Possessions keeps track of gold and items across all of your characters on each server. Its primary utility comes from being able to use a slash command to instantly show you where you already possess an item on the server without cluttering your tooltips all the time.

This is definitely possible, but it is quite difficult to do. In order to conduct a search of this type, you have to actually scan each line in the tooltip for every item that you search for the specified words. This would be a very slow process and at the moment I'm not familiar with how it's done. This would be an excellent addition to Possessions, however, so I will look into adding it if I can find time.
There are lots of ways that Possessions could be improved. Efficiency is one big area, but the gui could be cleaned up also. I've been hoping that another addon would come along and replace possessions, but I still haven't found anything I like better. Sanity 2.0 is comparable to Possessions. It has a full text search which you might find useful. The thing I don't like about it is that you have to specify which character to search. It won't search all characters. *Edit* Full Text search is now working.

I'm a big fan of Ace addons. But since the WoW 2.1 patch, the current SVN trunk version of Sanity2 (http://www.wowace.com/files/Sanity2/ ) is very (very) buggy and has not really worked properly in many respects since the last perfectly working WoW 2.0.x version (r33714). On May 24, the author of it merged his branch "dev" version into the trunk. The prior trunk version was completely dead as of WoW 2.1. But as noted, the new trunk version hasn't really worked properly in any update since then (I have posted on the Wowace forums about the issues). The only reason, really, I was still using Sanity2 was for tooltip display of numbers of a particular item on particular characters. It has never recorded things sent via mail until you see them on the receiving character, unlike Possessions. This despite me making the suggestion in the Wowace forums early in its development. So here's hoping you continue to develop & improve Possessions, Siz . What I'd personally like to see next is optimization of the database format/storage to use less memory. As well as performance optimization; it uses a fair bit of CPU time, even if you have never opened the Possessions window during a session (recorded with Fubar_Usage). |

I don't know much about improving efficiency but I'm trying to learn. I'm trying to understand how to reuse tables and looking into a way to only load the Possessions data when it is needed. I would also like to improve the UI a bit. I had to cram the new buttons and dropdowns into the existing UI and I don't like how it looks. You have to be aware that any addon that maintains a database and searches that database will use lots of memory and at times, lots of CPU. I'm trying to avoid making any changes which would break compatibility or require people to delete their savedvariables before upgrading. There's an Ace2 addon called BagSync which shows where you have items among your characters on the item's tooltip. It'd be annoying having two addons storing the same data though. |

Continued on from the Ludwig page:
No problems with chat access with 2.0.2k v2 of Possessions, Siz. Was making reference to an old (since fixed) problem with Possessions 2.x behaving the same way Ludwig v1.1 currently is. Which is when the GUI window is open, the chat edit box can't be accessed until the window is closed. So, no problems here . |

Did not see this little bug mentioned already (but only checked the last few pages here):
With 2.0.2l /poss forgets to count items in my inventory when calculating the total amount of items. Example: i had 7 [Mote of Water] on my bank toon (correct), and 25ish on my main while farming, but it insisted i only have a total of 7 motes according to this latest version. My last version (not sure which one it was) did not have these issues. <3 for maintaining and improving this, /poss is one of my most crucial mods (3 bank toons FTL)

Does Possessions find all of the motes if you close the window, then type "/poss mote of water" ?

Thank you for looking into this Edit: ok just looked into this, a different mod tells me the proper amounts of Motes (CharacterInfo), /poss only tells me about the 7 in my bankers inventory, not the 27 in my mains inventory, so it's not the location of said items that's important. I noticed this problem a little while back (like when i updated to the most recent version) and deleted my possessions.lua to start from scratch, thinking it might have been a data conversion issue or something along that line, but apparently this is something else.

I think I may have just found the bug. It's a pretty bad one too. Thanks for your reports.
If the first slot in a bag (slot #0) is empty, the entire bag is wiped out when you log out. Please give this quick fix a try to see if it fixes your problem. I'll post an update soon either way. Open C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Possessions\Possessions.lua and go to line 1082. Change it from "PlayerItemTable[index] = nil" to "--PlayerItemTable[index] = nil" to comment it out. |

Could you make it possible for the stored data to be seen by other guild members? . It would be awesome if you could turn on or off what they can see too.
