Readme files are for pansy's and rose buds.... I'm a man... I don't need readme files :)

Got it John!

That's a GREEEEAT help!

Thanks a ton

Wow...with font formatting and bullets too.

Thanks Johnny Roy for your efforts. It is appreciated.

Doc

This is one of the best plugin options I've seen. It's not always crazy new transitions, etc. that facilitate things... as stated above, I can write in hours involved on that project, and any other thing I've been writing on 15 Post-its.

Johnny Roy for Nobel Peace Prize!!

Johnny Roy:

This is great stuff! Thanks again for your contributions "to the cause". I updated my Ultimate S this weekend, and feel good about dumping some of my hard-earned $$ VASST's way.

This was discussed on another forum a few months ago.

DirectX audio plugin called DXPad

Thanks for all the kind words. I really appreciate them and I enjoy being part of this community.

I've updated Notepad to version 1.0.1:

I added support for external file save for farss. It will simply use the same name as the project with RTF at the end. Nothing for you to specify. Just press the Settings icon and change your preference to use an external file and press OK to save the preference. The RTF file will be in the project folder along side the VEG file.

I added a time stamp for rmack350. I'll try and get the timeline position in there next.

I also stream-lined the font selection because the font dialog is so 1995. ;-)

This still doesn't do all the checking when you exit a project to make sure changes are saved so don't forget to use the diskette icon if you want things saved. I've left the ZIP file name the same so the URL doesn't change from above so the zip will say 1.0.0 but the installer inside will say 1.0.1.

I'll try and get it up on the official VASST Freeware page soon so you'll have a standard non-changing URL to download it from. I'm glad some of you are finding it useful. Hopefully more people will use it now that it uses an external file.

Enjoy!

Thanks Johnny,
I hope you didn't do that just for me, I hope others find it more manageable this way and then they can open the file in Wordpad, print it out, email it etc.

Johnny:

Talk about the devil in the details. Your integrated notepad is a great addition! I've already used it to document revision, the location of my renders and where in my project I plan on using it. Amazing what power a small addition can make.

Thank you!

Another note of thanks to Johnny Roy, for this and all his other fine work.

(And what a great world it would be if the gang at SCS had this sort of enthusiasm.)

Thanks, nice little tool.

"(And what a great world it would be if the gang at SCS had this sort of enthusiasm.)"

And who says they don't? Although, if I worked for SCS and poured my heart and soul into Vegas each and every day and then read some of the incredibly nasty stuff that some people say about SCS here on the forum, I might not be as enthusiastic about going to work as one might hope. If writing code were easy, then everyone could do it.

Not to demean JohnnyRoy's contribution in any way, but adding or fixing major features in a program that has thousands of lines of code is probably a little more difficult than writing the excellent extension that JohnyRoy has provided.

It was good to see that "DH", who I assume might be Dave Hill, has posted a beta .DLL to potentially solve the HDV black frame/crash issue. It looks like from the early reports, it is working. Thanks, DH.

Thanks Johnny for this ingenious toy!
It's so cool to be able to browse through my notes on each project, without the need to even open it in Vegas.

Johnny,

The only thing really missing is the right click options inside the text window (Copy. and especially paste...) Could you add this in the new version? Thanks a lot!

Just downloaded it and love it!

Totally love this, Thanks JR.

ps. to have it auto save on project exit as well would be fantastic - no chance of losing your notes.

> The only thing really missing is the right click options inside the text window (Copy. and especially paste...) Could you add this in the new version? Thanks a lot!

I'm working on the cut-copy-paste context menu now. For some reason it won't dismiss if you decide not to select anything and click outside the menu so I've got to figure out why it's behaving this way. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V already work but I understand it's nice to have a context menu.

> ps. to have it auto save on project exit as well would be fantastic - no chance of losing your notes.

I cannot make it save on project exit if you are saving to the project file itself because then the project would need to be saved but you have already exited. I can make it auto save if you are saving to an external file so I'll add that as an option to the next version.

I'm glad you find it useful.

Johnny,
What is the best way to print? Would I save to an external file and print from wordpad? If I select that in the options, does it automatically make the wordpad file next to the .veg?
Thanks again for this-mana from heaven!

PS: You could probably just copy and paste between VASST Notepad and windows notepad. I'm away from my computer, but will try that also.

> What is the best way to print?

Have me add a print button. ;-)

In the mean time, copy and paste into WordPad and print from there. Of course if you use the external file option you can just open the RTF file in WordPad as well.
