TBag-Shefki

28 - Auto swap bags or auto empty bag

It would be convenient if there was a feature to automatically swap bags, or empty the items from a specified bag.  (Or even a temporary layout where items are shown organized according to which bag they are in.)

Problem Description
If you want to switch bags (i.e. to use a mining bag for a farming run, or to upgrade to a bigger sized bag) WoW requires you to empty the items in that equipped bag before being able to remove it.  Currently emptying a bag in TBag is a difficult task.  Clicking on a bag toggles highlighting the frames of all the items in the bag, but often the highlighting color is hard to see when you have many items with colorful icons in your bags or bank.  

Suggested Behaviors
Ideally you could drag a unequipped bag onto equipped bag slot, and TBag would try to automatically empty that bag, unequip that bag, and equip the new bag.

Additionally right clicking on an equipped bag slot could bring up a popup menu with a "Empty this bag" option.

A new sort-by-bag button could be added to the top row of icons where if clicked, items would be shown grouped by which bag they are in.

    This is unnecessary. The game will already swap the bags automatically for you like you ask for. There are just some limitations:

    a) The game will not swap a bag when the contents of the existing bag will not fit into the new bag. This includes profession bags replacing normal bags when some of the items won't go in the profession bag and when the existing bag has more items than the new bag has slots.

    b) When the bag you're swapping to is contained inside the bag you are trying to swap out. This can be resolved by using the highlight feature of TBag and swapping the new bag to a different slot.

    Closing as invalid.
