This might be an odd request, but can there be an option for Bulk Mail Inbox to sort items the way that the old BMI did? Full alphabetical is nice, but old BMI first sorted and grouped by quality (gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, heirloom) and then sub-sorted by name. I didn't think I'd miss it, but I do! :(

4.04 beta 2, Open box, search "scr" for scrolls, get the following error and no items removed:

Since 4.0.x I cannot remove inbox gui permanently, i.e. /bulkmail inbox gui says that it's off. But after relog/reloadui e.t.c it pops back.

Ahh, ok this sheds some light on your end of things. Icons are off the list then, doesn't matter anyway. The more I use this mod the more I like it.

Page size; since I didn't have a mailbox over 130 lines, I didn't get to experience the performance losses fully. Clearly 200 or 300 lines will be out of the question then, and I fully understand where you're coming from with the page size now. You were ahead of me the whole time.

I'll go back and set my page to 100 lines and play with scroll speeds some more and quit harping on you for a 600 line inbox :)

I also just discovered that the search goes beyond the first page, negating some of the back-and-forth page switching, that really is a nice addition to this mod. Nice move.

Yes, by saying item limit I meant 50 x 12, I shouldn't have used that phrase.

You've done a great job on this, a re-write was much needed and I'm sure a lot of people appreciate it. Your fast attention to suggestions is impressive too, I know you have other things on your plate :) Thank you sir. /cheers

Edit: I just looked at your profile, I'm a big fan of Button Bin, Golden Ticket, and Magic Looter to name 3 real fast. Awesome stuff. Triple my previous thanks to you.

Excellent work so far. Feedback on R120:

Almost perfect. The take-all feature linked to the search filter is really nice. Width is significantly reduced, header and edit changes are great, and vertical frame fit is perfect.

I do have a couple more suggestions. My lua-Fu is weak, I couldn't find it, but if it is possible,

• item icon size should be reduced to about 70% - 80% of their current size. They seem out of proportion to the rest of the line. If the icons determine the line height, then this change would allow tighter line spacing and more vertical data compression.

• The font size option feels better at 0.5 step size, this prevents fairly large size jumps at the larger sizes.

As far as paging goes, I set my page limit up and found a mailbox with 136 items, with a scale of 1 and a font of 12.5 it takes 5 full pulls on the mousewheel to reach the bottom. Still too slow for that size inbox. Since I see as many as 580 items at once, (which is not uncommon for power-users) I think the

• page size should be set to 200 or 300 lines, and
• scroll distance should be raised higher to accommodate.

You have to think about working the 600 item limit.

Edit #1: Very nearly perfect with a scroll step of around 500. Might want to change the math to a percentage of UI height? About 50% per click if the page size is increased further. Perhaps page size and scroll step could just be moved to the top of the Lua and tagged as "user config options" or something, because at this point the mod is perfect except for personal preferences.

EDIT#2: Did some experimentation: Scale 1, font 12, with 132 lines, aspect 4x3. 38 lines show. A scroll distance of 200 pixels = 10 items per click, at 400 pixels it's 20 items per click, about 45% of my vertical screen. With 132 lines showing that's an efficient rate which requires 5 clicks on the mousewheel to reach the bottom, an easy spin without having to take your finger off. With a page size of 200 you'd have 8 clicks to the bottom, one pull of the mousewheel. I'm currently running at 500 pixels and 200 lines, its very fast.

That's all I have at this time, the mod is very nice in its current form, the recent changes have enhanced the functionality dramatically. The last polish will cement this mod as the undisputed King of large inboxes. /Cheers!

Sorry mate, didn't realize swatter wasn't running on that toon when I posted. Clean sv, initial opening:

You rock! Thanks man, didn't expect such fast service. I'll post again after I get more face-time with it. /cheers

edit: It's late, but here's what I saw on beta 4.03: Gui only showed 1 line on a very full mailbox, lots of 12-crates. After closing the mailbox's initial opening, BMI would not show again until a reload was performed.

Updated to 4.0.3b and it is failing to display any mails. apparently it is trying to call a missing function SetScrollStep:
