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!

Thanks as well to the Farmhand users who've made great suggestions:

Posted Nov 14, 2012Very nice addon. Does what it says and does it well.
I did have to install addon Masque to get it to work. You might want to add that as a dependency.

Posted Nov 14, 2012Are you using the most recent version? It definitely should work without having Masque installed.

You can now disable this. You can hold SHIFT to move the buttons and you'll also notice a little lock icon appear next to the tools. Engage the lock and the addon will never drop the tools again.

Posted Nov 14, 2012I'm reluctant to add a page to the Interface Options just for the tool-drop. I may have another idea for it though. Stay tuned.

Posted Nov 13, 2012Nice job. Quality of life addons like this are really awesome.
Two suggestions, however.
One, make the deletion of the farm tools when leaving Halfhill an option and not automatic.
And two, a way to lock the frame in place once you place it where you want it.

Posted Nov 13, 2012I have seen this before but I'm not seeing it with the current version. I'll keep trying to reproduce it. Not sure what it might be yet.

Posted Nov 13, 2012I should add LibBabble support and maybe localization. Honestly I wasn't expecting a lot of interest, but I'm thrilled that people like it. I'll keep working on it.

Posted Nov 13, 2012It shouldn't require Masque. I intended to make that optional. I'll investigate.

Posted Nov 13, 2012I'm currently running the game with Farm Controls and no other addons and it works fine. Are you getting an error that you believe is related to Masque?

Posted Nov 13, 2012Thank You, works great! Kind of weird, but I had to pick back up the plow, spray, etc, but after that it worked perfect. So nice not having the spots on my bar taken up any more.

Posted Nov 13, 2012The addon removes those tools from your bags when you leave the farm. If there is demand for an option to turn that off I can add one. I consider it a major feature, though. My bags are crowded enough without my forgetting to drop those tools.
