Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Any chance of
1) Sorting folder and note names alphabetically
2) Right clicking a note and say move to folder. I say this as with 49 notes and 8 folders, it's almost to the point I can't move a note to a folder I want from the All Notes folder...
3) Extend character limit to a note (not so essential as others)
Maybe this is going to be addressed in the upcoming release?

They are extremely useful. Here are some of the uses I put them too:

1. A way to remember conversations you've had about obscure gameplay issues.
2. Great to create links to useful articles. Then if people ask in chat about stuff, you can just drag link into chat window.
3. Planning skills training for all ships I am interested in.
4. I also use them a lot for things like faction storyline mission counting. With links to locations/agents and time I can go back to a more profitable agent in lower sec system, using the expiration time I've notated after the double declining period has expired.
5. Noting how sales in various stations have gone. Whether there were price wars, volumes sold.

I have a note for every player ship in the game, named after the ship. These notes are stored in a folder for each letter of the alpha bit, so they are grouped by first letter of ship name.

The ability to alphabetize notes and folders would be huge for me.

I'd also appreciate the ability to relocate notes in their folders, because it was a huge pain in the ass to do when I created these notes and if I need to reorganize, it would be extremely helpful.

Other thing I noticed, if I Delete a note in a created folder, it does not delete it from all notes, could we make this happen too?

I think the reason people don't use the in-game notes and folders is because they are not really integrated into anything. You don't NEED to use them for anything.


I'm not suggesting we change this, but they really are just made for you to use like a sticky note. Write something down so you remember it next week, or you can look back like a Log of sorts.


But, I have my own notebook on my desk that I keep track of things with. If my clients takes a poop, that doesn't go with it.

1) There are logs for that? Try using this once a week to keep logs clean so it's easy to find archives http://code.google.com/p/evelogconcatenator/ Chat logs are normally found in ../Documents/EVE/logs/chatlogs . The app i link will put all the logs (even the gamelogs) together into single files that represent all the logs of the same channel for that month

2) Personally I just use my out of game browser... I play in fixed window so alt-tabs are easy....and I use two screens

3) EVEMon much?

4/5) Now these sound like decent reasons to use a Notepad....tho 5 could be done in a spreadsheet I guess hehe

Not saying I'm against fixes for the Notepad, just saying some of the things you use it for have some apps or processes already made for them :P

Xercodo: I guess i prefer to stay in game rather than flip apps all the time. The only time I flip io another app (Safari browser) is when I use Eve Central to select regions as the crummy in game browser does not work properly on a Mac with their website when selecting multiple regions for trade routes - ctrl-clicking...

That's what tab groups are for.
I have overview and other things at top right - Journal Cargo, Wallet, People & Places.
in left-middle I have group with mail, assets,market,Notepad all as tabbed pages in one pane.
at left bottom I have all the chat channels tabbed.


If I go into low sec I'll double click middle left tab group title, to minimise it all to a strip.

May have misread that btw - maybe you meant notepad app - in which case - sorry for mis-interpretting.

Talking of automating - would be good to see when you look at a faction's info tab, the count of missions completed per division. Or better still a factional sumamry dashboard with factions one axis, divisions in another and count in cells.
Which is one of things I do now manually with notes - especially as I sometimes have to double decline missions for a corp because of a lot of killing going on in low sec where I am being instructed to go. So I switch corps or agents, then go back to main one in 4 hours time.
When you look at Journal -> Missions have another column saying ok to decline again - (since 4 hrs has passed) - and yet another with security status where agent resides.

That's epic. I am going to have to use that. As someone with years worth of logs in multiple channels saved in that folder, I can barely open the folder anymore. I only wonder how I never thought of writing a script to do this beforehand ...

I'm not sure if I'll use their log cleaner or write my own, but I'll be using something, that's for sure.
