Ok. If it gets irritating I will disable it. Since things only hang when I try to go in to modify these settings, it's not an overal/global problem. Good luck and happy coding!

-Bar

The only option I can't get into is the screen called "Enabled Pets" in the Game Menu > Interface > Addons > Petleash section. I'd rather not lose what I did configure; at least one toon is working properly. What does confuse me is that that toon's configuration should be part of the 'default' profile, but other toons set to the default profile aren't seeing the same behavior. I don't know if this is reasonable - if I have to go in and set each toon to 'default' specifically before it works - or if I've done something else wrong.

if you mean, where I went in and marked each pet to be used sometimes/always/never (it was more choices, but that's the basic concept) - yes, I did that. IIRC I had about 2 weeks where it was laggy, but I *could* go in and adjust things, and then it started lagging out again. I had set it so that the pets I'd named - one of each one i had - were set to come out mostly sometimes, but some more often, and the ones I hadn't named were set to never.

Since 5.2, the toon I was logged in to when I made those settings still has the named ones coming out. Other toons, however, have un-named ones. I went in to check the profiles, and all the ones I checked were set to 'default', including the one that's working fine. Unfortunately, I can't go check the settings on the pets themselves - that's what lags me out.

Thank you for looking into things. I've been considering looking at the code files to see if I could figure out how to edit the files to force what I want to happen, but I'm hesitant to do so, if only due to generic fumble-fingeredness.

Just a note that I am still having the problem where, when I try to go to the 'enable pets' interface, my wow hangs and eventually disconnects from the server.

I really want to use this addon, as it does pretty much exactly what I want it to without being bundled with anything else. (like a few that are both pets and mounts, or pets mounts and titles, or pets and albatrosses I mean achievements, or ....)

I'd be happy to be selling off my excess pets, but I don't have storage room to do more than a few at a time, and I currently have a set of 5 going through the AH till they sell...

for the update to 5.2 !!

Hi,

It occurs only the first time I open it with a toon during a game session.

I figured that the sheer quantity may be part of the problem. But I also know of people who have even more pets, and any collector who was getting things on multiple toons before the account-wide stuff went into affect is going to have the same problems. If it was *just* me I'd grin and bear it, but i figure that I'm helping, somehow, here....

Does it make more sense for me to report it, or you, as developer/user? I've already got an account over on their forums as I was poking them about various things, and the slidebar is one of the thing I wanted to poke them about as the config screen stopped being functional, but it was low on the totem pole of 'things not working' so I hadn't yet.

Thank you, very much, for your quick feedback and resolution! I *really* like this addon - among other things, it made another one (Critter Emote, unfortunately only on Curse, makes the deployed pet emote things) functional again! Before I was getting errors that it couldn't find the pet, and now it can.

tl;dr - I have 530+ pets, and one of each type has been renamed. To what extent are the lag problems I'm seeing due to either/both of these factors?

Verbose version:

This update made it possible to use the addon again! I'm not sure if it was that I'd gone over some magic amount of pets, but where before it would freeze wow for a while but come back, it had gotten to the point where if I tried to even access the Enable Pets screen of the config, I would get completely logged out of WoW, down to the splash 'input your password here' screen.

I downloaded the addon and pulled up the button on the Norganna Slidebar. That had an indexed list of my pets, and again, when I moved the mouse down into that list window, the slidebar went back into the side of my window and moved the list with it, making it impossible to use. That hasn't changed, and I'm not sure who to comment to about that, you or the Norganna folks.

I went into the Game Menu / Interface / Addons config window, and clicked open Pet Leash, and then Enable Pets and.... waited. But it did come up without logging me out (tho I got disconnected and reconnected messages in chat). I'm glad to see that everything that I hadn't touched before was now set to Never! Both that it was set to never, and that the ones I *had* changed were not changed from my settings.

Clicking on the down-arrow to access the settings came up right away, but changing the setting took 5-6 seconds of freeze (as detected by motion visible in the translucent screen and music suddenly going silent). Again, it didn't disconnect me in any way, so this *is* an improvement.

Due to having 10 toons before (and making an 11th when MoP came out), I have up to 10 duplicates of the easily available pets (not to mention the unusable horde versions of e.g. the balloon and the moonkin hatchling). ! started MoP with 490+ and am now up to 532 (having removed one last night to put on the AH). Is 532/533 somehow some magic timing/breakpoint, where last night (before the update) I was getting logged out completely when I tried to access, whereas today (at 532) I'm not? It's something to think about - I know enough about coding and compsci theory to know it can make a difference, and not enough to figure it out. Also, I have one (and sometimes two) of each pet renamed so I can distinguish the ones I am using in a team, and also to have an easy way to choose which to have petleash use for deployment. Could having so many renamed be causing any issues for your code?

Thank you for the update!
