TinyPad

Version: 3.1.14

by: Gello [More]

TinyPad is a simple but powerful notepad addon that's easy to use.

This addon works in Retail, Classic Era and WotLK Classic clients.

How to Use

To summon: /pad or /tinypad, bind a key, or turn on a minimap button in the settings panel.
To resize: Drag the resize grip in the lower right corner of the window.
The mod should be self explanatory how to use. Mouseover buttons to see what they do.

Notes

To add links to pages: Bring up a TinyPad page and put the blinking cursor where you want to insert a link, then shift+click an item, spell, recipe, quest or achievement as you ordinarily would to chat.
To view links: Click them.
To send links: Shift+click to chat as you would normally.
Links may display only a handful of characters, but they have many hidden control characters. The EditBox is not intended to handle massive amounts of text (the limit in TinyPad is 8192 characters), so keep that in mind if trying to cram the entire contents of the Adventure Journal loot pages into one page.
Searches are case insensitive.
You can bind a key to search.
While locked, the window won't go away with ESC, but you can still toggle it with a macro, key bind or minimap button; and you can move it while holding the Shift Key.
You can also run pages with /run TinyPad:Run(page)
You can add a page with TinyPad:Insert("text here adds a new page")
You can delete multiple pages with TinyPad.DeletePagesContaining("regex") NOTE: be careful with this one.
Users who edited the Lua in previous version to choose your own fonts, look in panels\fontbar.lua now. (You can replace any of the 3 fonts with your own but it will ignore a 4th font, sorry!)

In that post:

I made a page with a bunch of "/qh find loc location xx yy" to run as a script to add all of the Elder locations to QuestHelper to guide me through. When I clicked on the button at the top to run the page as a script, I got this:

I see the confusion. The scripts run with the run button are lua scripts just like addons use. /slash commands are interpreted macro commands, partly for running protected actions that addons aren't allowed to script (like /cast and /target), partly for addons like QH to give you commands it can interpret.

This is a lua script:

Code:

function PickProspect()
  local macroName = "Prospect"
  local ores = {
    ["Elementium Ore"]="Obsidium Ore  ",
    ["Obsidium Ore  "]="Pyrite Ore    ",
    ["Pyrite Ore    "]="Elementium Ore"
  }
  local macroIndex = GetMacroIndexByName(macroName)
  local macroBody = select(3,GetMacroInfo(macroIndex))
  local currentOre = string.match(macroBody,"^#showtooltip (.-)\n")
  local newOre = ores[currentOre]
  if newOre then
    macroBody = string.gsub(macroBody,currentOre,newOre)
    EditMacro(macroIndex,macroName,nil,macroBody,1)
  end
end

When you enter "/qh find loc location xx yy" into chat or a macro encounters it, the default UI goes through a process of sending "find loc location xx yy" to the addon that has ownership of "/qh".

TinyPad runs lua scripts, it doesn't run a command parser to run macro/slash commands.

I'll think on this. The typing/copy/pasting done into WoW EditBoxes (like the macro edit window, chat window, etc) is done in a "black box" and an addon only knows what it looked like before and after. WoW strips out the control codes on links when you copy them. There's maybe a way to cheat the system by monitoring links in pages and when they disappear/reappear, but any solution would only allow cut/paste within TinyPad. Allowing cut/paste from/to other EditBoxes (like copying links from TinyPad to a macro window) would be prohibitively invasive.

Yea, this is just within the Pad, like moving a set of links from one page to the other (reorganizing pages), the links will lose their functionality.

Are you getting an error of any sort? When you enter text like:

print("hello world")

and click the Run icon, it runs the page as if it was a lua script. There can be no macro commands in the script. It runs lua, not the macro command parser. /run and /script are macro commands also. Make sure those are removed from any scripts you want to run. ie: /run print("hello world") -> print("hello world")

Could make SHIFT while clicking page first/back/forward/last move the page. I'll probably add this. The ability to have multiple pads, or to create sections within the pad. This is actually one of the reasons I was considering bookmarks. For instance I'd create a "BG scripts" bookmark and anytime I create a new one I'd go to that bookmark and insert a new page in that area. AN UNDO FEATURE! It's been there for years! The little paw icon will undo any changes you make to a page before leaving it. The ability to have TinyPad feed a list, a line at a time, into the console box as if we had typed it (see script comment above). It does this now. But it can't do macro commands.

I have about 30 pages in mine, and from time to time I try to consolidate information and regroup it for best fit.

Two small gripes, since you've returned to the fold:
- Cutting/Pasting text that includes a link kills the link. For some reason the identifying code doesn't get copied.
- I can't get script-running to work. (I think I posted somewhere about this.) For example, I had made an entire list of sites to feed into QuestHelper to route through the Lunar Festival or the Fire Festival or such, but I couldn't run it through TinyPad. Does it run as a WoW script in the background?

I don't know that a web-like bookmarking feature would suit me, but some sort of quick ability to find specific pages would be good. Personally, I'd love to have tabs added down the side of the window with either numbers or custom short names.

Other features I would like to see:
- The ability to reorganize pages without a lot of cut/paste (on, or offline)
- The ability to have multiple pads, or to create sections within the pad.
- AN UNDO FEATURE!
- The ability to have TinyPad feed a list, a line at a time, into the console box as if we had typed it (see script comment above).

This has been, far and above, one of the most useful addons I've ever used. Thank you!

You can PM me or post here if you have a strong feeling one way or the other. Back in 2005 when this addon was first posted, the goal was to keep TinyPad as simple and to the point as possible. Over six years later, I have over 800 pages on my personal one now, filled with scripts and experiments and random notes of all kinds. I go back to specific pages often by searching for keywords (usually stuff like archaelogy scripts to save precious macro slots) and in reviewing the addon it seems a prime candidate for a rewrite and maybe a bookmarking ability. But in asking around, my 800+ pages seems way way more than others who use it. So I may just rewrite it to conform to "modern" methods and keep it simple as it is now.

Woops, I didn't realize until coming here to update the mod that I only posted for Cataclysm beta and not a live version. Sorry about that.

And sorry to all for the extremely long time between updates.
