Cool idea.

Two things - First is anyone reporting an intermittent UI error when opening a crafting station and selecting the "create" mode? I am having this happen occasionally but haven't been able to notice the specific conditions to make it repeatable. A quick ESC and refreshing the UI fixes it. Not 100% sure it's from ResearchBuddy2, I am running several add-ons and haven't tried isolating yet. I'll see if I can copy and post the error report next time so you can take a look and see if you think it's from your code. Second - idea - low priority though - I wound up deleting a character so I could replace it. The old character was still listed in the drop down on the main RB interface bar. I was able to eliminate that by doing some selective cutting from the .lua file to remove all sections related to the deleted character, and everything worked out fine. But a way to handle removal of a deleted character through the settings interface might be better for users who are not familiar or comfortable with editing the local saved settings in a .lua file. Low priority though. On the wish list of new features I'd definitely rank that below my idea of adding the gem icons or name hover-tips to the trait name lines in the knowledge grid. Keep up the great support - best Add On I use by far.

Showing a red dot for those skills that are unreasearched but for which there is an item that could be researched is a very nice touch and a time saver. Flipping through my characters with a drop down box is very handy too and saves a lot of logging in and out.

Great work, though there are a few things that would be great to have. So, here is my wish list for this addon:

1. Item marking support for more than 3 characters. At a minimum, we should be able to split blacksmithing into weapon and armor research, and clothing into light and medium. I suppose the icons might need to be a little smaller to get 5 on the line but it would be very helpful.

2. Icons should stay with the character, no matter which character is logged in. My blacksmithing character should always show the anvil, etc. I suppose an additional icon would be needed for those characters not designated as THE blacksmithing, woodworking, or clothing character. If separating out armor and weapons, I suppose armor could show the anvil while weapons shows a sword.

3. I would like to see the timers for all the characters in one grid with a hotkey. Then I could just tap the key, check to see if anyone needs a new thing to research, and then tap the key again to hide.

4. I really like the comparison function in AI Research grid and would like to see something similar here. By choosing from the dropdown box a character different from the one logged in, and clicking the "Relative To" button, it shows what traits the logged in character has that the other character does not. This saves a lot of flipping back and forth when trying to migrate traits from one character to another. Since this sounds like a lot of work and is less important than 1 & 2 above, I put it 4th.

Whether you take any of these suggestions or not, thanks for all you do!

Hey,

Thanks for the praise and here are my answers for the "want" section.

1. I will take a look at this. I deliberately limited it to max 2 characters although technically the addon would be capable of comparing to "positive infinite" number of characters. Icon display needs to be tweaked a bit, so I need to give it some thought first.

2. This is a tough one. I will make no promises. Will try to implement though.

3. Ok, this sounds fair, will put it on the todo list.

4. Thankfully it's only the 4th on your list and this is the toughest of all, let's talk about it when i had the previous 3 implemented.

Regards,

Is this intended?

Thanks.

The name is part of the dropdown which allows you to select different characters. If I removed it you wouldn't be able to see other characters' researches. I will investigate the problem and see whether i can narrow it down to 10-20 pixels but that's the best I can do for you.

Please help me by providing more detail around these crashes.

Horses
- What do you mean by changing horses? Going to the stable and switching them?
- What action triggers the crash? Just bringing up the selection screen or choosing a new mount?
End quests
- Quests with item rewards? With money rewards only?
- Do you have an example quest?
- Before or after turning in the quest?
Search guild store
- This is a nasty one, I'm not sure I can reproduce this easily. Please provide as much detail as possible.

Also please make sure you use the latest version of the addon.
