1.34 Changes:

Added itemname() to match items by name. Returns true if the item name contains any of the provided strings (case insensitive), e.g. itemname("Maelstrom", "Alkosh")

1.33 Changes:

Bumped API version for Murkmire.

1.32 Changes:

More huge performance improvements! Thanks again to Shadowfen who did all the work here. (Pre-compile rules as they are changed)
Replaced Set Tracker support function GetSetTrackerState() with IsTracked(). If you used the old function, you will need to update your rule (sorry). This was done to bring the usage inline with the way the other similar functions work. Usage, e.g.: IsTracked("Sell/Decon", "Collecting")

1.31 Changes:

Big performance increase (2x or better for me), thank you to Shadowfen for the code change suggestion!
Updated libraries

1.30 Changes:

Added French translation. Big thanks to Hasgaad!

1.29 Changes:

HOTFIX - resolve errors at merchant due to Wolfhunter API changes.

1.28 Changes:

Bumped API version for Wolfhunter.

1.27 Changes:

Bumped API version for Summerset.
Added support for jewelry crafting ingredients. Note: you will need to either create a new rule yourself, or reset AutoCategory to default settings to grab the new default rule.
- To create your own rule, use
  Lua Code:
```
filtertype("jewelrycrafting")
```
- To reset to default settings: In the Auto Category add-on menu, use the Defaults button. Then use the /reloadui command. Important: this will remove any custom rules/settings you have defined.
New API function "IsMarkedIS()" - use to test whether an item is marked with Item Saver. Note that FCO ItemSaver users should continue to use "IsMarked()"

1.26 Changes:

New API function "islocked()" - use to test whether an item has been locked.

1.24 Changes:

Resolve circular dependency issue with DoItAll (requires matching update to DoItAll).

1.23 Changes:
Added Set Tracker support! Use "getsettrackerstate()" to retrieve the name of the Set Tracker category, if an item is tracked.

Added charlevel() and charcp() to pull current character level and CP. Can be used to compare item level to your character level with a custom rule. (Thanks to VulcanTourist)

1.22 Changes:
You can now define separate settings for your home storage chests (they will take their initial settings from your bank settings, but can be customized at will).

1.21 Changes:
Added support for home storage chests (big thanks to raj72616a). Currently, they will use the settings selected for your bank (no custom settings for home chests yet).

Bumped API version for Dragon Bones.

New maintainer (crafty35a).

1.19 Changes:

Fixed Localization.

New Feature: Hide-able Category. You can hide some categories to focus on the items you need to deal with. Also you can hide the items that are not matched in the 'Other' category. Can be set in bag setting menu.
New Feature: Items Count. You can get a total number about how many items inside the category. This can be turned off in the general setting menu.
Account Wide setting changed: You can switch account wide/character wide for each of your characters. (* Need to select again if you use character setting before, don't affect the bag settings)
Fixed bug: Removed duplicated rules in bag setting.
Fixed bug: German set names should be able to be matched now.
Changed api:keepresearch()
After a lot of tests, the api is not working fine. So I decided to make the api work more simple: It will match all the items can be researched. If you want better result, please use it with other api together. This is a basic idea to filter the item that is not part of a set and can be researched:
Lua Code:
```
keepresearch() and not isset()
```
New api:isset() api:ismonsterset()

1.15 Changes:

New feature: Category header's height is customizable!

As of now, I'm tolerating the stutter, though hoping it can be tweeked within the addon/library files.
I'd avoid any outside .exe/.com -file as a rule

It's always been my suspicion that the cause is the sorting syntax and its need to be parsed. That sorting syntax is, as far as I know, quite unique to AutoCategory; nothing else has anything like it. Everything else like Advanced Filters has rules that are hard-coded and can't be changed "at runtime". Even though that sorting syntax is its standout feature and its blessing, it's also likely a curse for the CPU burden it creates. The only way to disprove my theory is to produce an experimental version that strips out the sorting syntax and replaces the current default rules described with it with hardcoded equivalents.

If that is indeed the cause, I can only see one avenue to improving it: precompile a user's custom sorting rules into Lua and write it to a file to be executed. That isn't possible the way the game is designed, though, because Zenimax doesn't allow mod developers any access to the AddOns directory at runtime. I'm willing to live with the existing CPU burden if the solution requires neutering the very reason I chose to use AutoCategory in the first place.

One possible workaround to my theoretical solution would be to use a separate standalone "rule compiler" that would compile the user's sorting rules into Lua outside of the game entirely. It would eliminate the immediacy of the current model, but it would be bearable.

This is actually very helpful -- I was not aware of LibFilters. I previously tracked down most of the lag issues to the original custom inventory sorting code implemented by RockingDice, but haven't been able to find a real solution. I will try to replace it with LibFilters.

But if LibFilters was around when RockingDice created AC, maybe there is a reason he had to use the custom code. I will see if I can figure it out.

EDIT: Unfortunately it looks like LibFilter can only be used to filter the inventory, not sort, which is needed for AC to work. I found a library called LibSort but it is extremely old/outdated.

Good find! I can confirm that the micro-stutter when opening your inventory is completely gone with Advanced Filters disabled. I will look into it, but I can't guarantee it's fixable on my end.

snipped from Advanced Filters comments:

I'm not able to fix this as AC makes my inventory also lag shortly if I use it as a standalone addon, freshly installed, or together with ItemSaver, FCOItemSaver, Inventory GridView or other filter addons

As AC is the addon which seems to make lags with all the other addons I'd prefer the addon dev to look into his code first as all other adddons can be used together without any lags (using a filter library libFilters which uses the build in game's filtering code for inventory items. Whereas AC is changing base game's inventory row build up, adds extra lines and updates the inventory code in other ways -> assumption as I didn ot look into the AC code, got no time for it).

Hope this can shed some light on the problem and hopefully help solve the issue

I have AlphaGear outfits that share pieces between them, so the question isn't merely rhetorical.

I'm not at my computer and the AlphaGear integration pre-dates my involvement, but I would bet the item will be listed under the first set that it is included in (e.g. AlphaGear slot 1 has priority, then slot 2, etc.). That's the way I would have set it up anyways.

Great -- FYI if you didn't already notice, you can do it all in one rule with multiple arguments e.g. alphagear("1", "2") - multiple categories will be created.
