Incorrect Addon Detections

I realize the heuristics are having some problems with addons that aren't on WoWI, and in rare cases ones that are on WoWI as well. Here's what I need from anyone experiencing an issue:

Name of addon that is installed
Name of addon that is detected
WoWInterface ID of the addons, or "N/A" if not available or not detected

plus I remember reading another post where "addon control panel" connects to AfterLife Crowd Control http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info9092.html

AllStats connects to Battle Stats 2 http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info10789.html

Bang! FeignDeath is connecting to Bang! PvP http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info12949.html
yet Bang! PvP connects to nothing and says waiting for Bang! Feign Death

Baggins goes to Baggins Scrap

Battleground Defender goes to Battleground General

Cartographer 3 is connecting to Cartographer 2.5

Dr Damage -Ace2- connected straight to Ace2 - seems like moany of the addons with Ace2 in it is connecting straight to Ace2
after updating Ace2, Ace 3 now tries to update by connecting to Am Dead http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info8840.html

PocketStable connects to Stable

Recount connects to Broker: Recount

AtlasLootFu goes right to AtlasLoot Enhanced

All the DeadlyBossMod plugins want to update to DeadlyBossMod:Burning Crusade

Enhanced Flight Map goes to EnhancedToolTip

This is after a long day and first shot at the client, overall I think it looks good, updates quickly and the ads aren't obtrusive, not bad . . . just can't use Update All yet, but it's still beta



*edit*
Upon loading my client and looking at my addon list, everything seems ok except it's telling me Ace2 is incompatable

Whats interesting is every one of the addons that is incorrectly linked are ones that do not exist here on WoWI. At least that's what i looks like anyway.

It's like instead of linking an addon by exact name only it goes for any addon with a similar name if it can not find it here on WoWI instead of just saying it can not find it.

Not everyone of them, My Mini-Targ is hosted here on WoWI and it's not linking right, but I do think you have the right idea, it's like if the name is not exact, it will find a close match . . . perhapse in that situation, a flag should show up, "not an exact match' then you know to do more info and check it

Sorry if this is not the right place for this but..

EPGP (DKP Reloaded) connects to the WoWI version of the correct mod, but it is only updated on Curse.

Already posted some of these on the tracker, but I'll post all of mine here for completeness' sake.

BindPad links to BindPad PTR instead of BindPad - GUI to set keybindings for spell/item/macro
Broker: Currency links to Broker CT instead of being unavailable
FuBar - BankItemsFu, FuBar - CalendarFu and FuBar - MailFu all link to FuBar 3.6 instead of being unavailable
FuBar - VolumeFu links to FuBar - FarmerFu instead of being unavailable
Mail Expiry links to Express Mail instead of being unavailable
Reagent Restocker links to Reagent Broker instead of being unavailable
Send Self links to Annoying Self Rebuff Reminder instead of being unavailable
Tradeskill HD links to Tradeskill Advice instead of being unavailable
Eeshards -Ace2- links to Ace2 instead of being unavailable

AtlasLootFu is included in the ZIP file for AtlasLoot Enhanced.

I'll add this one here because I'm not sure yet what the other ones are linking to. I'll trying to figure out why the other ones are today.

Pitbull 4 gives you Ace2 AND Stuff Unitframes.

Installed AddOn: Pitbull 4.0 - N/A on WoWI, downloaded from WoWAce/Curse
Detected AddOn: Kollektiv Unit Frames - ID 11171 (?) (Also linked for your convenience) Properly displayed Pitbull 4.0 but installed kUnits when updated.

I only use two AddOns that aren't on WoWI, and I manually updated the second. It seems (from what's already been posted), that Pitbull 4.0 is pulling multiple different AddOns from WoWI.

I was having problems so I deleted all my addons and search through Minion for them again. Figured this would help with the multiple source problem people were having. So far I found out this:

Fubar Plugins not found with minion but are on WoWI:
Friendsfu
Guildfu
garbageFu
ToFu

Fubar Plugins not on WoWI:
SwitcherFu
XperlFu


Closed and Reran Minion and the following Addons were not present in the MInion list but are availible on WowI:
Atlas
Auctioneer Suite
Cartographer (core)
durabilityFu
FriendsFu
GuildFu
MoneyFu
QuestsFu
Gatherer (core)

Well, I guess I will repost here ... since my thread (which was made before this one) was closed ... :/

EQCompare linking to this:http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11245.html

That is first one I noticed last night. There were three others but I have to wait till I get home because I dont remember what in the world they were linking to.

I am having the problems exactly as stated in the original post. Multiple addons finding things that arent on WoWI, finding the wrong thing when the right thing IS on WoWI, not finding anything at all when it is on WoWI and at times not even recognizing that I have certain plugins installed.

Also, when installing new addons it adds them to the list until I close Minion and restart it.

The last issue I have, when using my login info it seems to pull from my favorites list instead of what I have installed. This is a problem because even after I went back to anonymous, it still used my favorites list or some variation of it. I had to remove the plugin and every file it installed to revert back to seeing my installed addons.

Edit: Forgot about one other issue. It is breaking up certain mods as separate updates when it is really one suite. The first I can think of off the top of my head was Auctioneer. It wanted to download the suite for the core update (which the Suite includes everything). It also wanted to download the entire suite again for Enchantrix and then again for Swatter.

Chatter should be blocked, it's pretty outdated on wowi and overwrites the newer one from curse

On a related note I think it would be nice if there were a "sanity check" column in the UI that would have the title of the remote mod that the local mod is heuristically matched with.

That way we could see at a glance if there's a problem without having to drill down into More Info for each addon.

Can I make a suggestion? and no, I'm not going to use that bug tracker thing... but I would like to see the ability to over ride Minion's detection of whiich file is which.

I have looked over the list and have probably 10 to 15 mismatches that I can't correct cause I can't find anyway to proform an override.

Note: Continuously updating this post as I find more. On Edit 3.
Okay, I've some myself:

Addon Control Panel(ACP)-> Afterlife Crowd Control
Edit1: ButtonFacade_Darion -> ButtonFacade_Pas
Edit2: Pitbull 4.0 -> Satrina Unit Frames 3
Edit2: Recount -> Broker_Recount
Edit2: ShadedMedia -> Healbot Continued
Edit2: ShockAndAwe(formerly Disqodice) -> Inquest
Edit2: Wowhead Looter -> GathererDB WoWHead
Edit2: Yet Another Totem addon(YATA) -> Addon Loader

Edit2: Also, anything with the word "Fu" in it goes to Fubar.



Also there are lots of others that I'm trying to figure out where the mistake is, but it's more difficult than that. Those are:
Bagnon(and Bagnon_Options)

Edit3: Went through the entire list, no idea what installed Bagnon.
