hello,

in the minimap menu,
the "Deactivate Wim" option should not be the first one in the menu,
it should bet the last one.

I have always been a big fan of WIM but a couple of changes that have occured really irk me. First that tabbed messenger boxes was taken away. Now when you get wispers you get pop up boxes all over your screen sucks when you in a raid. Secondly with the latest update. whats with the box sliding in and out of the screen randomly all the time. I am still a really big fan of the addon but would like to see these two items fixes in future realeses.

you have to go into your options to switch on the tabbing option. Just type in /WIM, then go to Tab options and click on "automatically group whispers".

And the reason the box slides in and out of the screen all the time is because you're going in and out of combat.

BTW, did I mention thank you for the update? I meant, tytytytyty for the update :D

Whenever I link an item fron Ludwig or even from my inv I get 2 links instead of one pasted in the chat window. Also, if I type any text be4 the links it gets deleted. If I send one item then try to paste one more it will repaste also the first item with the second one, until I close and reopen the whisper window. Any lights?

Hello,

1. The options in the minimap icon are not translated (in the german version)
2. When i use the option "Show all messages" all windows are shown exactly one over the other.
How can i manage it that the windows are shown cascaded?
I tried out a lot in the options, but the output is always the same (one exactly over the other)...

1. translations are added to WIM as users donate their time and send me updated translation files.

2. sounds like you have the cascade option off. /wim Window Settings, and check cascade windows. Let me know if that fixes your problem.

Just want to add, a window is positioned only upon creation. Simply changing your options wont move the windows. You will have to end the conversations. Simply hiding them will not invoke placement methods.

1. Here are the german translations for the english text in the minimap:
Show All Windows --> Zeige alle Fenster
Hide all Windows --> Verberge alle Fenster
Show Unread Messages --> Zeige ungelesene Nachrichten
(shorter: Zeige ungelesene Nachr.)

Verlaufsanzeige (correct)
Einstellungen (correct)

2. The cascade option is on (i tested all options here, but the output is always the same)
Example:
When i get 3 whispers from 3 different persons, an i use "show all Messages" (with cascade option on, donw&right), i get all windows exactly one over the other.

Looks like this:
xxxxxxxxxxxx
x x
x x
xxxxxxxxxxxx

I would like to get this output;

xxxxxxxxxxxx
x yyyyyyyyyyyy
x y zzzzzzzzzzzz
xxy z z
yyyz z
zzzzzzzzzzzz

I tested all options (cascade on, down & right), but output is always the same...

This is an issue since WoW 2.0 (TBC). There is no way around this. you can not call those secured commands through a wim window (or any window for that matter execpt from the chat frame's edit box.

I'm going to need you're help on this one as I am still unable to reproduce this problem. The only thing I can think of is there being a foreign problem/another addon using filters incorrectly. There is no reason that nil should be passed through the way you are describing. Do me a favor and have WIM and DBM as the only addons running. See if you still have this problem.

Same Problem here.
I tested every addon and DMB is the only one which causes the problem
with WIM,...

Upon updating today, I can no longer see my side of any private chats (either in WoW chat windows or WIM). I did get some error pop-ups, including the one previously listed including WIM and DBM. I am not on the PTR.

On initial outgoing whisper, I get this:

Date: 2009-03-19 21:17:42
ID: 5
Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ..\AddOns\DBM-Core\DBM-Core.lua line 1570:
attempt to index local 'msg' (a nil value)
Debug:
[C]: ?
DBM-Core\DBM-Core.lua:1570: filterFunc()

Outgoing whisper is received, though there is no local echo (either in WIM or WoW -- I've toggled the suppress option). Incoming whispers are received properly. History does not record outgoing whispers. Will check tomorrow whether disabling DBM resolves the issue -- though DBM is sorta important to keep active.

Thank you. Superb addon. Been a fan a long time.

Hi Pazza, I love your AddOn :D There is only one thing I would love if it could be changed. I use a link AddOn, http://fizzwidget.com/linkerator/ .

You can go to the website, there is a little example of it.
I would love if you could enable so they worked to together, instead of
'/s [Jagal Pearl]' for example

Hope you will think about it ;)

Within my own tests, I am unable to reproduce this. I created a test MessageFilter and registered it and WIM is handling them correctly. Might be an issue with DBM. Now, also note if you are on the PTR, DBM will not work with 4.05 since the Message Filter's have been changed.
