ArkInventory   

I have a few questions concerning the response time of this addon. Every time I open my bags my screen "freezes" for about a second. Just for fun I deactivated every rule I had and assigned custom categories (quick and dirty, nowhere near as sophisticated as my ruleset) and the bag opened without that freeze.

My question is: Are rules slower than custom categories? Is it better to use custom categories when you assign specific items (instead of whole categories) to a bar?
Also I use mostly the name() function in my rules, because it is easier to maintain than id(). Is that bad for AI's performance?
And last question: Would it be possible to display every item you assigned to a custom category, even those already sold/deleted/not in your bags anymore for whatever reason?

Yep, same here, but not as often, happens maybe once every three or four days

I love the idea of being able to pick a location for inventory tooltips. I really hate the default behavior of the WoW interface, which makes my screen flicker and flash whenever I mouse over my bank.

First, thank you for your continual support of this addon. I've been using the custom rules feature extensively for the past couple of months now, and it is just excellent how this allows me to organize and categorize my inventory. It's become one of those features that I now can't live without. Anyway, thanks for the job well done.

I have a rather minor feature request, and it has to do with the placement of the tooltip. By default, your tooltip is anchored near the cursor. I'd like to request that there be options for the placement of the tooltip. First, I'd like to be able to anchor it at the default gametooltip location. Simply provide the option for moving the ArkInventory item tooltip down there to the bottom right corner. Second, another tooltip option would be to anchor your tooltip relative to the arkinventory window but outside the arkinventory frame. For example, allow for anchoring the tooltip's TOPRIGHT point to the ArkInventory Bag window's TOPLEFT point.

Primarily, i just want to be able to move the tooltip off of the bag frame that I'm looking at simply to remove the visual clutter. I might just be scanning the items and not necessarily interested in the tooltip at a given moment. But in general I do want to use the tooltip, given that it shows me item counts and who has what. So simply moving the tooltip away from the cursor and to some user-defined static location would be the ideal solution.

Thanks for reading.

hello
Concering framelevel bug, I tried to figure out what caused it for me, like the glyph window bug and apparently after i disabled Telo's lootlink i never experienced the framelevel bug again, hope this helps someone .

Can you let us use rules in the search bar to search more than just the text?

Hello!

I am a WOW Player from Hong Kong and playing with Traditional Chinese WOW.
I have found a bug which would break the inscription frame.

It is caused by the string WOW_SKILL_INSCRIPTION in zhTW.lua

-- wrong
["WOW_SKILL_INSCRIPTION"] = "銘文學",

-- fixed
["WOW_SKILL_INSCRIPTION"] = "雕紋",


: problem before zhTW.lua modified




================

Thank you for your useful ui.

Okay, 2-3 times a day now get locked out from my bags. I can't move anything or link anything. it just "blacks" everything out. this has been going on since release. I thought it might get fixed if I deleted the old files and just redid everything from scratch. So I did... it worked for all of 3 days. Now it's back to locking me out again.

I have to log out completely, click off the addon, login, open my bags/bank and log out again, then click the addon back on. This is really bothersome especially if I'm in the middle of raid or group trying to give people things they need that I have, like Shards from DE, and etc.

please help. I don't know if anyone else has this issue...

I've notived that whenever I drag the ArkInventory windows around on my screen, it more often than not results in a temporary hang that lasts about 5 to 10 seconds.

Could this be caused by the "frame level" bug mentioned in the FAQ? I'm going to try and disable the bug workaround option in ArkInv and see if it makes any difference. I love this mod and am to the point that I can't live without it. But I'm almost to the point of locking my bank and bag windows down so I'll be unable to drag them around and thereby trigger this temporary screen hang.

I have a couple of other seemingly frame-related bugs in my addons. I'm throwing a dart at a wall by posting this here in ArkInv but I'm thinking it may have something to do with this frame-level bug as well. I use Prat 3.x and sometimes when I right-click on my general chat tab in order to bring up the menu to turn on or off the various global channels, sometimes this global channel list is covered with a black frame that can't be clicked through. It's very black and I can barely see the global channel checkboxes. Reloading the UI makes this bug go away temporarily. It sounds just like the frame level bug, but do you think it could in any way be caused by ArkInv? I don't think so, but I just wanted to get some expert opinion.

Finally, sometimes when I go to my Glyphs page (the new tab in the default WoW spellbook) to see what glyphs I currently have installed, all I see are empty gold circles where my intsalled glyphs should be. I don't see the glyphs themselves. Again, frame level bug?

I use a lot of addons so it's going to be very time consuming to isolate the root cause of these glitches. So the reason I'm posting these questions here is that you seem to have a lot of knowlege about the overal UI and how frames are drawn. These other addon bugs seem to be similar or identical to what ArkInv exhibits, and I'm just looking for some info to assist in fixing these other problems if at all possible.

Thanks.

Once again, I love ArkInventory. Once I learned how to fully utilize the custom categories feature, there is no going back to any other bag addon.

I was just coming here to post a similar suggestion -- maybe an age() rule in minutes or something

Is it possible to have this place new items into thier own category?

If so can someone tell me what I need to do to have this happen.

I figure if so it would need to be a rule, but I have no idea about what it would need to be. I looked at some of the examples, but they don't really address an item being something recently picked up, from what I could see. And I don't know enough about lau to know how to go about making one myself.

Thank you.
