AppearanceTooltip - WoW AddOns

AppearanceTooltip shows you the appearance of items that you see, to help you know whether you actually want to obtain their delicious appearances for your collection. It does this by attaching a Model frame to the item tooltip, showing your character wearing the item.

It also improves the default UI so that the "You don't know this appearance" messages will appear on items which don't apply directly to your class! This means you'll be able to log into your Warrior, and tell that your Priest doesn't yet know this cool BoE appearance that just dropped.

Config is in the Interface Options, or type /aptip

You can choose whether to:

Show your character with your current outfit, or naked apart from your previewed item (how lewd)
Zoom in on the item you're previewing
Strategically remove some items from your character to show the previewed item (e.g. for shirts, remove your chest and tabard)
Only show for items your current character can actually transmog to
Spin the model / move it with the mousewheel

I translated it into their own language.
And now after each update I have to do it again.
You can add a separate file with the localization?

@Kemayo: Go Now I know why, because I want translated into Chinese, but some string could not be changed.

Strange. Could you send me a screenshot (showing the config and the tooltip at the same time, ideally) and a copy of your savedvariables file for the addon? (`[WoW directory]/WTF/Account/[account name]/SavedVariables/AppearanceTooltip.lua`)

Hey, thanks for noticing the folder name! I didn't realize I had that misconfigured in the repository settings.

The addon doesnt save the configs.

The problem is that (from curse at least) the addons folder name is "appearancetooltip", not "AppearanceTooltip". And the code itself gets the addon name from the folder name, messing up everything.
