I am currently using embedded libs and updating with WUU. I am wanting to make the switch to external libs since I have been making changes to LUA in some of my addons.
How difficult would this be to do? Or is this not a good time to try with the updater? hehehe
so, in trying a roundabout way of dis-imbedding my libs, i have reinstalled my entire lib folder about 3 times....
could you put a stop button anywhere on the WUU?
and i thought that "scan directory" was only supposed to do a bounce on your local addon folder? when i empty my folder and do a scan, it tries to re-download all my addons that im trying to install without libs... >.< lol this sure is awkward.
Be sure to delete addons.wurm.xml from your WoW directory when you delete your addons-folder (and/or delete them all from within WUU)

Tips and advice appreciated.
While testing stuff for 1.7.573, I disembedded by enabling the option in preferences, selecting all WoWAce addons, and right-click-selected "Smartupdate" - it should handle it OK (some addons that haven't been updated in a while might be left as embedded, but other than that, most should be OK - right-click->"Update" to force single addons to "disembed")
The automatic dependency check is nice in theory, but currently, it just spams me with stuff that is not an issue. For example, it complains about every single lib from Ace3. It complains about missing AbacusLib when I have LibAbacus-2.0 installed. Would be nice if there were a way to tell WUU to ignore certain dependencies.

There's two reasons for that, sadly:
1) Addons with mis-stated dependencies, and
2) Addons with mis-stated "provides" (i.e. they don't list any or all the sub-addons they provide - Ace3 is a good example of this)
I'll make the test a bit smarter to (hopefully) counter this, and maybe also add some system where you can say that "LibAbacus-2.0 really is AbacusLib", and "don't worry about UTF8, I'm sure it's there somewhere"
Can anyone comment on how/if they have Auctioneer Advanced Suite downloading with WUU?
I've played with multiple setups including some in both this and th previous thread all of which seem to do nothing.
Thanks
i usually download and unpack it manually, then i scan the directory, set all sites but "Auc-Advanced" to "[related] -> Auc-Advanced", give "Auc-Advanced" itself the ID "AuctioneerAdvancedSuite" and set site to "Auctioneer". not the most convenient way, but it works for me.

Hi sid,
Try these instructions, they're based upon the fact the no Auctioneer Advanced Addons have been installed into the Addons directory
1. Run WUU
2. Choose Addon > New
3. Select the >>NewAddon<< entry
4. Right Click - Edit
5. Set the Friendly Name to Auc-Advanced
Set the Source Site to Auctioneer
Set the Site ID to AuctioneerAdvancedSuite
6. Save changes
7. Right Click - Version Check
8. Right Click - Update
9. Quit WUU, saving changes
10. Run WUU
11. Check Event Log
There will be some messages there which say:
Addon DebugLib has been flagged as missing
Addon Configator has been flagged as missing
Addon Babylonian has been flagged as missing
Addon SlideBar has been flagged as missing
12. Use Tools > Purge missing addons
13. Quit WUU
The Auctioneer Advanced Suite has now been installed :-)

Please try this and let me know how it goes.
Thanks for this. I never actually tried installing a new addOn with WUU. I guess I didn't think it would do that so I always just installed manually first then ran WUU after.
1. Run WUU
2. Choose Addon > New
3. Select the >>NewAddon<< entry
4. Right Click - Edit
5. Set the Friendly Name to DBM_GUI
Set the Source Site to DBM
Set the Site ID to core (can also be 'old' or 'alpha')
6. Save changes
7. Right Click - Version Check
8. Right Click - Update
9. Quit WUU, saving changes
* Removed last buttons from the Interface, replaced with Context Menu entry
* moved progress gauges to the Status Bar
* Show dependency missing dialog after version checks
* disabled automatic SavedVars check
* Added more checks to handle mis-spelt/renamed library names in the dependency checks
* Added option in preferences to disable automatic dependency check
Sorry for the delay, was trying some code, looking into Git, etc. Had to rollback most of it :(
You have "Allow WUU Beta Version" checked in the prefs?
I did get the notification, although it didn't autodownload it. Something about a missing crypto library in python. I suppose I'll have to look into that. "Soon." :-)

worked like a champ. I wonder why it doesn't want to work if it is already installed....

It doesn't seem to detect the site ID correctly. Same thing happened with DBM. When I replied that his instructions worked, what I had actually done was merely adjusted my existing installation of DBM to use the correct site ID and then forced an update.
This is odd: last couple of times WUU has tried to get the "Daily Quest Tracker" addon (folder name "Dailies") from WoWI, it failed with a "file is not a zip file" error *after* downloading the file - which is a zip file. Not sure what's going on there. After the failure, it reported the addon as having been updated, and updated the version tag. I downloaded dailies.zip manually (and Mac OS X unpacked it with no problem) and compared the file dates on dailies.lua and dailies.toc and confirmed that the update didn't happen, so I did it myself. Shouldn't have to do that, though. :(

Ooops, no, not at the moment :(
I've added it to the code now, so it'll be in the next beta (probably later today) ;)
