Thanks for the report, the ticket and work around.

1.0.5 is now out with a more complete fix of this issue. (There are now both GetDungeonDifficulty() and GetRaidDifficulty().)

For anyone currently having an error pop up with GetCurrentDungeonDifficulty() being null, Blizzard changed that function to GetDungeonDifficulty()
I have been able to get mine working temporarily until this is updated here (i'm sure it will be very soon) by modifying one line in Abilities.lua in the BossNotes_Abilities folder:

what was:

function BossNotesAbilities:GetDifficulty ()
	local rawDifficulty = GetCurrentDungeonDifficulty() 
	return bit.lshift(1, rawDifficulty - 1)
end

becomes

function BossNotesAbilities:GetDifficulty ()
	local rawDifficulty = GetDungeonDifficulty() 
	return bit.lshift(1, rawDifficulty - 1)
end

Change is from GetCurrentDungeonDifficulty() to GetDungeonDifficulty()
Hope this helps and is not unwanted assistance.

and with this change i am able to access my old bossnotes again.

Great addon! I would like to put up a suggestion to allow sending of information to custom channel and whisper (a textbox to enter the target name). Something similar to "recount".

Keep up the good work!

Personal notes are stored in <World of Warcraft>/WTF/Account/<Account>/SavedVariables/BossNotes_PersonalNotes.lua.

the best way is to open the folder: BossNotes_Tactics then the file Tactics-enUS.LUA Have a look at the format there. Just edit this text file using Wordpad/Notepad if you want to know which Encounter is which boss look up the number on Wowhead e.g. encounter:11520 go to http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=11520 This will be overwritten when you download a new version. hopefully Bethink will tell you which file to edit for personal notes offline Kaz

Is there a way to edit your notes outside of WoW?

Thanks for the info regarding that bad path within the ZIP. This has been fixed in the new beta release.

I like the idea about printing notes to the party/raid. Creating a ticket for this.

You need to rename the Addon folder. :p It's currently boss-notes, instead of BossNotes. ^-^

Also, since I can't test it out atm, is there a way to print notes to your party? That'd be awesome for people that don't have the addon. And making boss explanation easy/quick.
