ArkInventory
ArkInventory (for The War Within)
:boom: Please ensure you are using the latest alpha version if you have the War Within client.
ArkInventory (for Retail, Classic, and Cataclysm)
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
- sell junk items automatically or manually (delete available via a keybinding or right clicking when at a vendor)
- random pet and mount summons. can also assign a group of them to select from
Key Bindings:
- Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
- click on Key Bindings
- scroll down to AddOns > ArkInventory
- bind the keys you want to use

See ChangeHistory.md for changes to the latest version. See VersionHistory.md for all previous changes.
:boom: 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. 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 CurseForge, WoWInterface, or Wago.
:boom: 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 item 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.
:warning: Ensure you have backup copies of your saved variables file
Sometimes you cannot revert back to a previous version without a backup, especially alpha or beta versions, so before upgrading please make sure you have made a backup of your saved variables file
Your saved variables file is normally located at ...\World of Warcraft\_client_\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
It is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate backups of your saved variables file. You dont have to do them frequently, just after you've made major changes to your config is probably fine for most people, but you should get into the habit of making backups because when it does corrupt you wont have to reconfigure everything from scratch.
If you have your download client set to automatically download alpha/beta versions you should definitely have backups.
A simple way to back up the saved variables file 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
Uhm i might be stupid but exactly where is the directory? can someone write a "click here then here post"? i find arkinventory under "retail-interface-addons" but then i have "arkinventory,arkinventoryConfig,Arkinventoryrules,Arkinventoryrules_example andarkinventorysearch" wich one to i extract it too?

^ This Gist contains the fixes necessary to get ArkInventory working properly again. Go to the Gist, download as ZIP, and then extract the two files to the ArkInventory directory.
Let me know if anything is still broken. I don't personally use all of the features of ArkInventory, so plenty has gone untested.
In reply to Koviko:
It seems to work for me, and I've been using all of ArkInventory since BC. Thanks for the fix!!
In reply to Koviko:
Works for me also! I don't use a lot of features either but I do have bags configured through Edit Mode in a layout I like along witih some padding and overall sizing changes.
Thanks!
Edit: I expect (hope) the author will update as they usually do, but default bags are painful and I don't really want to use anything else!
In reply to Koviko:
Works awesome!
In reply to Koviko:
Sadly, it's not work for me.. fr-FR client.
Greetings
In reply to Koviko:

Errors:
Agree it is not working as of today's patch. this is the error I got:
failsafe kicked in - aborting Arkinventory due to an error of some sort
In reply to Virika:

In reply to Virika:
