Gnometer Notes: Adding more pages?

Post by Clockw0rk »

I began tinkering with this in attempt to add more pages rather than just page 1 and page 2, but as soon as I got to the page switching button function I realized it was going to be considerably more complicated than I thought. It seems easy enough to add links to additional notes files, but putting in buttons to switch between them seems a bit... iffy.

What I'd like, if possible, is to have support for five pages. While two pages is excellent for separating work and play, it leaves me lacking when I want to also put on my netflix queue, books to read or websites to go to later. The current style of having a button for each note page would work fine; though I suspect if someone wanted to add even more notes it might be best to use a left/right arrow to scroll between the different note files.

At this point I thought I'd ask which method would be easier and if there's any examples I could reference to try and do it myself... or perhaps I should just submit this as a feature request for the next version.

Thanks in advance,
Clockwork

Theres multiple ways to do this. Using meter groups is the easiest one to do and theres also the SetVariable way to do it.
I have three rules when I'm trying to help you.
  • Don't get mad when you don't understand something
  • Be VERY specific with what you ask for.
    The more specific you are, the higher the quality of support you receive.
  • Do not just copy and paste what I put in examples and come back saying it doesn't work.
    It does work, but I purposely left blanks that you need to fill for your specific needs.
