Quest Item
Quest item is intended to solve the problem of where on earth did the item I just got for the quest go to in my bags. If you play "hunt your bags" for quest items this is the addon for you.
The idea is that you get what looks like an extra bag (it cant actually give you extra bag space sorry) but that only shows your quest items. If you open this bag you will only see quest items or items that begin a quest. This way you have only a single location to look in to view all the items you need for a quest. You need never again have to open your normal bags to hunt for quest items.
I plan to add features like warning you if you put quest items in the bank, showing quest items in the bag that are in the bank. Colour coding your bag items to highlight quest items, and any other useful feature in line with the goal of the addon that users suggest.
Use /qi show or /qi open to display the bag. Or use the FuBar plugin to click to open it.
The box displays but does not update contents inside it.
anyway to have quest bag open with normal bag?
only thing i think would improve it is if you can make the quest-bag appear when the other bags are opened.
having a single bag (from mods like "onebag") means i only ever click on a bag once to see ALL my inventory.
although this quest bag is good for collecting quest items into one bag, now we have to click somewhere else to see it. means we have to remember and learn a new method for seeing what is now, 2 bags.
an extra click and process is less streamlined. it's better if the mod can provide extra function, without extra effort.
so putting all the quest items into a separate place is good, putting that place away from a streamlined method to access is not so good.
also, i notice there's only 16 slots in the quest bag, i have more quest items than that so i still have to play "hunt your bags" for quest items :)
2 options i can think of are:
a)dynamically assign quest bag slots according to number of quest items.
b) increase hard limit of slots. maybe have a few selections of 8/16/24 slots for user to select?,
Is there a way to make it like allow you to search for any type of item? Like make it so I can type /qi filter Finger and it shows me all the rings in my bags.
Thanks though for a terrific addon.
Sorry defintely not, I can't think of anything more annoying that pressing ESC to close other windows and this one disappearing as well. I could make it an option but a default - definitely not. Post a ticket to add it to the to do list please, if you still think its a good idea.
Was just wondering if you could set an ESC closure to the window. Irritating to hit Esc every time and it still doesn't close. Since I cant remember that, would you fix my memory leak...? Definitely a good addon, luv it as is, but would appreciate a standard window closure capability.
Does this Addon tell me what quest an Item is for, I always lose track of that and have to scan through my quest log and bags to make sure, 1) I have not completed the quest or 2) dropped the quest; in either case I don't need the item and should sell/drop it.
Anyway, got a couple of ideas for you:
1) if possible, offer an option to filter things as I just mentioned. It may require parsing of tooltips to look for Use functions, I'm not sure...
2) make the keybinding a toggle, not a Show-Only option, and turn off the automatic hiding. It's just not intuitive to have it disappear whenever it feels like it, nor to have to close it with the mouse after opening it with a keypress.
3) offer some other form of sort order, perhaps chronologically based on when you picked up the quest; again, this would require some extra info to be saved though, so it might not be such a good idea... but maybe you could allow manual sorting?
I'll eventually add in game includes/excludes probably via a command line option.
Toggle should be easy enough and agreed after using it for a while it would be easier. Not sure what you mean by Auto-Hiding there is no such feature programmed.
Sorting is a right pain though would need a fair bit of infrastructure to support to map bag/slot ids to a QI bag slot id. Currently its left entirely to the game engine what the sort order is.
Color the name of the item in the quest log and when you put the mouse on the the item, the item will be colored in the bag!!
Thank you for this great addon! Any chance to get this sleek little view back? I really prefer it over the new one (which is much bigger)

Quest Item 1.21
shows up in FuBar but when I click it I get
Error: Tablet-2.0: You must set hint within a registration.
and sometimes when I start the game I get
Error: Cannot find a library instance of "LibSharedMedia-3.0".
. Tried everything, even installed 1.20 same problem.
Is this addon compatible with Fubar 3.5.6? Is it because I only have 2 quest items? Seems like I'm missing a Library or some sort of tooltip hints or something when it tries to load it.
Maybe conflicting with other addons? I will try disabling all my addons but Quest Item and Fubar to see if it fixes it.
Please Help
Should be updated in the description.
