BlizzMove
This addon makes the Blizzard windows movable.
To temporarily move a window, just click the title of the window and drag it to where you want it. Shift + right-click resets the position.
Use ctrl + scroll wheel over a window title to adjust the scale of the window. Ctrl + right-click resets the scale.
Use alt + drag to detach child frames from their parent. Alt + right-click re-attaches the child frame. (Examples of child windows are calendar event info frames, and similar)

Limitations:
- The default Blizzard separate bag frames are not movable - the default combined bag frame is movable
- BlizzMove does not disable Blizzard's built-in panel positioning logic. This means that opening, for example a profession window, might close or move other windows. To disable this default Blizzard behaviour, you can install No Auto Close.
- Due to a blizzard bug, there are issues when you rescale the map in retail. This cannot be fixed by us, and if you want it to work, let blizzard know.

Developers can hook their own frames into BlizzMove, to let us handle all the work to make your frames movable 🙂.
ya just got this addon and it seems great but unless theres something im doin wrong with it it wont allow me to move my bag windows when thier open everything else seems to move fine atm except for my bags if this can be fixed/changed or added it would be greatly appretiated or someone here tell me how to do it if this feature is alrdy available thx.
Unfortunately moving Bags is not working properly, that is why I did not enable it. I would need to really dig into the problem to make it work. It's much easier to use an bag addon like AdiBags. Once you get used to an addon like that, you will not want to play without it.
I fixed the problem with the BlizzMove/ArkInventory "collision". Here's what I posted on the ArkInventory page. In summary, it required a one-line change to BlizzMove to get the PetJournal to be movable again...
In BlizzMove's code, there's two blocks of statements... one for specific frames and another for "blizzard lod addons" as it is referenced by an in-code comment. In researching this issue, i've learned that the pet/mount/toybox window has a parent frame called "PetJournalParent". So, what I did was add this statement at line #248 in BlizzMove...
SetMoveHandler(PetJournalParent)
AND IT FIXED THE ISSUE! The window is now dragable, WITH ArkIventory fully up and running.
Strange, maybe ArkInventory is messing with the loading with the PetJournal.
I use the addon ArkInventory and I've noticed that it blocks BlizzMove from being able to move (or rescale) the Collections (pets, mounts, toys) window. It is locked in place whenever ArkInventory is loaded. Can you look into this and see if you can set this window free from the clutches of ArkInventory?
Here's what I posted over on ArkInventory's page...
*****
I use the addon Blizzmove so that I can freely move around all the standard Blizzard windows. I can't live without this addon, I am just so used to being able to move stuff whereever I want.
But... when I have ArkInventory loaded, I am unable to move the Collections window (mounts, pets, toybox). This window is immovable when ArkInventory is loaded. I could have sworn this used to not be a problem.
I completely cleaned out my Interface/Addons and WTF directories and reinstalled just the two addons... Blizzmove and ArkInventory. And this absolutely confirmed it... when ArkInventory is loaded, the Collecitons window is un-movable. When ArkInventory is unloaded, I can once again freely move the Collections window.
Can you please look into this? Are you doing something to hook into this window that might be preventing the other addon from making it moveable like all the other windows? I don't understand why it's just this one window that is affected, but there's no question that ArkInventory is causing the issue (with a clean set of configs too, keep that in mind as well).
Mine won't move the Work Orders windows, is it a known issue?
Yes, fixed in v1.3.6 :)
^^^ This... ^^^
If you try to use MoveAnything, it screws up the quest objectives tracker so it stops tracking quests correctly, so being able to move this with BlizzMove would be awesome.
How do I move the quest objectives frame? I still cannot move it after the update. I would prefer to use only Blizz Move as I like it much better than Move Anything, but not being able to move the objectives frame makes me have to use another addon.
Thanks
Thx for the update.
Just forgot to release the alpha i made after WoD release.. xD
I will relese a new version with some fixes soon, working on it right now :D
Sorry hope you can read that, i am a run on artist.
Hmm strange because Blizzmove does not store data on a per charachter basis.
You could try the following:
Go to your WoW folder and then into .../WTF/accountname/realname/charactername/ and delete the files layout-local.txt and layout-cache.txt. Then you should be able to use the addon again with that character.
You can also try the delete the BlizzMove.lua under .../WTF/accountname/SavedVariables/BlizzMove.lua
i use this and moveanything for the last year or so with no problems but sence the update and this has only been on one toon tana, when i log in i get and out line of the screen before of the archway and her standing in it over the place where im coming in at say 2moons in the inn area. What happens then is it will lock up with the over lay on it and stay that way till the game just shuts down pop when it does i get and error thing from wow and send it in every time telling them im just logging in but when i removed the blizz move i just come rignt in no problem im going through all my addons but i have to tell you this is like the third time i have went through them with that one being the only problem it makes me very sad cause i loved being able to just grab the quest or what ever window popped up and pull it to where i could see it better im going to miss this but i raid and cant be locking up and closing out and having to fight to get back on so until you can fix this and i have no way to tell you what error it is its not giving me one. I wont be able to use it any more plz fix this problem if you can ty and its such a great addon keep up the great work.
this is what happens when i try to drag it away, the background stays at its place.
Fixed in the latest version.
Thanks for update. Still can't move quest objectives frame
The alpha seems to work well but I did notice after loading the addon I start to get Hitching when moving the camera around.. Not saying it is BM just that it started after I started using it. Thx for updating this addon, I hate locked frames.
Update to 6.0.2 on WOWAce

Is there an update coming in ? Or is there another addon doing the same like this one ?
