Altoholic

19 - Guild bank location

What is the enhancement in mind? How should it look and feel?
On the tooltip provide the guildbank tab also, in example

Linen cloth
Guild Name         GuildBank: 9 Tab2

Please provide any additional information below.

I would love to see this addition.

    Implemented in next release (coming very soon).

    There's an option to enable/disable this, in case you don't like the implementation.

    The way it shows is:

    GuildName     3 (TabX: 1, TabY: 2)
    

    If your guild isn't a mess, this keeps the tooltip quite readable.

    I should start working on this soon, I need to make tests to see what is the best way to display this info, but in a way or another, it will happen.

    1NUY4SH4, the whole point is I don't want to have to scan through 6 full tabs' worth of item icons with my eyes to find where one stupid item is that I need to craft something. WhoHas had the ability to show which tab(s) an item was in, and I found it to be an EXTREMELY helpful feature. Until you've had the chance to try it in practice, you just can't imagine how much of a shortcut it is.

    Also, you could have asked that the feature be optional or to have some control over the level of detail instead of voting it down with a -3 (the most negative vote possible).

    You want to have it in search, maybe that's viable. But my item tooltip already takes up enough space without multiple extra lines telling me what I can see from the Altaholic screen anyway. The problem I see with this, is it makes the small tooltip window that is already packed with many relevant details even more packed with extra information.

    I can look in my Altaholic screen and see for myself which tab the items are in. I can see how many stacks I have just by looking in the bank slots from my Altoholic screen. Do I really need a extra report in the tooltip that tells me how many stacks, how many in each stack, and which bags and tabs they are located? Too much bloat, in my opinion, making an already cramped for space item list even more cramped.

    Maybe I misunderstand the request or how it is to be applied, but this is what I get from it.

    Would definitely like to see this feature at some point, as it's one thing I miss greatly from WhoHas.

    Also, as an alternative to jakob42's suggestions, you could do a multi-line approach (you could even get fancy and use the tab names instead of tab numbers, but I don't show that below):

    Linen cloth
    Guild Name         GuildBank: 9 Tab2(3),
                                    Tab4(6)
    

    ... or even show some kind of array since there are a maximum of 6 tabs:

    Linen cloth
    Guild Name         GuildBank: 9 (0 3 ? 6 0 -)
    

    (even more ideas: ? means Altoholic/DataStore couldn't scan tab 3, and - means that tab 6 doesn't exist for that guild bank)

    Use case: Someone in the guild asks me if the vault has something they need. Knowing their tab access and which tabs an item is on, I can more accurately inform them whether stuff they have access to is available, without revealing the contents of higher-access tabs.

    I'm still keeping this one under the arm, as I haven't decided yet if I would make it or not (sorry, many higher priorities at the moment).

    I think it should be a choice, if I am looking for Wool Cloth, i want to now how much i found in the tab.

    I created a patch for that now, but I can't seem to upload it to this ticket...

    I wondered: Is it important how many items are in a tab? Or in other words: Would it be better to have something like this:

    Linen cloth
    Guild Name         GuildBank: 9 Tab2(3), Tab4(6)
    

    Or is that too much room and it would be nicer to have it like this:

    Linen cloth
    Guild Name         GuildBank: 9 (Tabs 2, 4)
    


    I personaly think the later is neater, the first option just uses too much space.
