How can I move the Mob Key?

What do the mark next to the mob names in the key mean?
- The red "X" is displayed when that mob has been found in the cache by the NPCScan addon.

Note: Both marks will only be displayed only if you are using the NPCScan addon

Posted Jan 23, 2019Not working for me =(. I really love this addon, and I used to love farming rares while leveling, but now it's not working at all, nothing shows on my world map, or mini map, though I can access the options through the Interface > Addons > NPCSCAN overlay.

Posted Feb 13, 2019So, this is being rewritten, good to know. That it has been in that status for about 8 months, kinda worrisome. I hope all is going well, an update would be nice, thanks for the hard work.
