So after much troubleshooting, I've found that WIM is still buggy after 3.0.2 -- I've tried deleting all files, including from WTF and every folder that exists in the WoW folder and reinstalling fresh.
The problems I've seen is that it makes the Friend and Guild page (default button is O to open this page) - to run extremely SLOW. It also does not show who mesages are coming from in the minimap button.
Not sure if these issues are being worked on, but after removing WIM, all problems I had when 3.0.2 came out - with guild and messages - went totally away.
And yes please bring back the tabbed browsing its so needed.
Love the new design besides that, though. :) Keep up the excellent work on this awesome add-on!
please update tabbed windows it ist not working :(
Is there any way to turn of that little annoying sound you get when someone whispers you as was doable in the old version? If there is please tell me and if there aint please please put that ability back into the addon.
Exept that WIM is an awsome addon.(wich atm gives me headache with constant "pling" "pling" :-S ) Good work :)
I can't see any chat history in the IM windows, even though I have the options marked to do so. Everything's updated, working on the current beta, no errors popping up... just no history.
Am I missing something? Are other people having this problem?
Other than that, superb addon.
My question is this: the "Behaviors for State" dropbox offers several choices, one of which is "PvP". Is this BGs? If not, what is it? I have a friend who won't use WIM because she can't turn it off in BGs, and I am hoping that is what the "PvP" state is referring to.
I myself dont have them popup at all when i get a msg, id rather click to open when i get one ...
and talking about that.... Pazza it would be nice if you could put back a keybinding to open new messages like in 2.0 :)
Key bindings will return.
I am eagerly awaiting the "default" tabbed windows feature which I am sure will come in time :) (It's kinda the only reason I used WIM in the first placce. Keep up the good work, WIM is an amazing bit of programing :)
If you read through comments, I have stated many times, even in description, that I am adding the old features back one at a time. I rewrote WIM from scratch and did not have the time to finish all of its features for the WoW patch.
As far as you're Windows comment... I hate windows. lol. I use a mac. And if I had the patience, I would add the genie effect to the animations. lol. Eitherway, I thought that would be a nice treat for everyone. It can be disabled in the options.
For those with the crash, I am still working with some people to see if its fixed yet.
- tabbed windows
- "do not popup in combat" option
- cant disable autofocus on window popup
- "autofocus in cities" option
In other words i'd like to see WIM2 updated to work with 3.0.2
It's realy great addon but the overall impression from WIM3 is regress compared with WIM2. And those animated windows...??? r u big fan of microsoft? ;)
The only thing delaying the next update atm is the crashing when minimizing. I am trying to get in touch if those who are crashing so we can test somethings and figure out what is causing it.
I do have one error that i have found not sure if others have reported it yet but one problem i have run into is when i resize to a smaller size and usualy when i try to minmize it tends to crash wow ..but only if i resize it other wise seems to be working very nice so far
:D keep up the awsome job.
And it doesn't happen every time I minimize it either, but it happens about 75% of the time.
I'm also on a fairly high end PC.
Any ideas?
