__ New in 1.6 __
- Link support (for items, quests, spells and tradeskills)
To summon: /tinypad or /pad or set a key binding
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 on link support __
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 or quest as you ordinarily would to chat.
To view links: Click them.
To send links: Shift+click to chat as you would normally.
Links can't be copy-pasted unfortunately (addons can't play with the clipboard), but you can link it to yourself and insert a link elsewhere in the text via chat.
Links may display only a handful of characters, but they have many hidden control characters (especially tradeskills). The EditBox is not intended to handle massive amounts of text, so keep that in mind if trying to cram the entire contents of AtlasLoot into one page.
__ Notes __
Searches are case insensitive.
You can bind a key to search.
Pages aren't "saved" until you leave the page, so expect Search to not find new stuff on your current page.
While locked, the window won't go away with ESC, but you can still toggle it with /pad or a key binding.
You can also run pages with /script TinyPad.Run(page)
I can't seem to add links. I have shift-clicked from links in chat, atlasloot, bags, etc... and nothing works. Do I need enable the feature somehow? Thanks.
is there a script function that can be used to copy an entire page into raid chat (example instructions for a boss in naxx that is over the normal copy and paste character limit)?
I have a request, was wondering if you could add another box to the side of Tinypad that links to each page you have created by listing the page names in a certain order.
Basically, I want a quick way to look through all the pages of information. Kinda like a collapse and expand system thats in windows.
I wanna second the minimap button. I'm used to going to a minimap radial to open most of my add-ons. having that ability with tinypad would make it perfect.
To be honest i didn't think the fix would be that simple. That's a great fix thanks gix! I'll have it in next update.

Originally posted by gix Seems like the scrolling bug I've been experiencing since forever is still in TinyPad. (Is that only me or does noone else notice that?)
I replaced this
Code:
if ( max > 0 and (self.max ~= max) ) then
self.max = max
scrollBar:SetValue(max)
end
with some snippet I use for textareas:
Code:
if self.max and max > self.max
and abs(self.max - floor(scrollbar:GetValue())) < 0.001 then
scrollbar:SetValue(max)
self.max = max
end
Now inserting new lines does not scroll to the bottom all the time.
On the title thing, it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately, as I have over 400 pages now and I'm often going back to specific pages.
What I may do is add bookmarks or "star" pages on a sidebar that can pull out or collapse in, with the first non-whitespace line as its tooltip. But no guarantees. I tried to attach some bookmark-looking banner icons to the bottom of the window and it looked awful.
btw fun tip with the tradeskill links in the version posted today: tradeskill links seem to persist even if their creator has logged off. So you can collect the tradeskills of various guildmates and then refer to it anytime to see what they can make.
Excellent notepad. I've been using Notepad from the Cosmos package for years, and have been looking for a SIMPLE replacement for a while now. Since Notepad is broken in the 3.02 PTR, it was nice to try TinyPad there and see that it worked.
Might it be possible to add a field next to the page number for a user-defined title for the page? And perhaps a sidebar which would simply list the page numbers and their titles, so that a user could click on a page number or title and jump directly to that page.
