Bulk Mail Inbox
Addon Support Statement
NEWS: I'm back in WoW. I'll try to update addons after catching up, especially if they are bugging out.
Addon Description
Bulk mail reception made really easy. This addon allows you to selectively pick mails to open from the inbox, open all mails with money or open all items.
Key Features
There are many bulk email openers available to choose from. However Bulk Mail Inbox has several unique features:
- Shows a dialog with all items and money in your mailbox.
- Allows you to take individual items even if they were all sent in one email.
- You can mark multiple items to take make without taking all.
- Allows easy comparision of items in the mail list with items you're currently using (just hold shift down while hovering the items).
Bulk Mail Inbox 4.0 beta
The 4.0 beta is a conversion to Ace3 and other modern libraries. In addition it has several improvements and fixes as outlined below:
- Inbox pagination and filtering.
- Clicking on a column header now sorts that header. Before clicking on any header just rotated the sorting to a new column.
- Sorting is reversed if you click on the header which currently is sorted.
- Better placement of the tooltip (now sit nexts to the frame that opened it)
- Pressing and releasing the shift key while hovering an item will now properly show/hide the comparision window.
- Fixed opening of mails is now throttled to prevent errors and as a result opening a lot of mails is now much better.
- The list of items is updated during auto opening emails.
The only weirdness I see is that sometimes the BM2I list of items will shorten as items are collected, and sometimes (more often) it will stay showing everything that was there until the last item is collected, then it clears down to empty all at once. No idea why.
First, it doesn't seem possible to delete a mail which has an item or gold in it without being given a secure confirmation popup. This eliminates any concern over losing anything.
I also see the same update strangeness. The item and money-gathering sound also seems somewhat unrelated. I also see errors pop up because of the speed of which the addon tries to empty the mailbox. This all worried me, but it seems to work just fine!
1) Install these:
LibAbacus-3.0
Ace2
TabletLib
2) Change the .toc file with:
## OptionalDeps: Ace2, TabletLib, DewdropLib, LibAbacus-3.0, FuBar, FuBarPlugin-2.0, BulkMail2
## X-Embeds: Ace2, TabletLib, DewdropLib, LibAbacus-3.0, FuBarPlugin-2.0
My great thanks to kogasu for his help.
I am doing testing, and I'll report back with any interesting news.
Here's what I've done.
I downloaded LibAbacus-3.0 http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/libabacus-3-0.aspx
Abacus-2.0 is old and this mod does not contain the new version.
Delete LibAbacus-2.0 from the Lib folder in this mod, and replace it with LibAbacus-3.0
Change the TOC file like so, forcing it to call LibAbacus-3.0:
## OptionalDeps: Ace2, TabletLib, DewdropLib, LibAbacus-3.0, FuBar, FuBarPlugin-2.0, BulkMail2
## X-Embeds: Ace2, TabletLib, DewdropLib, LibAbacus-3.0, FuBarPlugin-2.0
One of the reasons mods break is because a library gets updated, but the new version doesn't get embedded in the mod. You can always put a new version of a library in your add-ons folder, and "enable" it like any other mod. Any add-on which uses that library will use the newer, "stand-alone" version.
Love this addon and miss it!
