thanks!!

Love these notes!!! Thank you for sharing!

You're welcome. I'm glad that you like this little suite .

I can't figure out how mto add a note and delete the default note.  Clicking on the body of the note does nothing.  Can multiple note pages be created?

Click to open the note file (TXT). Then, delete the text and replace it with yours. Only one page is created, but without limit. Only part of the note is visible on the skin.

Where is this note (TXT) file.  If I click on the skin I don't see an option to do that.  

Nevermind, I found it:  C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\NotesSuite\@Resources\Notes

Having to use a text editor rather than typing in place makes the suite a little less useful. 

?

The skin is designed to be simple to use. The user clicks on the skin and this opens a "txt" file. The user writes his text and saves it. The message appears on the skin. The purpose of this suite is to provide quick access to notes without having to search for a file on the HDD .

Something's not working then.  When I click on the skin nothing happens.  If it opens the editor from the skin that is all I need.  But for now, it doesn't open.

Hundreds of people downloaded this suite and you are the first who has this problem. It's strange. If you did not change the installation directory, you should be able to open the file. Do you has this problem with 3 skins ? It's really strange, because the files simply open with the left mouse button.

You can try to open the file from a different way. Change the code, in the file "notes.inc", in the folders "resources" and "measures". Change in the meter "[Notes1]", to last one of the file.
By defaut i use "LeftMouseUpAction". Try others way:

LeftMouseDownAction

RightMouseDownAction

RightMouseUpAction

LeftMouseDoubleClickAction

RightMouseDoubleClickAction

You can try too by holding down "CTRL" while clicking.

None of the actions work.  It either can't find the file or the default .txt opening application.  I am curious about something.  You define:

PathName=#@#Notes\Notes.txt

But then you hardcode:

LeftMouseUpAction=[#@#Notes\Notes.txt]

rather than using your PaythName var.

Little explanation on the meaning of "#@#Notes\Notes.txt". This means that the file is present in the "Resources" folder and the subdirectory "notes". It is here that we find the "txt" files.

The "PathName" is used by the plugin "quote" for the display of the note. The "LeftMouse..." has only for goal to open the file.

I do not know from where the problem comes, since I tested the skin again yesterday and it works for all other users. You can try my suite "Sephira". There is also a skin "notes" (with 3 notes in one). Sorry , I can not help more.

Some more info:  when I move the mouse over the notes skin, the text font changes size.  When I move off the skin, it reverts to iuts original size.  Is that normal behavior?

Yes, this is a "mouse over" action. A nice effect.

Maybe you can try a little tip:

Open "Notes.inc", in "Resources" folder and in the subdirectory "measures". Add a line to the meter "[OBR1]". The line is:

MiddleMouseUpAction=[#@#Notes\Notes1.txt]

Use the middle click of the mouse on the little circle (to the left), in order to open the "txt" file. You can try too with scroll action (with the wheel of your mouse):

MouseScrollDownAction=[#@#Notes\Notes1.txt]

MouseScrollUpAction=[#@#Notes\Notes1.txt]

If it's not good, change the path of the file (Notes1.txt). Write the full path (user\...).

However, if you can see the text (by default), it means that the skin perfectly functions. If you succeed by changing the themes with the central button of the mouse, you should be able to open the text file with the proposed method.

OR, ultimate solution. Create a variable on the "notes.ini" file:

note=

Then, on "notes.inc", change the path of "[MNotes1]" :

PathName=#note#

After that, add a line on the meter "[Notes1]":

Text=#Note#

With this, you can write your note directly on the "notes.ini" file, after the "note=". It is not

marvelous, but that will definitely settle your problem. And your note will be displayed.

UPDATE:  It was unable to find the folder for editing.  When I moved nots.txt to c:\temp and changed the .inc to pint there, the file was opened for editing.  Couple the embedded blank in my user name be causing a problem?  I know from my own coding that paths with blanks must be quoted. 

UPDATE 2:  I changed the action to LeftMouseUpAction=""#@#Notes\Notes.txt"" and now the text file opens.  You need two sets of double quotes around the []s.

I tried all but the ultimate suggestion so far.  It still won't open the editor.  My guess is the call to the OS to retrieve the default .txt editor is failing.  I do have a default editor for text files, just the basic notepad.  I will try using notepad++ to force an OS update.  <-- Tried and there is no difference.

As a test to see if my changes were being applied, I changed the tooltip for the circle to say Notes rather than Notes(1) and it fisplayed the new one properly.  

The user name can not cause problems. If it is recognized under Windows it is also under Rainmeter.

I use the Notepad to open the files "txt". So you have a problem with the editor. I did not understand that. There is an option with the right mouse button under Windows to open a type of file with a particular software. " Open" and "Choose Default Program ". Logically, with this action it should work. Otherwise, you need to clean the registry. If you have other problems under your Windows, maybe it will be great to repair it, with a new installation. If you have problems with the editor, I understand that the skin can not work .

The "tooltip" is just a information, in order that the user makes the difference between the 3 notes ( Note 1, Note 2 and To Do), when the skins are hidden.

I fixed the problem with the changes I noted as Update2.  Now I can edit and save and display the changed text.

UPDATE 2:  I changed the action to LeftMouseUpAction=""#@#Notes\Notes.txt"" and now the text file opens.  You need two sets of double quotes around the []s.

Correction:  I meant to say instead of the []s.  The double quote marks solved the issue I was having.  That is similar to the what we have to do in C++ when handling pathnames with embedded blanks.  The same changes made to Notes2.inc and ToDo.inc also fixed those skins.

It's good to know that it works. Thanks for the tip. The skins works fine without the double [], but if some users have the same problem, they know now how to solve it. Thanks .

I enjoy your notes skin very much now!  

Since my last name end with an "S", I changed "'s Notes" to "' notes", which is the English standard.  I'm curious if that can accomplished conditionally, using "s" when the username doesn't end in "s".

I'm glad you like this skin. Very happy to know that my work can be useful .

For "'s", I put it for the idea of belonging. I'm not English but French. My skill in this language is somewhat limited, lol. My user name is a shortened version of my nickname : "Sephi". This gives "Sephi's notes".
