Good News
Hey there, i just started to work on a new version of CooldownButtons, i dont have an ETA yet, but the basics are allready done! For more Infos you can check the support thread in wowace forum.
About
Q: Why did i wrote this addon?
A: I wrote CooldownButtons after i was annoyed from always being asked "Is your Rebirth ready?" And having no space for the Rebirth-Spell on my Action Bars to track the Cooldown there.
Q: Okay, and why aren't you using one of the X other Cooldown tracking Addons?
A: Couz they fail! I dont like to have Bars for my Cooldowns, and i dont know any other Addon that tracks Cooldowns without Bars and not on my Actionbars.

hiddy Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:28:14It isn't often I find a new addon I haven't heard of before that immediately replaces an addon I've been using for years, but when I found this addon, I was so happy to finally be able to replace "Cooling". The only option I was missing from this addon was the ability to change the way it sorts the cooldowns based on time left (it sorted it from shortest CD left -> longest CD left), and I thought that maby someone else was missing that feature aswell.
So, until you get a chance to add this option to the addon (if you want I mean), here's a simple way for people to change it themselves:
In file CoolDownButtons/Modules/Cooldown_Manager.lua line 316, change this line:
table_sort(sortMe[bar], function(a, b) return a[1] < b[1] end)
to
table_sort(sortMe[bar], function(a, b) return a[1] > b[1] end)
I haven't had time to check out all the code in this addon, so I'm not 100% sure if this breaks anything. But it seems to be working perfectly for me at least.
