I joined Curse for the sole purpose of expressing my thoughts on this addon, having used this site anonymously for several years.

I agree with everyone who's expressed concern over the new Wishlist interface. It's really, Really bad. It's counter-intuitive, and while I can imagine that you Think it's added features, it's actually removed utility.

The old Wishlist was Extremely useful. It was perhaps my favorite functionality of AtlasLootEnhanced, and as very effective at doing its job. You could quickly tab through the current content's bosses, add items to your wishlist, and then have very quick access to your list. This new interface adds several additional clicks and steps to even SEE your wishlist, which is a GUI nightmare.

But worst yet, is how you've taken a very simple and efficient interface, and condensed it into a horrible AH-style pane that doesn't provide any useful functionality. The old lists were very effectively sorted by the Source, where it was incredibly easy to reference what boss you were about to fight and at a moment's glance know whether he had any gear that you'd put on your Wishlist, as well as what gear it was specifically. The new interface makes this impossible (or, if it is possible, it's obviously been obscured and made much more difficult and less intuitive), removing a great deal of its usefulness.

Previously a single click on "Wishlist" gave you a clean and easy to view list of many of your items (depending on if they spanned multiple pages). It clearly showed you the source, the item names and the slot for that item. This is all that was necessary, as a quick mouseover gave you any additional information you could have wanted. Now, however, you have to click through a few pages just to get to the list, which is displayed in a horrible AH knockoff that does not display the most basic and useful information: Source and Slot. You've taken a simple and effective feature, and turned it into a burdensome and limited, clunky and ugly interface that doesn't even offer the same quality features that many of us have loved and used for years. The "new" wishlist is, in my opinion, absolutely broken and useless.

As a developer myself, I understand that you may have put work into the new wishlist interface, and that you may think that you've actually added "features", but I respectfully disagree. There were improvements that could have been made, I believe, such as being able to condense lists on a per-instance basis (a tree view with collapsible nodes for Instance > Boss > Items) for example. But this new AH-like interface adds "functionality" that I cannot even imagine to be helpful to anyone else (and it is most certainly not useful to me, of course). There is never, Never, a time when it will be useful to sort items on our Wishlists by such things like the stats on them. It's just not a useful comparison: A Helmet has more Intellect than Boots of the same ilvl. Always. How is sorting by an arbitrary stat going to be useful? Why would I need to have a list of the stats on an item in my wishlist, when I can just as easily mouse over it (which not only shows me all of the stats, but between the Blizzard interface and additional addons like RatingsBuster, also gives me a direct comparison to my current gear). Showing and "sorting" this information is just NOT useful. It's become needlessly complex and clunky while simultaneously removing the features that mattered and adding several that couldn't possibly matter less.

I've loved this addon for a long time. In fact, I think I've taken it for granted over the years. But this latest "improvement" to the Wishlist has effectively removed about 50% of the usefulness from this addon as a whole. As a passionate fan who's come to rely on this addon and the simple and effective interface, I'm truly disappointed with this change, and fear that (for me, at least) it could genuinely push me away from this addon at all. Now that the Dungeon Journal is implemented and covers current content (which is the only gear I would ever find in my Wishlist), the Wishlist itself really is justification for this addon. We already have in-game listings of loot, and the butchering of the Wishlist has effectively removed your feature of helping us organize it.

A wishlist needs to cover 2 things: What loot I want, and Where I'll get that loot. The old wishlist covered these two things very well, and very simply and user friendly-ly. The new Wishlist does not meet these requirements, and hides behind a horribly unfriendly, unintuitive, multi layered and clunky interface.


Consider this a bug report: The wishlist is broken. Please, PLEASE revert ALL of the Wishlist changes. I know you spent time in development, and that you may have a certain attachment to it, but put pride aside and realize what has actually happened here: It's ruined one of the best features of your addon, and weakened your addon's attractiveness over the built-in Dungeon Journal.

alt+left-click (i think it was this at least) used to always add items to the default wishlist if that was also the only one avaible, now it opens the mini pop-up all the time :)

In the options panel you can select it to always select the default wish list on alt + left click :)

damn you're right, guess how i missed that

but hum...
i think i understand

case A: (only one whislist)
- it used (i think) to add to the default or only one wishlist on click regardless the settings

case B: (many wishlist)
- pop-up opens always
- with the option checked it doesn't and the deafault is always used

case C: (you add a second wishlist)
- i have to remember to remove that option else the default list rules

it's not really a problem to be honest :)

aaand, both left and right clicks add stuff to the wishlist (or open the list) maybe just make so that left add to default, while right open the list choice

Just want to say that the new wishlist is HORRIBLY designed imo... Atleast if you are going to make that messed up looking organize it by slot or something.

Just logged in today and none of the buttons on the atlasloot panel are working for me. I do not get an error or anything, I just click and nothing happens.

Not sure if this is due to another addon etc. as no errors message to check :(

Problem with new wishlist:
I used to have a wishlist for every lvl85 char, is now a total of 6. All of them are visible in the list except one. I created a new wishlist just for this char but when I add an item, it only lets me add it to this toon. No other char is visible in the selection dropdown menu.
Now I open the wishlist on this one toon. In "all wishlists" I see only 5. In "own wishlist" I only have one, ok with the last part. But there is the old wishlist for this toon aswell. I click on both of them and end up with an empty compare screen.

At this point I remembered to delete the saved variables as suggested at logging in. Done. Logged in on the "bugged" char, open atlasloot, select wishlist, see 1 list with no items.
I go back to add an item to "wishlist". In "own wishlist" the list has the just added item but not the list in "all wishlists". If I click on either one the wishlist screen disappears and the compare screen is left open but empty.

I really hope you consider Astrayus´ request for the old wishlist.

hi

i've just noticed a couple of non-fatal bugs

- if I check the filter option while looking at any loot table, it works as intended, but if I open atlasloot with the filter already on, every filter is applied except for the new 'stats' part (great add btw)

- when in the option i uncheck base and extra stats list, and then i open the compare frame for a wishlist, the default list is 'base' that is ok, but if i have a custom list, i want that list as default

- t12 is not dislayed under valor point vendor, and t11 not under jp vendor, but only under the collections

on a side note, some request :)

. would like to integrate the "select wishlist" into the compare frame like a selectbox or so
. would like to still be able to see the wishlist 'old style' - and maybe to see the list of wishlists inside the boss list frame
. sort items of a wishlist for slot
. i disabled the quickloot and load module option, so i ended with the 'option' button all alone on its own row, i would like to have it near the 'toggle AL pannel' - or even just both of them like buttons near the [X] of the frame
. any chance to disable the links to the dungeon journals >_>
. filter plans/patterns/etc so that i can see only those i haven't learnt yet

Getting an error when I try to add anything to the wishlist. I've already tried removing everything relating to AtlasLoot from the WTF and Interface folders:

Creating more than 8 wishlists causes an error when scrolling through the wishlist selection window. v6.04.03 and the character saved variables had been deleted before running WoW.

Recount has been fixed minutes ago.

A problem with .03 which still exists is that you can't enable the char-saved storage in the wishlist. If you do so, you can't view the wishlist clicking on the button at the compareframe causes nothing.

Any probs I had were fixed by simply removing recount, and switching to Skada :) which I should have done long ago ;) and ty for putting this together for us, one of my fav mods.
