I find that a very useful thing. '''A:''' HoloFriends show you for your frends the date of last seen. As I know, its only possible to get the date of last login for guild members. '''Q:''' Anybody know what checking the little boxes does? '''A:''' There is little check-boxes in front of the player names (have a look at the screenshot "Display all friends"). If this box is checked, then the friend is included in the in-game friends list of WoW, else the friend is only included in the friends list of HoloFriends. Friends in the in-game friends list of WoW are online updated by the game and you see the current status. But the in-game friends list has a limit of max. 100 friends. Friends without the checked box (only included in the friends list of HoloFriends) are not monitored by the game. HoloFriends has to check the status of this friends using the "/who" command of WoW. But this check is slow, because the game force a time break between the execution of two "/who" commands. '''Q:''' It says "update the display of friends, not monitored by WoW, with one button click" but that doesnt make it very clear. '''A:''' Because of the slow scan with /who for the friends, not included in the in-game friends list by WoW (check-box at the friend not checked), a status update for this friends is not done automatically. You have to start the "/who Scan" manually by one click at the red button "/who Scan" in the upper right corner of the friends list window. '''Keep in Mind:''' If the "/who Scan" is running, the /who command will not work. '''Q:''' In some pull down menus the rightclick menu function "set focus" is disabled. '''A:''' I had to disable it, because you would get an error message "function blocked by blizzard". I included an option in the HoloFriends options panel to disable all menu-modifications of HoloFriends, to enable the "set focus" pull down menu entry. The setup of the focus seem to be an overall protected function in the game. I have no understanding, why focus is not only a combat protected function, like the raid-window. It is a feature of the game, that protected functions don't work, if there is any unsigned modification of its appearing window, in this case the pull down menu. '''Q:''' If you are in a raid and in combat the raidmember window is enpty. '''A:''' It is a feature of the game, that protected windows don't work in combat, if there is any unsigned modification of its appearing window. The raid-window is part of the friends-window, where also the friends list window is a part of it. And the friends list window is modified by HoloFriends. And HoloFriends is not signed by Blizz.
