v1.0 of this plugin has been uploaded.

Requirements: VirtualDJ Professional v7.0 or later

This is a fairly new class of plugin for me - and others it would seem too. It appears on the plugins page under "Others" as SBDJ Notepad. As you can see there is a text input window and three buttons.

The filename is automatically chosen and saved in the Documents\VirtualDJ folder. The filename is based upon the date and time that the current VDJ session was started.

Since this page is a pain to navigate to in a hurry, another option exists. A popup window can be displayed from the plugin page. The plugin also monitors the variable $sbnotepad_show. Currently the following actions exist:

set '$sbnotepad_show' 1              Opens the notepad popup
set '$sbnotepad_show' 2              Opens the notepad popup maximised
set '$sbnotepad_show' 3              Closes the notepad popup


The plugin does not require activation - once installed it runs *all* the time that VDJ is running. To disable you have to remove it from the Plugins\Others folder.

The plugin also creates an ini file that stores the popup window location and dimensions. You can also modify the font size in this file.

Let me know what you think, once (if) it is approved by the team.

Maybe I'll add some tabs at a later date. It was aimed at being simple though - pop up, write, save if you want kinda thing. No complexity ;)

1 thing that keeps happening now is, when I open it it always shows the last note. How do I get it to display an empty sheet everytime?

Thats the whole point though isn't it, you don't want the notes to disappear every time you save or close the window do you?

I could easily add a clear button or some other way of clearing?
 
Posté Wed 13 Oct 10 @ 7:23 pm
Yeah your right, lol! I think a clear button would be nice though. Then I could clear it out after I have saved it or eles it would just keep adding too.

Thanks for your time

Love this plugin.

I use if for requests etc so I wouldn't want a blank page everytime.

However a clear button would be good at the end of or beginning of a gig. :-)

Thank you all.

Great plugin mate.. it will certainely make my djlife easier, and i hope that your ToDoList is long enough to make everyone happy !

Just a quick question for SBDJ does this save the notes if the laptop was to crash.

For example if I used it to make a note of requests and the laptop crashed would I lose the list?

Running Windows 7 if it makes a difference

If you click save, then no, all text will be saved to a file automatically.

Adding an autosave would be trivial... :)

No, it is for example: "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\VirtualDJ\Plugins\Other"

Scott, it really ROCKS!!!!! something I've been using as a separate plug in, now inside the VDJ.
Thanks for your help.
BTW, I using it just to have some lyrics and many others signs to be displayed at night.
Cheers

Wow,

Love this plug-in.
Finally I can get rid of my papers.
I'll carry a few documents with tips & tricks on music choices, customer demands & requirements ....

If you could build in tabs and make that for each tab we can load another document, this feature would become a super tool (although it is that already)
Don't know if this is possible.

1e tab: tips & tricks
2nd tab: customer requirements
3th tab: music requests (on the fly requests)
4th tab: keyboard shortcuts

The number of tab tabs shown could be in the ini file

Thanks for looking to it.

Regards,

Johans
