I remember tekkub said on irc something about only registering bagupdate events when the arkinventory frame is open, and only sorting (or building or whatever) the inventory onshow of the bag frame.

1.26 sort of does this, if the window is not open it wont calculate anything, still needs to scan the bag though. although i could delay this until the window is opened, will need to move things around a bit but might be worth it.

ps: it also spams debug messages in edit mode like Barnum=n :)

damn, i used a print instead of a debug when i has having a problem with the bars. it's "fixed" in my working copy now

pps: at mailbox the mainbag does also open (can you surpress it?)

sorry, thats a blizzard thing. i'm not going to interfere with the blizzard bank/backpack/bag frames at this point.

I have a fix for deDE, since it's broken in your latest beta. May I commit it and if yes, where to? ;)

um, not sure, i'm not very good with this svn stuff, there must be some way for you to commit just that change and for me to get just that without stuffing up the code i already have? if you have to, just create a new tags and i'll pull the deDE out

Also I can't get Professions or Class categories to work, their menu is empty .. are they kinda hardcoded?

kinda, yes, because they're system based i didn't see any need to not have them hardcoded, they're in a couple of separate hardcoded tables that get merged (with the dynamic custom categories) into a single dynamic category table that gets used to display all of them

When I go to the bank, ArkI opens both the default bank frame, and my inventory frame on the bank screen, so I have to switch to my Character Inventory manually, and then I don't get a clear & sorted view of my bank items. I tried turning off Open Bank by default, but that didn't seem to make much difference.

the trunk release does that, only has a single window, the 1.26 beta has separate windows for bank, bag and keyring so you can see everything at the same time - unless you mean something else is going wrong in 1.26?

The most straightforward way to deal with people giving codefixes is for them to generate a patch through subversion (be it tortoise or whatever) which is basically a diff file you can then use to merge into your working copy, check the changes, and commit them, especially if you've already edited the last commit and are working on new stuff.

Whenever I goto mailbox or bank or vendor, etc, my backpack opens up (F12). Would be nice if AI kept it from opening.

it's a blizzard function, remove arkinv and it'll still happen. apart from that i wont be touching the blizzard frames any time soon becuase not being able to access your bags/bank if something goes wrong with this mod is a major pain.

Most items just don't seem to sort without manually telling them what is what. Like when I make a region "CONSUMABLE" I'd expect all potions and food and drink to go there, but only potions go there. Food and Drink don't appear to be assigned to any of the default categories.

if blizzard tagged it as consumable then it'll be in the consumable category (as of 1.26) FOOD and DRINK i've added separate categories for (and tooltip searches to put things in there)

Also, any sort of food type item for cooking, NONE of it is assigned to the COOKING profession. Same with cloth, should be assigned to TAILORING, etc. The list goes on and on. Even my Totems and Ankhs don't appear to be assigned to the SHAMAN category. Anyways my point is that it would be nice if AI could use some sort of external database of predefined category assignments for items.

my biggest gripe with this is that not everyone is a tailor, not everyone is a cook. runecloth to me is for first aid (which is where i've put mine), and while i do cook some people use food to feed to their pets, not cook. if an item has only a single purpose then it can be set as such, but when it has more than one i'd prefer to leave it with it's blizzard tag and let the player decide to recategorise it.

I don't know if there are any ACE addons that provide this or not... I remember a long long time ago there was this addon called RegeantInfo, it was simply a database of items and their matching categories that other addons could use for sorting items similar to what I'm talking about.

i think there are but as above, most items have multiple categories so i'm going with a minimalistic approach.

An option to hide empty slots (we already have a used/total counter) would make me a happy gnome.

im adding the ability to hide categories, this will cover what others want as well, you should be able to hide the EMPTY categories if you dont want those shown.

The item database does need a lot of work, yes. It's not currently using the Ace2 libraries of predefined item categories but it's own internal database. Would require a fairly hefty rewrite from what I understand in order to use those categories but I'm hoping it's on the Horizon.

would depend on how their database was structured, but yes it would require a re-write of the way i keep track of categories.

Wonder if we could get a "Quick Edit" mode whereby you simply hold a modifier key down (alt+ctrl maybe) and click (right/left, not sure) on an item and it would bring up the menu to set categories. I find myself picking bits and pieces up and wanting to toss them directly into a category but having to go into the full edit mode just to move them.

probably not very soon, the items are actually using blizzards default xml so that i get secure functionality, so long as i don't play with the click handlers i'm ok, adding what you want would mean playing with that and probably tainting the code such that the client wont let it happen or would barf in combat.

actually, i could add a keybinding for edit mode, that way you could use shift F12 to toggle edit mode on/off? would that be ok?

Excellent mod:) Using the latest r22280 version it won't remember the keybinding. I have to remap it everytime I start WOW..weird I know lol.

ok, yeah thats really odd, mine remembers it across sessions as well as across computers. i sync everything up to a USB drive when i want to code/play on another computer.

this is now functional in the next beta, you can hide/unhide any category you want via the bar menu.

Since the latest update it doesn't work with Trinity bars and I can no longer use a seperate button with a macro to show the bags. :'(

you'll need to go into the (blizzard) keybindings menu and bind a key to open the bag.
