When the packager wakes up, there'll be a new release: v1.5.0. I've added tracking of the following spells: -- Mirror Image -- Army of Dead -- Summon Gargoyle -- Summon Infernal -- Summon Doomguard
I could only test Mirror Image, so please post any feedback regarding the rest.
I'll look into this. Either PTTL is completely bugged, or Infernal is not handled as a pet (any more). Unfortunately I don't have a lock to test with, so it might get a bit tricky.
If you'd like to help, could you please go to some deserted area, type "/eventtrace", summon the infernal, type "/dump GetPetTimeRemaining()", and send me what the eventtrace window reported and what the result of the /dump was.
Doesn't work with Army of the Dead, i guess? For the same reasons as you mentioned, regarding totems? I would find it strange that Ghouls are fine, but an Army of Ghouls are different.
i like this little addon very much.
However i have two requests:
1. I don't like the decimals to be displayed. Can you add an option to just display the time value as an integer value?
2. I know you say that you want to keep this addon very simple but i would really love to have a bar (with shared media support for bar, background and border) available for this addon.
1.) It could be done, will do soonish
2.) Sorry, no. There are several issues with bars:
a) needs kinda complex configuration (smaller issue, I could steal it from some other addon :)
b) adds some CPU strain (also not such big of an issue, could be optional)
c) there's no (easy) way to know what the "max" value of the bar should be, as GetPetTimeRemaining() doesn't return this info. I could use the first "reading" as the max, but it might be a bit off due to lag, and I'd also have to keep track whether a reading is "first" or not, which would complicate the addon a bit and could introduce magic bugs
That said, it's not completely out of the question, but it smells too much work, so I'd only do it if I'm very bored or I get some sort of encouragement *wink* :)
It doesn't work for your totems because they're not "temporary pets" in game terms, but "guardians", thus the GetPetTimeRemaining call (which PetTimeToLive uses) doesn't return anything for them.
Since I want to keep this addon as simple as possible, I won't add support for anything that needs special handling (one of my main issue with a lot of mods out there that when I need one specific functionality I usually get a whole bunch of others with that that I don't need, and checking their code give me teh horrors, as usually most of these additional features requires considerable bit of hackery and CPU waste).
Hey mate, does this work for the new hunter talens (Dire beast and a murder of crows)?
Both are summoned pets that lasts for 15 and 30s.
Try the latest alpha from wowace (r87) or the latest release (v1.5.8) from here.
cheers,

Please try the latest alpha and report back any issues. If possible, try with different talent specializations.

To be honest, I have no idea if it works for Army of the Dead or not... I don't have a DK to test it. Try and report back? :)

I took a look at the StatusBar thing, and it turned out not to hard to do after all, so there you have it in v1.2 :)
If you enable bar mode (it's off by default), you should make the frame a bit wider than default for nicer looks.

Do you think this will be possible?
Keep up the great work!

Your first request is done in v1.1, check the "Disable Decimals" config option.

Works great for my Shamen's Spirit Wolves. However, doesn't work at all for my Fire or Earth Elemental.
