I've read most of the postings of some people having problems vs. people not having problems with 4.2/4.3. I'll let you in on my experiences, which hopefully clarify some issues.

In My Humble Opinion, The Waterfall 1.0 is buggy with the latest patches of WoW.

Profiles do not properly save, do not properly delete, and are hard to edit, and is hard to switch between them.

If you create a profile, and then edit your bags, things work out reasonably well.

If you don't create a profile, there can be a whole host of symptoms and problems, which I belive relates to Waterfall, rather than Baggins itself.

I've created a ruleset which is comprehensive, and very useful. Those people I've shared it with, never want to go back to any other inventory viewing/management system.

But sharing the ruleset has shown some of these problems.

1) For the user installing my configuration/ruleset, the default Baggins virtual bags show up instead of my customized ruleset. This sometimes happens when I didn't have a profile saved.

2) When I had a profile saved, sometimes it would use it, and sometimes not depending on who I sent my configuration to. There was no rhyme or reason as to why it would or would not work.

3) Baggins doesn't show up at all. No idea how this occurrs. Two people can't use baggins because I've not been able to get them to successfuly install/use my configuration file at all. Despite following my directions exactly. 

Creating a new profile has no issues as far as I can tell.

But saving the existing "default" profile (in other words, editing/changing the default profile customizing it to your preferences), to a newly named profile is very problematic.

Switching to the new profile doesn't work.

Copying the default profile to a new profile, then copying it to yet another new profile, sometimes works. But now you have 3 profiles, and the Baggins.lua file size is insanely 3 times larger. So I tried deleting profiles, which... doesn't always work. My Baggins file is still 3 times larger than normal though. I'm afraid to manually excise out the chuff for fear of making it unusable. I had to go to a backup of my configuration 3 times and try it over. After much effort, and something like 20 or 22ish different tries, I finally got my profile properly saved, and loaded, so that it stays on the "Zee" profile. The exact details I forget, because I did this some 2 months ago.

Once I got the flaky profile issue semi-resolved, I now distribute my highly customized Baggins.lua configuration file to my friends, and they are very grateful for the effort and functionality put in.

If the authors/maintainers can investigate this issue, I'm certain they'll find the bug(s) related to Waterfall.

At one point, I tried manually installing newer versions of Waterfall (1.14 or 1.4? something like that). That was a complete disaster. Had to go back to Waterfall 1.0 to regain all funcationaly. Perhaps an update to a newer Waterfall is the solution?

As an aside detail... My World of Warcraft folder is not in the Windows "Program Files" folder. I intentially install my games to my \Games\ folder. and therefore there are no shortcut folders to the User\WTF area. My WTF folder is a real folder in my WoW folder.

And to show off my efforts... here's what I've done with Baggins to make it far more useful:

Inventory Bags: Consumable, Gear, Prof Primary, Prof Secondary, Quest, Other

Bank Bags: Consumable, Gear, Mining, Skinning, Herbs, Tailoring, Enchanting, Inscription, Jewelcrafting, Engineering, Quest, Other

Gear is broken down according to BoE/BoP and Azeroth/Outlands/Northrend/Cataclysm and BoA. Users of ItemRack can have their currently unequipped gear further categorized by common specs: Tank, Bear, Cat, DPS, Heal, etc. Therefore, when new incoming gear is show, it's not mixed with your current non-equipped sets. Easier to discern what to keep and what to sell/disenchant/etc.

Each of the major mats for professions are also broken down into Azeroth/Outlands/Northrend/Cataclysm.

The Quest virtual bag separates Quest Starters from Quest Items and Quest Tools.

The Bank Quest virtual bag has an expanded reputation subcategory set. For each reputation faction, a subsection exists. e.g. Darkmoon Faire, Aldor/Scryer, Cenarion Circle and many others.

There are many other finer details to my configuration as well. I would like to see more people using it and get feedback. Msg me if you are interested.

So this is a really minor irritation, but hopefully that means its an easy fix.

When I'm under Bag/Category Config, if I'm adding rules to any of the categories I use (for example, I split my trade good bag and have a different category for each profession, plus leaving a general "Mats" category for things that crossover like "Volatile Fire/Earth/Etc"), the menus that pop up to edit the rule, often stay up long after you've stopped hovering, making it hard to reach any of the buttons underneath (like Add Rule to add another rule to the same category, and it also doesn't refresh what the rule IS until you've clicked a button (for example, I use the up and down to change the order of the rules to get them to "refresh" instead of saying "OR New Rule").

For example, I want a "Mining & Ore" category, and want to add "PTSet:Tradeskill.Gather.Mining".  I follow the menus down to select that, and we're all good.  But I also want to add "PTSet:TradeskillResultMats.Forward.Smelting", except now the main "Editing Rule" window is still up from creating the Gather.Mining rule, and I can't click "Add Rule".

Ok, now once you stop hovering over it, it disappears within a few seconds, but it's irritating to have to wait for a menu to close when it should just disappear when you take your mouse away.

Hope this makes sense, its not a real "error message".

Also, small request.  Is there a way we can get an option to turn on other currencies on our bags?  i.e. Next to the amount of gold, how about how many Chef's Awards or Darkmoon Fair Tickets?  Would be much nicer than having to go onto the Currency page to check.

Will there be an update? Since patch 4.3 I do have great problems with out-of-date-addons (can't load them, won't get into the game...). But I seriously miss this addon. I already went looking for another one but seem to cannot find anything which might suit me as well as Baggins.

Is there hope left to just wait some more with a little patience or do you have abandoned this project? Many thanks for an answer!

Will this addon be updated? Because unfortunately it blocks interaction with the new NPCs for Reforging, Transmogrification and Void storage. Apart from that it still seems to work properly, just have to disable it if I want to reforge etc.

 

Strange, I've had no problems with any of the new vendors (transmog, reforge and void storage) with this addon. Used them on multiple characters and different machines.

The only new error I'm getting is if I try to preview an item from my bank (control click) that's in the bank but not in a bag within my bank - ie, in the initial area all characters are given. That errors out on the cursor update, but if you now remove that line and don't return, it all works just fine.

Some minor bugs making this add-on an issue to use, but to date this is the BEST add-on in existence for Bags. I LOVE it's 'Blizzard' like All-in-One setup. I tried famBags, but it's just not the same. Someone please say this isn't being discontinued!

I am having trouble with Baggins not overriding my bank properly: sometimes I have to talk to the bank teller 2-3 times before baggins shows my bank while other times it will still not display after 5+ tries. In those cases (5+) I can still use my old bank UI if I set "HideDefaultBank" to off, but having the old UI on *or* off doesn't help baggins display my bank right away like it used to and obviously using the old UI is a true pain! Any ideas on how to fix this?

I really miss this addon since 4.2 it is so good

What doesn't work about this since 4.2? I still use it and haven't found anything wrong with it.

I can not get a trash section, and my grey items do not show in my bags??

I can't get the trash category to stop including my tabards. Any tips on how I can get that to stop?

any solution on this? I just downloaded baggins and it's still doing this

hold alt and right click on the tabard -> hover over exclude from category -> click on trash.

I have my own filter set up for tabards that filters any item that goes into equip location 'tabard' and has them all in their own category.

Are there any plans to integrate the Ace3 port of this?

Good It works again..

BTW is there gonna be a new version of LibPeriodicTable ?
I am looking for an options to just add a gearset in baggings so it is the same as your equipmanager.
Anyone got an idea ?

http://www.wowace.com/addons/libperiodictable-3-1/files/8582-r356/

that's the latest LibPeriodicTable. it's no longer updated here on Curse.

Also, I've got an addon called Baggins_eqm that has an option for gear sets to be filtered. I believe I got it here on Curse, but it doesn't look like it exists any longer. Maybe Google can help?

Found on google idd.. works like a charm, so far ;)

thx

@Kerecha

Hmmm. It sounds like you have issues above and beyond Baggins. What I've posted is a confirmed fix for multiple bag mods that I found in a few places.

keybind associated with Toggle Backpack opens Baggins or any bag mod but not the Backpack This is working exactly as it should.

keybind associated with Open All Bags will open Baggins or any bag mod and all the bags This is bugged like you mentioned.

The behaviors above may not match what we were seeing before 4.1, but it's how they are now. Set Toggle Backpack as the keybind that you want to open Baggins with and make sure it's set to "Override Default Bags" and you will be fine. As above, if you are seeing a different behavior there are other issues at play.

@superfula

Blizzard "Toggle Backpack" opens Backpack only not baggins.
Baggins "Toggle all bags" opens baggins only.

The above 2 work as they should, the problem comes next:

Blizzard "Open all bags" opens Bag 1-4 and Baggins this is where it gets strange/bugged.

Blizzard "Open all bags" should open Backpack and Bag 1-4 and NOT Baggins.
Also hitting the bind again does not close the bags as it should.

Also with Baggins active Blizzard "Open all bags" keybind is completely broken when you are at the bank. Disable Baggins and all keybinds works normal. incl toggle function.
