in with the gear etc but also got the error message at same time.
Here it is:

EDIT: Got it again, seems every time I use the right-click context menu to create a note by picking a label it gives the error. First it creates the note and fills in most of the info, then it throws the error. It is giving the error after you choose one of the labels to give someone and in the note that is created, it's not populated automatically.
great addon, i in particular like the pinup tooltip feature on notes, i would like to have an option to hide it in combat and show it again ooc. maybe this is dooable via the script stuff but thats 2 advanced for me . cheers on a great addon.
ehm also i have 2 accounts on the same realm/faction, any easy way to sync em(savedvariables are in 2 different folders cus of the accounts)
It really has become one of the "must have AddOns", the half day it was off, while testing some other things for our AddOns really made that point clear!
Sorry but been too busy with real life recently - some things are just more important than WoW
AlphaMap, PartySpotter, and MapNotes should all be compatible as Out of Date addons, although I will eventually release toc updates.
MozzFullWorldMap has an issue with the small Zone Map, and I have fixed and will release the 3.2 version tomorrow.
NotesUNeed sadly is the one I have hardly looked at - but I will probably release the modified version suggested on Curse as an emergency fix at some point.
NuN is basically due a complete re-write... but that will take much longer to accomplish....
No notice/activity here, but it's been verified NuN causes the error. A temp fix (actually commenting out a line and forcing a false expression) is outlined over at Curse:
I haven't really tested around this issue much recently, and Blizz have made some changes on their side I believe to alleviate this problem.
However, anyone with Focus taint issues should check out the relevant section of the NuN ReadMe text file included in the zip. Here's the details I added last October :
Right-clicking on unit frames to select player ratings will STILL taint the 'Set Focus' / 'Clear Focus' menu actions
Note that there should be no problems with focus actions via key bindings, slash commands, or macros.
A new slash command has been introduced to disable NuN right click menus, and prevent this problem entirely.
/nun -rightoff
This slash command will re-load your User Interface, so you will see a Blizzard loading screen for a few seconds.
But if you want to use focus actions from player drop down menus, then you should use the above slash command to disable the NuN menu option.
If you don't need the Blizzard 'Set Focus' or 'Clear Focus' drop down menu options, then you can leave NuN's right click menu enabled.
NotesUNeed will remember if you turned off right click menus between sessions, so you do not need to use this slash command every time you log in.
If you want to re-enable the NotesUNeed right click menus, then use the following slash command :

when I try to establish focus over a party/raid member using right-click over its portrait. Dont know for sure if its related to NotesUNeed, could you shed some light on this ?
Im using the last version (v6.57.30100) with the esES wow client.
Originally posted by Telic WoWInterface provide me with a free internet presence for hosting my AddOn.
I would hardly begrudge them Ad Revenue in order to pay for the servers and bandwidth they need to do this.
The fact is that without Ad Revenue then I'm sure WoWInterface would have to close down.
Which is where WoWMatrix is really shooting itself in the foot. If they become too popular, and deprive their source web sites of Ad Revenue, then they are in danger of shutting down their own AddOn providers...
If I were them I would approach Curse and WoWInterface with a view to sharing Ad Revenue and forming more of a partnership.
Anyway, on many levels I don't care that much. This is an argument between the web sites, and I think everyone has now heard enough propaganda from both sides of the argument.
Let's leave further discussion about it to the forums please
This page is about NotesUNeed from now on please
