Just to add to the previously stated "problem" regarding a memory leak. I too am having this issue wherein my memory usage from AB will sit stable at around 3-5 Mb and suddenly shoot up to around 15-20 until the next garbage dump, unless I force one. What I did notice though is that the majority of the time that this happens is right after using my hearthstone and the icon for it will have the greyed out watch look for the cooldown and blink at me. I do a memory dump and it seems to be fine for a few minutes then does it again. Let the HS cooldown and the problem seems to cease, at least to the point where I dont see a huge memory jump. And just as an fyi I did disable all addons except for AB and even did a clean reinstall of it and deleted the wtf files associated with it. Hope this helps figure this problem out. Jaehend

I absolutely love autobar and hate to play without it, however I've also been getting the massive memory use issue reported by some others (http://forums.wowace.com/showpost.php?p=268264&postcount=2446) (http://code.google.com/p/autobar/issues/detail?id=624&q=memory&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Summary). In Dalaran, it causes constant lag spikes and large spikes during each garbage collection.

I spent a good chunk of time tracking this down last night, here's what I have:

* Memory is rapidly consumed until it is garbage collected. This effect is much more pronounced in Dalaran than anywhere else including other cities like Ironforge. Being outside of a city, the effect is much less pronounced. The observations I make below are from sitting in Dalaran. Also, the memory usage is attributed to Autobar whether I have libs embedded or standalone. I also cleared all addons beforehand so all installations were new.

1) Having only Autobar and a memory tracking mod (Broker_CPU/Broker2Fubar/Fubar), I found Autobar sitting at a minimum of 4-5MB. The memory usage attributed to Autobar will climb to 10-11 MB within one minute and then drop back down to 4-5 again after the GC (I'll call the increase and drop over time a cycle). Using Fubar_PerformanceFu/Fubar instead reports the same thing.

2) Adding QuestHelper (so it's only QH/Autobar/mem tracking mod) really increases the amount of memory gained and lost in the cycle. Basically all memory usage in the cycle is still attributed to Autobar whether running with embbeded or seperate libs. Instead of jumping from 4-5MB up to 10-11MB it jumps to 25-30MBs. This seems to match some of the other reports I've seen in this thread.

3) When running Quest Helper alone, I see no memory issues at all, not even the smaller 5-6MB increase and drop every minute as described in (1) above. Basically, I see no cycle at all.

If anyone has any ideas how to further track this down please let me know.

Same here, just sitting in IF im getting an increase rate of ~1MB/10sec starting slightly slower and picking up some more speed towards the end of the GC cycle.

v3.00.08.22 beta compensates for the constant spam of COMPANION_UPDATE events by ignoring them ... mostly. Memory should be more stable now.

Hello, I ran in to a strange issue today. I just picked up the trinket Energy Siphon from Ulduar, and when I equip it, my Trinket 2 slot for Autobar won't display it. It will display the icon for my Mecurial Alchemist stone instead (and when I click, it equips that). I put that in my bank, and it now shows another trinket in my inv. I put all my other trinkets in my bank, and it then shows the trinket in Trinket 1 in both slots. I'm unfortunately a bit of an autobar noob with the latest iteration, but I know enough to get things in to the basic setup I like... but not enough to be able to troubleshoot this. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.

Speaking of trinkets, I've been having an issue for quite a while now..

only equipped trinkets show their name/tooltip, all other trinkets usually show "/equip trinketname slot1" (or similar) as a tooltip..

Not a huge problem, except that I can't always tell which trinket is what simply by the icon.

That works great! Thanks so much!

The recent ButtonFacade changes seem to have broken AutoBar's BF support and also BF's LDB feed:

I tagged a new beta that should pick up trinkets and the BF changes & fixes.

There is a Blizzard issue with equipping trinket slot 2, where they ignore the slot you want to equip into and only equip into slot 1. To get around that you are actually clicking on macros to do the equip instead of the actual items.

I'm sorry to bother you, but if been having problems with autobar for a long time now. When I log on i get an error message (also with all other addons turned off) saying: ..\Addons\AutoBar\AutoBarClassBar.lua line 221: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

I can get in the config but the bars do not show in the screen. Before recently they would appear (partially) after stepping in an instance or teleporting, but since the last update the bars never show. (and yes, enabled is turned on)

I've tried things like deleting the Cacht and WTF folder but it doesn't seem to help. I'm not that great with technical background thingies in WoW. Maybe i've overlooked it somewhere in this thread, but it's 248 pages long now, so forgive me for posting this. I hope you have an answer for me, because it's the best addon ever, and i really would like it to work.

Having the old problem of buttons not collapsing after moving the cursor away. using the latest version with no skin mods.

here as well, however, if you hover the button and move the mouse away again, it usually collapses.

It appears to happen randomly.. at least I have yet to detect any sort of pattern..

I am joining a new startup. Playing WoW, never mind maintaining addons will be limited for some time to come. If you would like to maintain / improve etc. AutoBar, please send me a pm so you can get author access for tagging and so forth.

I tried today to add a category for Favorite Pets so I could easily summon my new Scorchling, Azure Whelpling, etc. I created the category, but I can't drag the pet icons to the item list. What am I doing wrong?

From the usage side :

# Click on your category and name it
# Open the tree to the items inside it & click New for however many items you need.
# Click on each item. This reveals a dragLink icon (empty one looks like a gift box) and a delete button for it.

tjy .. only problem is : when im in the tree on the items - i can just add new items - but the promised "delete" key is missing (using latest beta from wowace)-. so how the fuck i am supposed to DELETE any of the items i added to one of my custom categories ?

another fully idiotic behavoir is that klicking the "reset" button resets ALL categories - not just the one that is opened - not the items inside the category - no - ALL .. .. thats really pro


atm i have to say this addon drives me crazy - its the most anti-intuitive iv met so far - its good, but usage is sub-par

and , why not just remove all the (mho totally overbloated) predefined shit and just let users drag the stuff they need on their buttons and fini.


ps. is it somehow maybe possible to DELETE ALL PREDEFINDED categories ? so im rid of that infitite drop down list that makes it take ages to find the custom ones ..

pps. really .. offer Kindom for autobar lite, that comes without ANY of this predefinded crap. Just a bar with buttons with configurable behaviour as it is now + simple ability to drag multiple items/spells etc on the buttons per a straightforward configuration

ctrl-click to delete or something.

As for the state of it, I have not worked on it since the expansion. I am in a startup so am unlikely to work on it for quite some time. As stated below, anyone that wants to take over development or just fix bugs is welcome to. Pm me for author access so you can push versions.

Yea. Thanks the fish!
Autobar is one of my most favourite Addons over the last years of WoW. :)

Have Fun on whatever you do now :P

Giid luck to ou and thanks for a great addon.

To the community:
I've been having issues since 3.2. AutoBar is installed and I can still access the config screen but my bars have disappeared. Not sure why but haven't heard anyone else complaining about this issue.

Anyone else experience this? And if so, how did you fix it?
