Posted May 23, 2013Same here. This is beyond irritating. It stays as current fight on my main but anytime I switch toons or relog other toons it goes back to total damage segment. Who even cares about total damage?

Posted May 24, 2013Supporting that with double hands raised up! Cmon man, you can't just update your Add-on and take away it's best advantage over Recount! Please give this " For example: 3.48M(154890.7, 58.2%)" back to us asap!

Posted May 23, 2013Yo, i used to love this addon 'til todays update and i would really appreciate if you could make it possible to just show, when you have the damage/healing frame up that the damage/healing is dondensed and that the dps/hps is detailed. For example: 3.48M(154890.7, 58.2%)
I would be very grateful if you made this possible again, becasue how it is now is driving me nuts!

Posted May 21, 2013I had the same question and did the research and turns out skada is less of a resource hog - all other factors are equal according to this article and a few others

Posted May 18, 2013Would love the following fixes to Skada:
Menus not timing out as quickly as they do. When you try and select a option to list it gives you only like 2 seconds or so. That should be increased to 7 or something more managable for larger lists. Otherwise you have to open, and quickly select the option. Or the menu goes away.
While not in combat and trying to look at Skada. If anyone new joins the party/raid .. Skada closes. If Skada notices the player not in combat. This should not close. As I figure it is only doing this to add them. Though if no one is in combat no need to close any menus.

Posted May 12, 2013I'm searching for where to set the default segment in the options, but cannot find anything. For the first few months I have used Skada, it worked fine, showing the current fight as default, however in the past few weeks it now shows total every time I switch toons/relog/reload. I've tried reinstalling but got the same results. It seems like it could be a problem with some other addon switching the default (I don't know if that's possible), but I feel like there must be an option to set the default segment that I'm missing somewhere. If anyone has any info it'd be much appreciated!
