ArkInventory
ArkInventory (for Retail, Classic, and Cataclysm)
The NoLib variant
it seems quite a few people are somehow getting the NoLib variant from their download client when they didn't specifically ask for it instead of the full variant and its causing issues as they don't have the required libraries installed separately. Please ensure you are downloading the full variant. if you see nolib in the filename then its the wrong variant, unless you are actually installing all of the required libraries separately as well. If you have to you can manually download the full variant from here.
Junk Sell getting blocked
While auto-destroy remains blocked, From 30960 onwards you can setup a Key Binding to manually sell and destroy your items. Note that blizzard require one keypress per deletion, so if you have multiple items that need to be deleted you will need to press the Key Binding multiple times. A message will be output if you have remaining items that can still be deleted.
Alpha / Beta Versions: Ensure you make a backup copy of your saved variables file
Sometimes you cannot revert back to a previous version without a backup so before installing any alpha/beta version please make sure you have made a backup of your saved variable file
Your saved variable file is normally located in ...\World of Warcraft\_client_\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
If you have your download client set to automatically download alpha/beta versions then it is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate backups of your saved variables file - do not complain if you lose your configuration or it gets screwed up because of an alpha/beta version, it is always a possibility so you need to be prepared.
A simple way to back it up is to just do a copy and paste then rename the new file (using the version number of ArkInventory or the date is a good idea), eg ArkInventory-30900.lua, or ArkInventory-20191228.lua

If you are having an issue then the first step is to disable all other mods and just test ArkInventory by itself
If the issue is still there then please check for an existing issue and lodge a new ticket if required.
If the issue is gone then re-enable your other mods one by one until the issue comes back, then report that to me as well as the other mods author
When posting a comment about an error please do not include the list of addons or really long traces, just the actual error message is fine. If I need more I'll ask you for it.
ArkInventory's display windows are built from "virtual bars", you assign categories to bars so that items in that category are displayed on the specific bars you want. There is no limit to the number of bars you can have inside a window but obviously you only have so much screen real estate before it becomes "too many".
ArkInventory uses several methods to assign a default category to an item such as what professions you have, tooltip scanning, basic type/subtype and PeriodicTable. You then assign those categories to a virtual bar.
You can also over-ride the default category by creating a rule that matches either a single or multiple items.
Overview:
- user configurable window width and height
- separate keybindings for each location for easy viewing
- assign items to a category of your choice (overrides the default assignment)
- assign categories to the bar of your choice
- unlimited number of bars (there are practical limits though before your screen becomes full)
- sort each bar differently if required
- user configurable bars per row
Key Bindings:
Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
click on Key Bindings
scroll down to ArkInventory
bind the keys you want to use
See ReadMe.txt and VersionHistory.txt for further details

Thank you <3
Quest mark "!" and border doesn't works in Status Icons/ Overlays>Quest.
the quest border definitely works in retail. dont have an active quest to check the bang icon.
found a quest starter icon and i see what you mean. the border gets broken as well.
will be fixed in the next release.
In reply to Arkayenro:
Any Darkmoon Faire item, "Soothsayer's Runes" etc are cheap on AH for testing ;)
Before prepatch all of them (unused) was with "!", now -- none. This is easiest way to test items that begin quest.
try alpha 9 or 10

If you're getting the below error message, it is NOT caused by this addon, just a heads up.
NO QUALITY LOOT NIL, currencyIDnil, quantitynil, slotIndex3, isCoinnil

I had to disable ArkInventory to be able to deposit anima into my reservoir :(
Everytime the "arkinventory was blocked" popup appeared whenever i clicked the deposit button.
I also encountered another issue with using custom category.
I created a simple "Keep" category and assigned it to a bar.
I then assigned that custom category to some item,
But when I tried to remove the category from that item..
The category was actually removed from the bar, not from the item.
I could not find a way to remove the category from the item.
I'm playing retail prepatch and i'm using ArkInventory-3.10.03.zip
to remove a category from an item you click on the item, and then click on the default category which will clear the manual assignment. it wont clear a rule assignment.
to put it more accurately, you dont want to remove the category, you want to reset it back to its default category.
in edit mode click on the item and then either click on the default category text, or when the menu pops up for that, click on assign
there is an error i just noticed in the tooltip text for those two options (they show the items current assignment, not its default) that will be fixed next release.
Conflict with Peddler addon since ver 3.10.01 (WoTLK):
Anyone else using Ark with TSM?
It seems that if you use them together at the AH, the UI disappears when posting on the AH or if you are collecting mail from the mail box. The only way to resolve this is to just blindly /reload,
1. Open AH (TSM Version) Ark bags open too
2. Scan AH
3. When Scanning is done Post on AH using the TSM Macro "ALT+Scroll"
4. At some random point the UI just disappears, and i mean the ENTIRE UI like you hit Alt+Z, but you can see that the FPS is still low as there is stuttering so this tells me it is still Posting on the AH
5. when the stuttering stops blindly type /reload
6. Reload screen appears
7. get back into game
8. Have to Scan AH again as it has now reset your original scan
9. Posting goes through as normal
10. Collect more items from Mailbox to repost
11. Go to Step 4 through to Step 7
12. Try post newly collected items on the AH Repeat from step 1 and enjoy the all the steps again.
I have disabled every other addon expect Ark and TSM,
However if i disable Ark, TSM work as intended.

In reply to zanis_:
Disabled AddonSkins and appears to be working correctly.
Says addon is out of date even though I have latest version that matches the version of the game, 10.0.0
enable out of date addons - you have to anyway
Seem to be unable to open the guild bank with the addon enabled. No error or anything just doesn't bring the window up when clicking any guild vault object. I can use bag changer to switch to the offline guild bank.
thats been fixed in 3.10.01 alpha 1
Anyone got a diff for beta?
not sure why you want a diff, but there are alpha versions that work in dragonflight
