Delete the savedvariables or otherwise it's items which aren't actually auctionable for some reason but where aux can't detect that initially (e.g., lockboxes)

Excuse me for a noob question, but which exactly savedvariables should I delete, Savedvariables.lua or Aux-addon.lua? And if the latter, is it the ones in account folder or the character folder? Because the account one contains all the historical data if I get it correctly, so wouldn't wanna lose that.

PS: thanks for the great addons!

PPS: Orwell is so obviously full of shit, your patience is great.

PPPS: and since I'm here, another stupid question - what is the order of the pages Aux is scanning, is it chronological? So is the last page always the newest-added auctions?

Savedvariable.lua has nothing to do with addons. The addon savedvariable files are always named like the addon. There are two types of addon savedvariable files, an account wide file and one for each character. Someone really should make a sticky for this. In this case you need to delete the account wide one, or specifically the post-tab related part within it.

Aux scans from page 1 up to the last where the number is the index used to query the server. What is actually on the pages depends on the server. In the blizzlike auction house the newest auctions are always appended to the last page but it doesn't work that way on elysium or kronos, which is also why sniping with the real time mode doesn't work for the most part (unless you use a narrow blizzard filter).

PPS: Orwell is so obviously full of shit, your patience is great.

I really do welcome criticism and try to implement many requested features. Maybe I should clarify that when I present counter points after someone makes a suggestion it doesn't mean that I think the suggestion is stupid or that I will never implement it but I think it should be obvious that I'm not just gonna implement anything anyone requests without questioning it. For where there is no plainly obvious solution my purpose is to create a discussion and then I will think about what was said in my off time when I'm waiting on the bus or whatever and eventually I may find a better solution that satisfies more requests, which sometimes is fast and sometimes may take a few months ... And of course personal insults are always uncalled for.

Thanks, could you elaborate a bit please, would that delete the price history as well or is there a way to keep it?

There are parts with ["post"] = { ... },

if you delete those the price history should not be affected

Nice work! Very handy and good-looking addons.

Shirsig, is there a way to move 'saved favourite searches' out of window of saved searches and make it attached right or left of aux Search results ui so I can just move cursor and click on favourite search to start search from a 'Search results'. A bit tired move through "saved searches - click on it" everytime i switch item.

Tried to save search of several items but its not comfortable because sorting in results works for all table not depending on subgroup of items and auctions can move unpredictable up or down depending on sorted column while I buyout them (usually I spam buyout and that way I can buyout something what jumped under selection"

Hey, I got a problem with WIM opening /who every couple minutes.

Is this the intended way to work, or is it bugged?

No, but I've been using it for months and that's never happened.

Is there any way to tell aux to automatically purchase an herb if it's at 105% or lower in historical price?

whateverherbname/exact/percent/105

then add it to the favorites and activate auto-buy

I'm noticing some odd behavior with Bid Per Item prices in the Post tab. I know this is a feature that you have pretty much abandoned, but it is useful for undercutting bid prices if only my items appear ahead of others in the original Blizz UI (lots of people still use it or something based on it).

Arguments about the value of this feature aside, the prices appear incorrectly unless a stack size of 1 is chosen from the Post page. Here's how I discovered this:

1. I turned on the /aux bid post.
2. I went to post some Grave Moss.
3. This is what I saw:
   
   
    
4. That looked like a good price to bid on if the auction was going to be over soon, so I went to bid on it and this is what I saw in the Search window:
   
   
    
5. Hey?! Where did my 2s per unit auction go?!
   
   So I checked the Blizz UI to determine where the error lay, and this is what I saw:
   
   
    
6. I spent some time trying to decipher what I was seeing and in the meantime the Grave Moss auction expired, so I tried posting some Briarthorn instead. When I changed the stack size, the bid per item changed, which doesn't make any sense (since it is supposed to be the bid price PER ITEM).
    
7. Stack size of 2, Bid/Item 1s67c.
   
   
    
8. Stack size of 1, Bid/Item 3s34c.
   
   
   
    

Am I misinterpreting this information, or is there some division going on that shouldn't be going on?

This was explained in one of my recentish posts. The purpose of the bid listing is to undercut bid stack prices and the data shown is optimized for that.

but wouldn't the bid PER ITEM still be 3s33c for 1 briarthorn in my example and not 1s66c?

It's the bid price divided by your selected stack size.

But how is that the bid price per item? That just means I'm posting 2 briarthorn at half price per item, correct?

 

[shirsig 18]

Well, technically it's the "Bid price per item needed to match that auction's stack bid price" but that's a bit long for the header.

how is that useful? I'm sorry that i still don't get it. When you go to undercut a per unit price, the bid price per stack is almost never an issue. The unit price per item is what you are looking to undercut. If someone is not selling stack sizes that are comparable to the ones you are posting, it is far too easy to accidentally post at a 1/2 or even a 1/4 of the intended unit price. I don't know why I never had this problem with the original version. Did the calculations change in some way?

 

PS

it seems more intuitive in my mind, i guess, that the bid per item shown on the search page is equivalent to the one shown on post page.

additional info

[shirsig 18]

There's no point in undercutting the per unit bid price. The default AH can only sort by stack bid price, so that's what you need to undercut to appear high up. Since the listing now shows you the kind of unit prices you're actually gonna get for undercutting stack bid prices it's much less dangerous to get one that is too low. Even just taking a glance at the percentage color makes it pretty safe. And since the table is now also sorted by basically the target unit price you intuitively see which auctions will appear above yours (the ones listed above the one you're undercutting) and which will be below. Further you can easily find out which stack size is low enough by observing the percentages while modifying the stack size.

I understand what you are saying here, but i don't want my 10 stack to necessarily appear in the default interface above the 5 stacks that have a lower bid price per item. Likewise, I want my bid price per item to appear appropriately in your interface and I'm not looking to undercut 20 stacks. So, if there happen to be no 10 stacks showing at that time, i am now forced to go the search page, figure out what the appropriate price per item seems reasonable to get a bid and not price my goods too low, then return to the post page (careful not to click on anything in the Bid/Item frame because i cannot seem to change the price manually afterwards, the cursor appears in the field but the number cannot be changed), then type in the price per item that I am actually looking to post at. 

With all of this back and forth (and I know you are likely getting frustrated with having to explain this aspect of the interface over and over again), I want to tell you how much I truly appreciate all the work you have put into making a great addon in spite of my antipathy for this particular aspect of it. Thanks for your time in trying to explain what you were attempting to accomplish with the Set the Bid per Item for a Price That Undercuts This Stack "feature". :)

[shirsig 18]

Well, I would say higher up is always better. It's a trade off between that and how low a bid unit price you're willing to risk (unless you're ready to cancel in case it doesn't sell, or are confident enough that it will be bought out, then you can just undercut everything) I think it's the wrong approach to decide on your stack size before looking at the other auctions, especially since aux automatically stacks for you. For items where people find it convenient to buy larger stacks I usually try to use the highest possible stack size that still allows me to to undercut a reasonable amount of other auctions' stack bid prices without going below yellow or green percentages.

If you don't want to undercut stacks other than those of the same size as yours you can just ignore the ones with other sizes in the listing which is easy because those with the same size are highlighted in green.

As long as you're posting at the same stack size as your previous auctions the unit price shown is the actual unit price, and otherwise your own auctions have the auction count highlighted in green so you can't miss them either way.

Can you please make CCwatch bars not disappear when I switch the target? For example, I sap a mob and switch to another one but I can't see the sap duration anymore.
