autobar replacement

[Seerah]

If that truly is the case, then it looks like there's something wrong in the AutoBar code, then. Because it never got that high for me when I used to use it. I don't think it gets that high for my hubby ever, either, and he still uses it.

Actually right after first update in 3.1 embedded was running 8 MiB and climbed to 15 while sitting idle. I disabled it then figuring I will wait for release version.
I can confirm however 4 MiB is normal. I have about 4 custom buttons but other then that my autobar is pretty vanilla. I don't know what is making it work so hard :P

Opie is what I use now. It's not quite as auto as auto-bar but it doesn't use near the resources.

Yeah, I used Autobar a long time ago, and I decided to try it again recently. It was using up too many resources so I had to uninstall it. :/

As a Druid (was my main), I couldn't imagine only having 120 buttons and not having autobar. I tried replacing once, I was left feeling empty inside afterward. It just worked... like a mule on a farm in the 1800's.

That said, even using all the features given, plus a few custom items, I can't remember ever going above 2-3Mb, and yes, I paid attention. I haven't played since Ulduuar came out, though, so was there a change that jumped it then, or has this been an ongoing issue?

As far as for me, Auto Bar can jump up to 36 megs. After a garbage collection it drops back down to 3-4 megs. Sit around idle, go afk, check it again, 24 megs. Garbage collection, back to 3 megs.

I too only have a few custom buttons, but eve so, it shouldn't be using this much memory. I'm posting on the Auto Bar comments too, but thought I'd post here as well.

If AutoBar is the Ace addon with the most current libraries, all the other Ace addons that load after (since it starts with 'A', it means most of them) AutoBar will get the "blame" for all the other addons using the libraries that AutoBar loaded.

If I were Toad, I would probably rename the addon ZautoBar Let some other Ace addon get the blame for a while

With no addons except Autobar. Never jumped any higher.
