Ok, that's what I did, but it would be nice to have that function built into Minion.
I have written a map program, external to minion like the old mapmon from ffxi, that uses data from Minion to display items on it, like the name of the zone. It also shows a marker for your current position and direction on the map as well as the aetherytes and fates (with level range, fate name and % completion). I think it's very handy to have up on one monitor while i'm playing the game on another. I rarely have to open the in-game map anymore. One thing i've noticed about the fate information from minion is the duration is always 0. I assumed that should be the time remaining for the fate, but i'm not sure. I would have liked to have added the time remaining to the fate label as well. It also has a feature so that you can check off a list of fates that you're interested in and when they pop on the map, it plays a wav file to alert you. It's a work in progress but it's coming along nicely.
