What is Magic Looter?
Magic Looter is an addon to make master looting easier to manage. Specifically it will automatically loot Bind on Equip or non-binding items to people of your choosing. There are two recipient lists - bank items and disenchanting. Every time you open the loot windows, Magic Looter will scan the items and using the predefined lists will send the item to the appropriate recipient. If none of the players on the predefined list are available as loot recipients, the item will be looted to yourself.
Note that this is only useful for master looting. It doesn't do anything if there is another loot method use. Also note that it is primarily designed to work with uncommon loot threshold, it can be used with any threshold. However the higher the threshold, the lower the value of the addon.
Is that it?
No, there's also an optional addon that replaces the Master Loot menu. It adds class sorted looting (instead of group based), random roll tracking and quick looting to self, disenchanter or banker. There's also an option to start a new DKP bid (that hooks into MagicDKP Bidder). Looting done via the addon will also be recorded in MagicDKP if present.
Why do I need this?
I wrote this because my guild collect all greens for disenchanting, later used to provide free enchants to raiders, and I got tired of manually distribute master loot items.
It is likely we'll see the return of both epic gems, BoE patterns and BoE crafting materials in future WotLK raids which greatly will increase the value of the addon.
Development Status
Early production. Auto-loot and master loot functionality works great.

alexsuhrie Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:39:27I have alot of trouble adding names to the Banker and Disenchanter Priority List. After startup, I can add names, but then they just disappear. If I then try and add more names, sometimes I am not able to type in the box at all, othertimes I just get a cursor in the middle of the name box with an inability to type and some screwy behaviour.
Great mod though. Been looking forever for something like this.

kogasu Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:13:32The master loot menu portion of this mod is currently broken due to a typo, ver R31.
...Interface/Addons/MagicLooter_LootMenu/MagicLooter_LootMenu.toc
Near the bottom, you will see the following line: Libs\AceHook-3,0\AceHook-3.0.xml
If you look carefully you will notice that Libs\"AceHook-3,0" is actually a COMMA instead of a PERIOD. I have copied and pasted here, you can see it.
Changing the offending comma to a period "Libs\AceHook-3.0\AceHook-3.0.xml"; restores functionality.

dhedbor Tue, 10 Mar 2009 22:38:18Localization is NOT up to speed for the alphas. I'm still changing quite significantly so, unfortunately, for alphas you might see localization issues. Once I tag for beta I would expect localization to be all good. I should do this soonish but want to, at least, make the LootMenu install as a separate addon.

Squeeg Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:02:16AceTimer-3.0 isn't in the embeds.xml, so an error is thrown, looking for it.
After fixing that I still get this error:
- #4
Squeeg Sat, 07 Mar 2009 19:29:17I recieved the "MagicComm-1.0" error as well, so I fixed that myself by just adding it in.
After that though, I recieve this error:
The error also occurs if you comment out the call for MagicComm.

FelisLachesis Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:12:48I downloaded r5 to see if things were fixed, this error is still appearing.

dhedbor Fri, 06 Mar 2009 09:25:59Actually that's my bad. Not using the library but forgot to remove the reference. r4 should do the trick.
