feature request - snap to window border when dragging

when moving bars or icons, it cannot snap to window border. i think it should snap automatically.

Can Bartender4 fade-out but with only one button shown?

That is, the bar only shows one button, and show the whole bar while the button is clicked or mouseoverred...

nuke and reinstall the addon and SV file.

i tried, but it didn't work...

No idea then, seems to run properly for me on my XP machine

BTW, did you ever dive into the bartender4 code? I think the origin (x=0, y=0) should be at the very center of the screen (1650 * 1080). Before 3.2.2 (in 3.2.0 and original versions), I wrote the bar position (x=some_value, y=some_value) into Interface/Addons/Bartender4/actionbars.lua according to WTF/account/SavedVariables/bartender4.lua, but the in-game position was not at what I wrote in the default settings.

Does he play on a Vista system with Wow installed in the default loaction in the system?

That is known to cause isssues with SV's since Vista does not allow the updation of the SV files from a "non-admin" source.

(i don't run vista myself so i dun know the proper names for stuff, hopefully you van make out what i mean anyway)

yes, I understand what you mean, that's UAC in vista and win7.

i've been using XP SP3 for 1 years. this problem did NOT exist before 3.2.2, and exists in both my home PC and work PC (both XP SP3) RIGHT AFTER 3.2.2 - so i don't think problem relies on the operating system... maybe wow.exe's update make wrong the way it resolves WTF folder?

Quote from OrionShock

that's an issue with you SV folder / file not being writeable so it's a permissions issue with the OS, you wouldn't be using Vista or 7?

no, i've been using XP SP3 for 1 years. this problem did not exist before 3.2.2, and exists now in both my home PC and work PC (both XP SP3).

hi all,

in some forums, many people encountered odd errors in UI. Please RE to gather what UI errors you met.

UI: Bartender4
Desc: bar position changes to default every time I login. /rl will alsa make bars to the default position, i.e., the posiiton modification would not be saved.

In some other UI forum, someone said that his WTF folder would be emptied when login, so he must re-configure his UI every time he logoned.

any UI/macro changes in 3.2.2 and 3.2.2a? I did not see this in the release note.

Quote from Kerecha

maybe corrupted savefile?

i don't think the problem is the corrupted savefile, for I encountered this problem in both home PC and work PC... What's more, every time I configured the bars to the right position, when I logout, the position changed to the default position on next login.

the following is my bartender4.lua in WTF folder, and some other settings was written into the Interface/Addons/Bartender4/xxx.lua, e.g., padding, scale, bar position, bar enable/disable...

Bartender4 (most up2date 4.4.1 with lib) worked fine for me in 3.2.0, I configured it as follows:
- all bars with padding 1
- all bars with scale 0.8
- enable 1-6 bars/stance/pet bar (paladin & D.K.), and disable all the others
- change bars' position to where i wanna them to be

But in 3.2.2, I found the configured bar position changed to the default position, NOT where I configured before, and all bars were enabled, while other settings remained.

What's happenning with this?

Quote from cremor

Just copy the SavedVariables file from one account to the others.

yes, this works. but I thinks we've been on other way than what I discussed...

What I intended to discuss is the code of bartender4, not its profile usage...

Quote from Torhal

I believe you're over-complicating things: in-game, type /bt4 to get the configuration menu. From the left side of that window, select "Profiles". In the right side of the window, you will see a selection box labeled "Copy From". From there, you can choose the profile of a character that you have already configured - those settings will be copied to the current character.

yes, this's be a solution. but as a programmer, i'd like to dive into the code details of this project...

and, profile may not be available when switching account...

Hi all,

I've got 4 wow accounts, and many chars in each account... So it drivers me crazy to configure action bars for each char. I think I can change the default settings of bartender4, so I made changes as follows:

bagbar.lua
19: enabled = true -> false

vehiclebar.lua
19: enabled = true -> false

stancebar.lua

        },
        visibility = {
            possess = false,
        },
    },

The modification is simple to understand. What I did was to review the settings of WTF/Account/account-name/realm-name/char-name/SavedVariables/bartender4.lua and wrote the settings to Interface/Addons/Bartender4/*.lua. I think this can change the default settings.

But the action bars appearred, when deleting WTF/Account/account-name/realm-name/char-name/SavedVariables/bartender4.lua and using the default settings, at different places than what I got when using WTF/Account/account-name/realm/char-name/SavedVariables/bartender4.lua

What's wrong?

The origin (x/y = 0) of bartender4 should be at the center of the screen. And I notice a variable "relPoint" in other's configuration. Could this variable help to solve the problem?
