Does it show your localized Launcher news? Can anyone not living in Germany confirm this please?

Sorry, should have clarified. That's what I meant when I said the news works properly. It shows the US news without any issue I've seen so far.

I just installed the new version. All the options work fine but the loacalization in German ( I think). Everything else is great though, realm status shows on all 3 realms, Ventrilo launches right no problems with functionality just the localization on the home screen.

I noticed the same issue a few times and got the English (US) launcher content instead of the German one. I try to find a solution for this to fix it in an upcoming version. Meanwhile you could try to open Internet Explorer, navigate to worldofwarcraft.com and select your region and language in the lower right again. Don't forget to try the "HOME"-Button or close WoWL+ and launch it again.

Now it just needs an "AddOn Profile" feature, which will automatically adjust Interface and WTF folders based on your profile selection

Bl4ckSh33p · 03-03-12, 12:41 AM

You mean like Addon sets in Addon Control Panel? You can create profiles to enable different addons with each one.

Nah, actual different physical sets of addons & settings. The easiest way to do it these days is to use batch files or symlinks to create/copy/etc different Interface and WTF folders.

Bl4ckSh33p · 03-03-12, 01:16 AM

So you mean to delete/rename/move the current Interface and WTF folder and put in a new set of addons (for a new UI) and config files? So you can quickly switch between different UIs and don't have to remove/rename the old addons manually?

Yep

It probably won't be a hugely utilized feature (though I'd definitely use it), but hey, one more feature can't hurt :P

I will consider it for a future update. But no promises, yet.

Wimpface · 03-04-12, 08:30 PM

I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks amazing.

An idea would be to have it read through your AddOns folder to see what addons are installed (just reading foldernames should be enough) and then read from WoWInterface and possibly Curse to see if one has been updated with a link to the addon's wowinterface/curse page.

This is different from addon clients in that it doesn't offer a straight download via your program, but instead links to the webpage itself and therefore does not leech bandwidth.

You wouldn't have to have a full list of addons displayed anywhere in the client, or do any checks apart from folder names. Version checks shouldn't be needed as you know if you've updated or not. Just having a box that says "these have been updated in the last 5 days!" should be enough.

Just an idea, it'd be very cool.

Bl4ckSh33p · 03-09-12, 04:21 PM

Nice idea! I will consider it for a future update but I have to see if and how I can implement it.
