What is Ancestral Sources?

Post by NickWalker » 15 Jul 2011 19:14

I really appreciate the added publicity that these plug-ins will give to Ancestral Sources but I think that it is likely a large number of users will have no idea what Ancestral Sources is and to what the plug-ins refer.

Please can the descriptions for the Ancestral Sources plug-in(s) include a comment as to what Ancestral Sources is and where further information about it can be found (e.g. the knowledge base).

Thanks

Good idea!

I will look at adding A.S. details and perhaps help/hyperlinks to the GUI.
May have a wait a while, because we're off on hols for a few days.

Well that didn't take long - the GUI IUP library is similar to the GUI builder in AutoHotkey.
The top button opens a browser window on the Knowledge Base: About Ancestral Sources page.
The central buttons invoke Ancestral Sources in the chosen mode.
The greyed out ones will become enabled in later versions.
The radio button chooses the Close on Save Entry option.
The bottom button cancels the Plugin.
