tekKompare 

Well, it was a conflict with a class specific addon. I disabled all my rogue and warlock addons and went in and all was fine. (Ace stuff)

So, thanks for the reply, but of course...this is not your addons problem...(Forgive me, I hadn't had any coffee before I posted.)

LOL.

Your funny. I am also not beyond the idea that this is a operator problem, hehehe...ie lack of sleep. I will try delete and fresh install.

TY for quick and funny response.

Hmm, its not working today for some reason. Last night was working great but no compare is showing at all. I really liked how it showed compares on mouseover, even in chat. :/

I see, thanks for the explanation.

This is not related to tekKompare only, since I had the same issue with EQCompare.

I activated the press button feature in the Lua file, so now I have to press Control to compare, and it works like a charm. But why do I have to keep the key pressed when comparing stuff in my inventory while pressing it once is enough everywhere else? Is there any way to change this behaviour so that pressing Control once works just fine in the inventory too?

Uhm the download for 2.0.3.294 downloads tekKompare-2.0.3.286.zip

Hah, I promise I checked page 2! ... *goes away now*

Ok. Using doggabone's (second) modification the modifier works as I expected for inventory items.

However it works only if you press the key before mousingover on bar items/hoverlinks. And it doesn't work on clicked link (the permament tooltips that appear after you click a chat link).

But it's an unsupported change so w/e :P


P.S. I added a request on the googlecode, but it dissapeared. Guess it got deleted *cry*.

By the way Scae (and any others who've used my tweak), my tweak is obsolete. tekkub has included two lines with the most up-to-date version. One is commented out, the other is not - both refer to "local validator". Uncomment the one you want to use, and comment out the other.

Original (pops up with no key press):
--~ local validator = IsShiftKeyDown
local validator = function() return true end

Alternate:
local validator = IsShiftKeyDown
--~ local validator = function() return true end

IsShiftKeyDown can be replaced with the other modifier functions if you prefer, and you don't need the parentheses for that line. No parentheses!

For what it's worth, I don't remember if my tweak required me to move in and out of the icon but I think that's what happened for me too. But I notice right now, checking the version I just downloaded from WoWInterface, that I can hit the Shift key while moused over a weapon in my inventory - both the default and the Baggins interface - and the tekKompare tooltips appear even if I am and remain moused over the icon. I can't attest for the auction interface or for any other window. I've switched to commenting out the appropriate line in tekkub's code, not just because it works but also because it's easier to keep in sync with stuff I haven't gimmicked up too much.

I posted on the wowace forums regarding the tooltip not showing up in certain situations and you asked for more details.

From my testing it appears to be entirely related to the control key modification posted by doggabone. After adding the change to include a modifier, tooltips will only appear if you hold the ctrl key then mouseover. If your mouse is already hovering over the item then you press the ctrl key no tooltip appears. Naturally this has no effect on clicked 'chat links' as you there's no mouseover occuring, it's just a static tooltip.

Personally, I would prefer tooltips to appear when the modifier key is pressed regardless of when the tooltip was generated. But considered the added modfier key is out of scope of the addon I don't expect any support for it . Consider this post informational only (and to close any potential issues you may have thought your addon may have had).

P.S. Also this mod doesn't work with atlas loot, but I think atlasloot needs to code in support on a per addon basis. So it's up to them to add support.
