Hi all - great suite. I notice that I am constantly clicking an item in appraiser, then clicking the Bean Counter tab in the AH window so I can compare what Auc's price calculators are giving me vs what the item has actually sold (or not sold) for in my experiences.
It would save a ton of time if there was an option to have a bean counter list append to the top or bottom of the Appraiser window like how the Auction Detail pops off the right side.
I would even venture to say having the ability to view it while browsing the search UI and other tabs would be useful.
Perhaps a simpler way to do it would be to allow the beancounter stand alone window to be open at the same time as the main AH window, and make it resizable. Also, it would need to update when you click an item in the AH window (similar to how it does now in AH view when you are switching back and forth between Appraiser and Bean Counter).
I too think having this info displayed would be ideal, but we have a real problem with screen real estate, particularly at lower screen resolutions. Go ahead and add a JIRA for this, but we'll need to hash some things out before we can even say it's a direction we'd want to consider pursuing.
I put the sales stat on, as MattBnr mentioned. This is helpful if I'm out questing. "Do I send this loot to my AH toon?" The tooltip display seems kind of limited (visually I mean). This is where my concept comes in to make it part of the AH interface.
I have my UI scale turned all the way down, then Auc at just "1" scale. I run at 2560x1600 though, so everything is still crisp.
So - what would it take to make this work better for people with lower resolutions (i.e. a feature for everyone). Has the team considered doing a custom interface that replaces the AH window instead of adding on to the existing one? I would be willing to lend my design ability to creating custom graphics to accommodate a more data efficient / readable version of the mod, but I imagine that is pretty code crazy for the programmers. All the WoW graphics are pretty, but kind of bulky. You could do like a "slimline" version that's easier to read, shows more data at once, and can do things like the appraiser + bean counter idea.
Thanks again!
I made the UnetiMod (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/unetimod.aspx) as hobby project, and it took forever. The graphics were custom, though, so I know it can be done.
I was going to post a topic about this, to add some recent bean counter data in the side bar in the appraiser window that currently shows the break down of price per, price overall, etc.
