New "Notes & Reminders" Plugin
Version 0.0.5.0
Updated by Georg Fischer for Miranda IM 0.9.2+ (may work on earlier versions
possibly down to 0.7.0 but not tested) and VS2008, based on code:
by Joe @ Whale (Joe Kucera) jokusoftware@gmail.com
Originally by d00mEr (Lubomir Ivanov) d00mEr@dir.bg
for Miranda ICQ 0.1.2.1+
written with Visual C++ 6.0
IMPORTANT: When upgrading to 0.0.5.0 (from 0.0.4.5-), it's recommended to make a backup of
the Miranda DB file, because the format for notes and reminder DB data has
changed. Allthough the new version should be able to read the old format, the
old plugin version will not be able to read the new format, in case you need
to downgrade plugin version again.
Description
-----------
This plugin allows user to create Sticky Notes, to
store some important data in a well visible place :)
New features allow to create reminders. This is a
note that will show up on specified date and time.
The notes are completely customizable.
Features
--------
+ Sticky Notes (each Note is limited to 16000 chars)
+ Reminders (each Reminder Text is limited to 16000 chars)
+ Reminder time input displays a preset list with times. For the current date (if date is not
changed) it displays presets for 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes and then every full and half hour. When
the time input is in current date mode, you can also enter a delta time by first entering a +.
For example +5 would specify in 5 minutes, +1:15 would specify in 1 hour and 15 minutes.
+ Allow change of fonts and colors
+ Allow setting default size for Notes
+ Notes always stay on top of all windows (unless option is disabled)
+ Show and Hide all notes
+ Show or Hide notes at startup.
+ Bring all notes to front (for notes that are not on top and are hidden behind other windows).
+ Hot Keys for New Note, New Reminder, Show/Hide notes and Bring All Notes to Front
+ Manage Reminder list.
+ Manage Notes list.
+ Quick delete all notes and/or reminders
+ Transparent Notes (on Windows 2000 or newer)
+ Language translations (see langpack_N&R.txt for details)
+ Select between 3 custom sounds to play On Reminder
+ Reminder alert sound can optionally play repeatedly at specified interval until user responds
to alert (makes it less likely to miss important reminders)
+ Font Colors
+ Reminder notification via E-mail or SMS.
To Do:
------
- Verify langpack for changes and new features introduced in 0.0.5.0
- User configurable icons through the Miranda icon configuration functionality
- Icons for : Fix/Move the note
- Text formatting support for notes
- "best fit" feature - by pressing one button I would adjust the size of the note automatically
- double clicking a note's title-bar scrolls up the note (to be just the title bar).
- import/export of all notes/alarms
- Reminder (daily, weekly or monthly) without a specified time? i.e. when you start miranda...
- Trigger on event (remind me when is user online)
- Unicode support (Use Japanese texts was garbled)
- Easier way to delete notes (like Ctrl-D or ctrl-shift-d)
Installation
------------
Just copy the dll into Miranda's plugin subdirectory.
Translation
-----------
see N&R-langpack.txt for details

Changes

-------
0.0.5.0
-------
* (Temporary) Developer: Georg Fischer, I just updated it to work properly with the latest Miranda
version and added some features and polish. I don't know if I'll do much more work aside from immediate
bug fixes, at least on any regular basis.
! BugFix: Custom frame drawing for notes to look nicer but also avoid issues especially with Aero.
! BugFix: Changed window type/parent for notes so that they don't show up on Windows alt-tab list
and other issues.
! BugFix: Cleaned up custom window drawing for notes windows, to hopefully work more solidly.
! BugFix: Fixed pasting into notes window, so it doesn't paste text formatting (as formatting
is not currently supported and would be lost next time Miranda starts).
! BugFix: Removed reminder reoccurrence dialog options, it would just confuse the user because
there is no support for that functionality in the code.
! BugFix: Time handling reworked, which hopefully also fixes reported issue with reminders triggering at
wrong time (an hour early or later). Special handling for daylight saving (summer time) begin
and end was also added, which in some cases could lead to some issues on old Windows versions
which have outdated being and end dates/times.
! BugFix: Potential crash bug with reminder list window and empty reminder note.
! BugFix: Transparency slider (in options) now uses correct direction, previously 100% transparent was
actually 100% Opaque. Also clamped the internal max value to avoid 100% transparent windows.
! BugFix: Creating note from a reminder could result in a crash or corrupted data if note was deleted
before the reminder.
! BugFix: A few other unlisted bug/issue fixes.
+ Change: Changed DB format to be more flexible and easily allow adding features in the future without
breaking existing notes and reminders.
+ Change: Changed "Show notes at startup" to "Hide notes at startup" because that better matches
actual behavior.
+ Change: Changed the default menu item order to have New Note and New Reminder first as they're the
most commonly used commands.
+ Optimization: changed list iterations in various placed to directly iterate linked lists instead
of using index based for-loops.
+ Optimization: reminder list sorted by trigger time, which reduces update function to a single
check 99.99+% of the time.
+ Feature: Hotkeys, fonts and colors now configurable through the common config interface.
+ Feature: Notes save/restore their current scroll position.
+ Feature: Notes title bar is configurable to select prefered date and time formats or disable them.
+ Feature: Buttons in notes title bar can be disabled (all functions are also available in the context menu).
+ Feature: Bring All Notes to Front command, brings all visible notes in front of other windows
(without changing the on-top state).
+ Feature: Tweaked notes window context menu and added a couple of commands.
+ Feature: Option to make "Add Reminder" button in New Reminder dialog close the dialog (previously
it was required to click Close after Add Reminder to get rid of the dialog).
+ Feature: Reminder alerts now generate a Miranda system event, meaning it will blink the tray icon
which the user has to click in order to open the reminder dialog. Previously the reminder
dialog opened automatically which could interfere with the application currently being used.
+ Feature: Delete confirmation dialogs for all notes and reminder delete actions, to avoid accidental
deletion.
+ Feature: Reworked reminder date and time input controls. In particularily the time edit control works
more like it did in ICQ aswell as allowing user to enter custom values.
+ Feature: Per-reminder option to have alert sound repeat (until reminder event is acknowledged by
clicking the tray icon). Repeat interval can be selected between 5 and 60 seconds.
+ Feature: Set custom background and text color on individual notes.
+ Feature: Set custom title/caption on individual notes. (max 63 characters)
+ Feature: Select between 3 sound presets or disable sound completely for individual reminders.
+ Feature: Edit/Update reminders.
+ Feature: Update reminder message in reminder notify dialog, so that the text can be updated
before chosing to remind again.
+ Feature: Notes list dialog.
+ Feature: Notes/Reminders list dialogs resizable with persistent window and column sizes.
