This data broker plugin:

- suppresses chat spam caused by a spec switch.
- sets aliases (leave blank to remove).
- associates an Equipment Manager Set to the current spec.
- mirrors changes made with Blizzard's Equipment Manager.
- toggles the talent frame when right-clicked.
- provides an easy to use interface.

and other minor customizations and utilities...

Supports the following addons:
- AddonLoader (reduces load screen time).
- TipTac (SpecSwitcher mimic its appearence).

r10
- Fixed gear switch (was delayed or prevented).
- Fixed default huge size for high res (was not using UIParent as parent).

- Added: Shift+Click a gear set or a spec with an associated gear set to equip it.
- Added: MouseWheel on tooltip to change scale.
- Reacts on Blizzard's equipment manager "Delete" and "Change Name/Icon" actions (mirrors).
- Attempt to mimic TipTac look if you have TipTac.

r8
- Took advantage of the gear manager interface to provide a user friendly way to (dis)associate gear.
- Added a dialog box to edit aliases.
- Within that dialog box you have the option to use the associated gear's icon & name instead.
- Shift+Click (gear manager) and Control+Click (alias editor) can now edit your off-spec using Shift+RightClick and Control+RightClick.

- Attempted to fix rare issues: gear set not equipping and/or chat spam not blocked

I am experiencing the problem that, every time I switch specs, my screen freezes, turns white, hangs up for 20 seconds or so, and then unfreezes, allowing normal play. Do you have any notion of what might be causing this? How I can fix it? I do use quite a few addons, but I can't think what might be interfering in this manner.

I totally didn't notice the brackets around the word "Right".

Cool, and thanks!

BTW: Sorry if this has been asked before, but any possibility of having SpecSwitcher tie in with Outfitter?

saltorio A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 8 File comments: 151 Uploads: 0	Hey Aranarth, I love your addons! I have noticed one oddity with SpecSwitcher though. When I go to set an alias for one of my specs, it's always the spec that I'm not currently using (so if I'm in Spec 1, the alias will be for spec 2). This can be verified both by the text within the alias editor itself, as well as by setting the alias and then looking at it in SpecSwitcher's tooltip. This would only be a minor inconvenience, except it essentially prevents low level toons from naming their spec, which leaves the numerical representation of the spec (which doesn't look as good). Just thought I'd let you know. Please keep up the great work.

I understand Aranarth

I already have your addon's spots saved in my UI for 4.0.1/Cata, so its all good

Thanks for making such great addons.

I may attempt a quick fix if that's the case, but that will affect others (slightly delaying the gear switch). If not, I plan to add a stronger solution to avoid glitches, but that will take longer.

With the patch dropping next week, any chance of getting an ETA on those?

I am building a whole new UI from scratch for 4.0.1+ and I have always included your addons.
