Maybe you could make it an option when creating a reminder whether to have a pop up reminder or not.

Thanks again for all you do.

Thurallor

Hey robhupf,

Please try the new version (1.40). It adds (optional) popup notifications.

It also adds support (in a way) for your desire to have reminders that occur, for example, every 20 minutes. You can configure the "postpone" button that appears when a reminder expires. Right-click on it to define what it does.

Best regards,
Thurallor

Yes, that does work great. The notification popup works for me and the repeat options as well. Thanks so much for adding those features.

Hello Thurallor,

Really like this plugin - it has helped me with many different tasks in game.

I do want you to know that although I haven't been able to narrow down exactly what action is causing it (still working on that), I've narrowed it down that something to do with your plugin is causing the long-standing camera zoom bug to happen more frequently for me. If you're unfamiliar with the bug, here, here and here will explain it a bit better. There are a ton of threads about it. I'm fairly certain it has to do with the closing of the main window and changing/losing focus....but I'll keep working on it and update here when I think I might have it figured out.

This bug is annoying because the only way to fix it is to completely exit the game. Logging the character out has no affect once the bug starts.

I narrowed it to your plugin by only having that plugin load, having the reminder popups set to "at login" and the only actions I performed were opening the main plugin window by clicking on the icon, resetting the timer and closing the window via the X - to have the mouse zoom suddenly stop working. It's pretty predictable.

I've narrowed it down that it has something to do with the 'Defer this until next login' arrow on the main window (not on the popup).

Hi SidTheMadHatter,

Thanks for reporting the issue. It'll be fixed in the next version, assuming the root cause is the same one as I have identified previously.

Meanwhile, there is a (cumbersome) workaround: Unloading and reloading the plugin should fix the problem.

Edit: This might help.

Edit 2: The problem is fixed in version 1.44. Thanks again for your very specific bug report!

Hello Thurallor,

Thank you so much for the fast response and I can't wait to see the next update!

I'd love to be able to set the default time to "never". I use this plug in in a way that might not be intended. I use it to keep track of treasure caches and dwarf markers I come across before I have to go back and finish the deeds. It's great for "dropping pins" and leaving all sorts of reminders and I also get the reminders upon log in to craft the alliance rep I'm lacking. Thanks for this great plugin.

Thurallor

Thanks for the suggestion. Adding this feature in version 1.46.

Thanks for the great plugin! There are two features that I think would be very useful:

1. The current design is good at answering the question "What tasks can I do now?", but it is not very good at answering "How long do I have to do X?". For recurring reminders, I would love to have a column that showed the time left until reset. That way, when you have a bunch of things to do, you can easily choose the one that is most urgent.

2. A way to easily tell the plugin that you've completed a reminder (i.e. "I've done task X for this week"). A button or checkbox on the main panel for each reminder that doesn't auto-complete would be perfect (or maybe even for the auto-completing ones as well in case you don't want to be reminded about a particular item until its next cycle).

Are instance chest locks exposed by the API? I'm assuming not, since they are relatively new, but they would obviously be very helpful for instance reminders.

Thurallor

Good idea. I will look into adding a "Next reset" column (hidden by default) in the next release.

In the meantime, you could create a new category called "Deadline", with a highly visible color such as red. Then clone your existing reminders, change their category to "Deadline", and set their Time field accordingly. When they expire, you can click the "postpone" button () in the Time column. (You can change the behavior of this button by right-clicking on it.)

I believe what you're asking for is already implemented. You can enable the "Checkbox" column to show a checkbox for each reminder. The plugin remembers the checked/unchecked state, but otherwise the checkboxes have no effect. (To clear all checkboxes, click the checkbox in the column heading.)

If, on the other hand, you want to advance the "Time" field a certain interval, that's what the "postpone" button () is for. Let me know if these features aren't sufficient.

I can observe everything that happens in the chat window. When the quests for the raid are completed, a reminder will be created (if you have enabled automatic reminders for repeatable quests).

Theoretically I could create some reminders when the user does the "/raid locks" command in the chat window. But I'm not a raider (I only play warden) so I need someone to thoroughly explain the system to me and be willing to help with testing. (Actually completing a raid is even more difficult for me than getting invited to one.) Ideally, someone would put complete and up-to-date information on lotro-wiki. Then I could evaluate the best way to support it.

Dwarrowdel

Fantastic, thank you!

I don't think the checkbox column is precisely what I'm hoping for, because it doesn't update the Time column (or the number of "active" reminders displayed in the icon). The postpone button is almost what I'm looking for, except I believe that it requires me to remember what the reset time should be -- at the very least it's not a simple button click.

I'm using the plugin primarily to keep track of daily & weekly objectives. When I set up the reminder, I choose the reset time, and I'm not going to want to change it. The way it works for automatic quest reminders is exactly what I want, but with a way to trigger that manually (by perhaps clicking a button that tells the plugin "I did this task").

I'd be happy to help with this! If you want to chat, send me a private message and we can find a convenient way to communicate.

I've collected a couple additional feature requests recently:

1. When automatic quest reminders are created (after clicking the "Yes, remind me" button), they don't show up in the reminder list until the quest is completed. However, some quests take a long time to complete, and may be forgotten before they are finished. Would it be possible to have them show up in the list (uncompleted) as soon as the "Yes, remind me" button is clicked?

1. A friend suggested having a column for Priority (high, medium, low) and, if possible, a way to restrict the number of active reminders displayed in the icon to a specific priority. For example, this person has a lot of low-priority tasks that they want to remember, but don't necessarily want to be reminded to do -- they want to do their high-priority tasks and then be able to see a "0" in the icon.

Again, I can't stress enough how great this plugin is. But it is so powerful that it opens up a lot of really exciting options, and I'm happy to help in any way I can!

I added the "Next reset" column in v1.51. Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

The "postpone button" can now be used to advance the expiration time to the next reset time (if configured to do so).

Will do.

This is implemented in v1.51. Just click the "Now" checkbox before clicking the "Remind me" button.

This is certainly doable. I'll put it on my wish list.

Thanks again for your feedback!

Dwarrowdel

From my experience with it so far, it's exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks!

This is great! I've found one minor bug with it, though: If the Next Reset reads "-" , then if you right-click the postpone button and select "Defer it until next scheduled reset time" as the action, then when you hover over the postpone button, the tooltip says "Turn off the timer". Maybe this option shouldn't even be available for reminders that don't have a next reset time?

Thanks again!

Thurallor

That is working as intended, although maybe the description could be clearer (I'm open to suggestions). Since the next scheduled reset time is "never", and you have configured the postpone button to "defer it until the next scheduled reset time", then clicking the button will set the expiration time to "never", which is called "turning off the timer".

The question is, what do I do if you have previously configured the button to "defer until next scheduled reset time", and only afterwards change the "next reset time" to "never"?

It's a lot easier for me to keep the two configurations separate; and in combinations that don't make a lot of sense (such as the one cited), just try to do the least-ridiculous thing.
