[Guest] [ravensong]: Is WIM going to be updated for the new patch? It gets a LUA error every time people log on bnet or pst me, because "
[Guest] [ravensong]: "surname" is now a nil value.
[Guest] [Dethedrus]: Since WiM is obviously quite dead, is there ANYTHING else out there that even comes close to replicating it's functionality?
[Guest] [Harshmage]: So the "surname" can be removed from the realID detection, in WIM.lua
[Guest] [Harshmage]: but fixing the tutorial popup and other errors is probably not going to happen without a major rework
[Guest] [menace97]: quite dead?
[Guest] [Nytetears]: I am trying out tell track I wish WIM would update I much prefer it but there are too many errors to try and use it now
[Guest] [Erudan]: Wim is being updated on Curse.

I have been a long time WIM user and I have to say I absolutely love it!

Over on the right hand side, you have the buttons Invite, add friend, ignore, and the information button.

It seems you have room for about 2 more buttons. I think it would be interesting to have 2 custom macros that you could place there and hit that would send a message to that user. These could be filled in inside the options part of WIM or just be completely ignored by the user.

I know I've wanted to use something like that a few times!

Let me know if you think this would be a good idea or not.

Good idea

[Pazza]

I did design the shortcut bar to be extendable however I don't remember how far i got to writting the API for it. Mainly the code I have in place is to make it easier to add new buttons later in time. Now before I say no, let me propose another idea...

As of the latest release, I added a right click menu to the message box. It has recently sent messages as well as the emoticon list. Would it be to your liking for me to add a macro interface to that menu? basically a list of custom canned responses you would like to save? Let me know. I'm just trying to keep the window itself less cluttered. I can add keywords to the macros like %n for the users name %l level, %c class etc.

I welcome everyone's feedback on this.

[GhostfromTexas]

A right click macro setup would be nice, as long as it's not into too many sub-menus.

I definitely think that would be a great alternative though.

[GhostfromTexas]

Any outlook on this being in the next version? I know you mentioned it, didn't know it's feasibility thought.

Thanks,
GFT

It wont make it to 3.0.8 but I'll implement it in a soon to follow release. I hate creating UI.. and I know there will have to be a UI to add/edit/delete macros. That's whats holding me back to be honest :-)

[GhostfromTexas]

It's been awhile since I mentioned this. I do see the right click menu that was implemented, but I don't see the 'macro' section that was discussed. Any news?
