Finally got around to give the new AutoBar a try. I like it very very much.

A few things I saw:

a) Strata is not very high. When I have my bags open, the popup buttons vanish behind my open bags (using Baggins). That is after setting the Frame Level to "High".
b) I have plenty of usable quest-items in my inventory, but Autobar only shows one of them. I have a Skeleton Key Mold, which gets shown. Reason seems to be that only this one is in the PT3 group Consumable.Quest.Usable. The other ones (Challenge from the Horde, Empty Birdcage and Lit Torch) are not. Should I report this in the PT3 thread, or is this intentional in some way?
c) It is hard to click on the popups for the tradeskills. The popup buttons vanish when I try to move the mouse from the main button to its popups. Sometimes I can manage to catch them, but it is still kinda weird.

Edit: c) may have to do with cyCircled, I got the following when trying to catch the popup:

[2007/10/17 17:15:12-518-x1]: cyCircled-0.5\plugins\AutoBar.lua:46: attempt to index field 'delayLayoutUpdate' (a nil value)

cyCircled module for AutoBar seems to be broken, too.

Message: ..\AddOns\cyCircled\plugins\AutoBar.lua line 46:
attempt to index field 'delayLayoutUpdate' (a nil value)

i do not think its been working

Answer to myself: after doing /rl, a) and c) went away. All is good now. :)

just got this error at random

I see a buff:weapon and a Buff:weapon Main hand category. Is there a Buff:weapon Offhand category, cause i don't see a option for it.

Also latest version doesn't seem to like custom categories. example: made one just for buff scrolls and once i enabled it could no longer pull up the config screen.

cyCircled users need to dl the latest version of cyCircled.

...another thing, "rearrange order" semm to not function properly...

I assume water for arenas is a custom category you made. Do you have arrange on use selected on your category?

This does bring up a good point though. I should rename the one on the button to say Arrange Categories on use. Or just replace the whole current scheme with a 1-5 item priority list that gets saved & restored when you log. That way it would only need a checkbox on the button & not care about what state the category is in.

"Buff: Weapon" is the only category. After that there are two Buttons for main hand & off hand that use the "Buff: Weapon" category. These will obviously only show up for Warriors, Rogues & Shamans.

Yes, there is a flaw in the anchoring I need to track down still. As noted in the bold red with the release notes its a good idea to reload ui if you get the error.

2/ ...i see all buttons, but some are empty.... empty or unusabled buttons always show type of item in it (category i think), but greyed.
3/ I saw that a "conjure" button exists, but if i use it, there is just "summon fire stone", no healthstone, no spellstone, no Rez stone.
Is there something special to add them to this button ?

2) All the display options are not in yet
3) For warlocks it should have healthstone & firestone. How does soulstone work? Does it creat a stone that you then target on someone? If so I can add soulstones as well.

Soulstone conjures an item into your bag, which you click on with someone targeted to cast it on them.

-I'm having a different problem with the conjure catagory. I keep trying to unenable it, but every time I log in I find it enabled again. (2.02.03.11 beta 52346)

Love the new look!!!!

Great I will add soulstones.
I do not see this with conjure button on my mage. There is no reason for mage & warlock to have different behaviour here. Could you do a profile reset, then reload (/rl) or relog, then try it again pls? Or if you use cyCircled please dl the new cyCircled.

Hey Toadkiller,

first, thanks for creating and improving one of WoW's most useful AddOns. :-)

Concerning bugs: The "Docked to ..." function seems to be out of order. I usually had my AutoBar cover most of the "Main Menu", only showing my character's portrait. Moving and resizing the AutoBar does not have the same effect for me, since it doesn't fit as nicely and, which appears to be the major problem, the "Main Menu" frame seems to be above the AutoBar frame. I hope I'm not just repeating known issues, but the "sticky frames" issue in your first post didn't seem to match this one by 100%.


Greetings,
SunrEyes

Found the off hand button, but only after changing the profile from "default" to "rogue" and "warrior". Also hunters should get this button as well but never got it to show up at all.

http://code.google.com/p/autobar/wiki/FAQ How do I report a missing item?

OK, the following items should (I guess) be in the category Consumable.Quest.Usable:

Challenge from the Horde 31702
Empty Birdcage 23485
Lit Torch 23480

Better this way? Or should I post it in the PT3 thread?

I'm actually a mage also. This seems to have fixed it though, thanks.

Hi, thx for answers :)
I found the real name of the "water for arenas" : Star's Tears : http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32453

Star's Tears are always the water showed by the button, even if i use another water. I think the priority of this water will be very high but only in arenas (and always with a lower priority than mage's water)

After seeing your explanation, i guess i misunderstood the "rearrange on use" option. I thought it modify the priority of the used item (as with the mounts button), not just the category of the item.

I'm sure i already saw the healthstone button, but last night (new config from scrath to AB) this button was not there. Only "Create a fire stone".
All "conjure" stone works the same as mage'mana jade or emerald, on his invocation.
Only the use of the stone created is different :
Healthstone : as heal potion, on another timer (so, put healthstone & health potion on the same button is really BAD :D)
SoulStone : if a friend is targetted, cast a rez buff on him. Otherwise, cast on the warlock the rez buff
SpellStone : On use, place on the ranged slot. On use on ranged slot, cancel all magical debuff on the wearer.
Firestone : same as SpellStone : on use, adds some fire dmg.

Hope this helps a little ;)
