I don't have any centered plugins, nor do I have any secondary panels. Yet the latest version found on WoWI seems to have problems remembering that half my plugins are enabled. Every time I log back into game (but seemingly not after a /reloadui) I have to go to the DS prefs and disable/enable one of the "missing" plugins, and then everything that was missing is shown again.
I get this exact same behavior with .02 beta on WoWI
I heard that DS can looks like Fubar, does someone have an example (screenshot) and maybe his savedVariable (in order to copy it :p, and list his broker addons)
DockingStation is an addon for displaying LDB based plugins. Although it is still in beta, I feel that it is now at a point where it is suitable for everyday use.
Interesting situation with my setup. Entirely my own fault, but you might be interested anyway.
I'm running two Broker displays: Docking Station and Carousel. My "text displayers" (guild, friends, outfitter, FPS, latency etc.) I have in two Docking Station bars where they can be read at a glance. All of my other little icon-y things and launcher-type things, I have secreted away in a little Carousel window where they can be ignored until needed.
With the change to Docking Station with Options being in its own folder and being load on demand - funny things are happening in my interface options window.
Essentially, it seems that Carousel has decided that Docking Station Options is a broker plug in. So, to make changes to my Docking Station settings or plug ins, I have to burrow into Carousel's plug in list. Everything seems to work from in there. It just confused the heck out of me until I found it.
Again, a unique situation and maybe I'm stupid for trying to run two displays. but outside of this, they've been playing very nicely together and really doing wonderful things for my UI.

Thanks in advance
DS should emulate Fubar from the get go. The only thing you need to do is open it's options up (I think the DS button displays as as default) and turn on the LDB addons that you want to display on your bar/bars.
DockingStation is awesome. LDB is great in that everyone can pick the 'best' display manager for their needs. Mine were a full blown FuBar replacement. DockingStation fit that bill and more.
Thanks for putting in the time to create what is imo the best display mod period.
As a data source author I have a request to Vexxilus about DockingStation : could you please output errors that happen in dataobject handlers ?
This is quite simple, by example by defining the following safecall function in Plugins.lua and using it instead of pcall:
local function safecall(...)
local success, message = pcall(...)
if not success then
geterrorhandler()(message)
end
end
-- Later
safecall(tooltip.SetOwner, tooltip, self, 'ANCHOR_NONE')
The "geterrorhandler()(message)" part outputs the error message using the current errorhandler without any side effect.
could you please output errors that happen in dataobject handlers ?
The next version I'll set it up so that if you are showing warnings/errors during plugin creation it will also show errors thrown by plugin script handlers.
Could you please adding the following features to DockingStation:
1) Display an translucent overlay (or maybe set a minimal alpha value) over unlocked panels. It would help people (like me) that sets a transparent background.

You can just enable the DS launcher in DS, and turn it off on Caro'.
Fortress gathered the button as well, at first.

Curse PremiumHaven't noticed in the latest build. Will keep an eye out.
Bleh. :p
A fact which invariably causes confusion every time I recommend Docking Station to a soon-to-be-ex FuBar user. :p

Curse PremiumWould it be possible to overide the labels of LDB plugins with own values?
Keep up the great work!
Kind regards

That's the weirdest policy I've ever heard.
