MiniPet supports ButtonFacade, use /bf to configure the skin and color
settings for the button if you have it installed.
MiniPet supports LibKeyBound, use /kb to enter key binding mode.
MiniPet's button will stick to other frames that support LibStickyFrames.

MiniPet outputs the current item it will use using LibDataBroker-1.1. Note that clicking on the item in a Broker addon will not activate the item. You must have MiniPet bound to a key to use it in a Broker addon and hide its own button.

KNOWN ISSUES:
* Alerts do not work when entering non-instanced portals, such as the
portal in the Stormwind mage tower.
* Changes to the randomizer means that it will sometimes pick the same companion many times in a row. This is intentional.

darkyce A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	Perhaps it would be a good idea to add the option to remove the pet upon entering Prowl/Stealth? Took me a few times to figure out how those damned hunters ALWAYS knew where to cast their flares... I solved it by having /run DismissCompanion("CRITTER") in a macro with Prowl, but it might be useful to others to have it in the addon instead Thanks for a great addon

I went into the options and set it to not make the box disappear and I still could not see it. Had to reload the UI to get it to show.

Tooltip says "Right click to summon and dismiss your XXXX". Right Click does nothing but change the icon (not actual summon) to the next random pet.

Could you add a way to just dismiss a pet?

Needs some work but Great Addon ... thanks and looking forward to more updates

The missing library is a confuser. It's in the zip and that's the only version of that library I have on my box atm and it works.

Those problems are a result of keeping the addon working as it has traditionally done. Right click is "hide" the button

However when I changed how the "Show" option worked I neglected to have a way to get it back lol obviously when disabling autohide and the button is hidden by autohiding it should come back.

The tooltip says what WoW provides. They have yet to remove that erroneous text

(If you put a companion spell in the action bar it will give the same tooltip, even though you can left click to summon...)

Dismiss has been suggested but isn't as easy to code as it sounds. I'm looking at it but it is a bit of a job to do, as it looks like I need to keep track of pets being summoned.

Hmm thank you for that. It shouldn't be trying to set the attributes in combat, I'll have to see why it is.
