Farmhand
Description
Farmhand adds dynamic buttons on the screen while you are at Sunsong Ranch.
The buttons allow quick access to the Plow, Shovel, Bug Spray and Watering Can if they are in your inventory. If you do not have a given item, there will be no button for it. Also adds buttons for seeds that are in your inventory. You can even sell unwanted seeds at a vendor without having to open your bags.
When you leave Halfhill, any tools remaining in your inventory will be dropped. You can pick them up again at the farm. (You can disable this feature.)
A special Crop Scanner tool will let you quickly find any plants you've overlooked that need special attention. (Very hand for the hard-to see Smothered and Runty plants.)
To move the buttons, hold SHIFT and drag a button with the left mouse button.
In the Interface Options panel, you can turn on/off tool dropping, turn on/off chat messages and sounds, turn on/off the portal shard buttons and control whether Farmhand automatically hides itself during combat.
I recommend using Masque (optional) to make your buttons pretty.
Localization
Farmhand has translations for all game-supported locales, but if you see a bad translation please visit the localization page and correct it. Then let me know so I can repackage the addon to pick up the changes.
Thanks to all the translators!

Okay that's even weirder. In which language were you seeing this error? Would you mind forcing a fresh install of the latest and reenabling the tooltip just to test?
Nah, it's any seed actually. Been using the addon for weeks now without any other issues. I disabled the new tooltip though, since i didn't need it anyway.
I'm a warlock. Wild Imps are showing as farm needing tending.
Tame your imps!
The only solution is to edit the Localization.lua file and replace the WildCropNames translation with the full list of wild crops. I made the change for English and it will appear in the next build. If the problem occurs for other languages, we'll need to appeal to the translators to make the change.
To make the change now, just edit your Localization.lua file and replace this:

That's odd. Is it a vegetable you've never picked before? Maybe it just isn't in your cache. I'll see if I can address that in beta 3.
When mousing over seeds in the merchant window with v1.2.4b2:
2x Farmhand\Farmhand-v1.2.4b2.lua:86: attempt to concatenate local "veggieName" (a nil value) Farmhand\Farmhand-v1.2.4b2.lua:86: in function <Farmhand\Farmhand.lua:68> <in C code> <string>:"*:OnEnter":1: in function <string>:"*:OnEnter":1

Hello,
Having a similiar issue with the new tooltip, I have other addons that give me that info in the original tooltip, can you please add an option to disable the newly add tooltip in Farmhands options menu.
-Thanks
v1.2.4b2 offers some settings for the tooltip. Turn it on/off and choose whether it's below or to the right of the normal tooltip.
You mention other addons that give you the same info. I suspect you misunderstand the tooltip. It's showing the on hand and bank count of the vegetable, not the seed. That way you can see which veggies are stockpiled in your bank and which you should focus on growing.
Ahh, ok... yeah I did read it wrong, I thought it was relating to the "seeds" not the "vegetable". Thanks for implementing the hide option anyhow, as well as tooltip relocation option. Handy indeed ;)
New version v1.2.4b will show an extra tooltip for vegetable seeds in the merchant window. It gives you a quick count of the corresponding vegetable in your inventory and in the bank. Handy!
Pretty nice feature but its overlapping the Auctioneer Tooltip wich is below the original tooltip :/
Sure I can add a switch for it. I'll also look for an auctioneer tooltip and offset mine to the side of it. Look for an update tomorrow.
Thank you..works perfect now :)
This is one of the BEST addons I've ever used with WoW. Thanks and please keep up the development of it.
I don't get any onscreen comments anymore, likw before. The stuff like 'all is ok' or 'some crops need attentions'. Is it intentional that it's not there anymore or? Was a nice feature anyway.
EDIT:
LOL, nvm, didn't notice it's in options now!
Thanks again for this awesome addon!
The scanner is broken after this last update. Clicking it does nothing.
What language are you using? Have you tried to completely uninstall and reinstall the addon?
New version v1.2
Added buttons for Portal Shards. They don't have anything to do with daily farming activities of course. On the other hand they can only be used on the farm, so it's something you might want to see. In any case, you can turn the portal shard buttons on or off.
Added Hide In Combat option (To get Farmhand out of your way when you're killing those wascally virmen.)
Moved all the option check boxes to the interface options UI. It was getting a bit out of hand having all those check boxes stuck to the sides of the buttons. It was also getting rather distracting every time I'd hit the shift key.
You should no longer inadvertently "click" a button when you were just trying to move it.
I also cleaned up and refactored the code. Pretty major overhaul under the hood just for the sake of maintainability but functionality should still be solid.

Thanks JCinDE for the Text/Sound alert options, much appriciated. :)
