Just began using BTM but didn't see the answers to the below anywhere.

It looks like the only way to add items to Snatch is having the item in your bags. Are there other ways to add items?

I'd like to be able to (1) add items by entering them manually, or through the browse window or something; and (2) enter a category and level. For example, all leather armor items level 50-60. Can I do this somehow?

thanks!

you can add any item to the snatch GUI by alt-clicking (i believe) on a link for it. you do need the link though - no current way to do it by id number or any other "manual" way.

2- there is no way to do this at the moment i don't think. we may eventually create a searcher which does this, or enhance saved searches to do so.

Thanks for the response. I wasn't able to find any combination of keys that would add an item link to snatch.

dinesh

it is possible that you need to enable it in the options first, I do not recall.

glancing at the code again it looks like any left click (no mod key) on any item link in CHAT will cross over to the snatch ui. It looks like we still need to hook into the AH or BeanCounter to allow links to be grabbed from there....

If you need the Ingame-Link of an item, go over to www.thottbot.com and search for the item. You'll find a small text-field, in which you can copy'n'paste a piece of lua, which returns a clickable item-link in your chat.

You can use the command


/btm snatch [itemlink] [value] [amount]

to add an item to your snatch list, where value is the amount in copper you are willing to buy for and amount is the number of total items to be snatched.

So what's the command line for the new SeachUI addon??

MattBnr

its all gui there is no command now

Kandoko

yet, please add a jira if one does not exist

DS2K

So how you add a item to the list if you don't have say item in your bag??

These a number to patterns, ect I want SeachUI to keep an eye out for.

With BTM you could use the ...

/btm snatch [itemlink] [value] [amount]

With seachui doesn't have a command line, how you add it

Kandoko

It will take links from chat.
So link it to chat then click the link when the snatch UI is open

DS2K

Tried that, didn't work, all I got was the link but no way to get it in the UI

Hi DS2K,

All you need to do is have the Snatch entry screen open.

Any link you click in chat will be added to the "drop box" - all you need to do then is enter a price and add it to the database.

Happy Snatching,

Nikk :shades:

Cool thanks :thumbup:

This seems a pretty clumsy way to have to add items to Snatch, that it MUST be a chat link - wondering if there isn't a simpler possibility.

Here's my process:

1) Search for the item in the Auction House
a) Would be IDEAL if I could just open my Snatch window right here, Click the item from the search results and have it appear in my Snatch window.

2) Start a chat and SHIFT-Click the item from the Auction House search results into chat
a) Again, why I can shift-click the item from the AH results and have it go to chat but not to the Snatch box is baffling

3) Click the item from chat and it appears in the Snatch window.

It seems like it should be possible to skip the middle step of putting it into the chat window and just Shift-click or alt-click or some other modified click to put it directly into the Snatch window. Same goes for LootLink - I can shift-click from LootLink directly into chat but can't go from LootLink into Snatch, hafta go to chat first then Snatch.

No one ever answred oddible's question. I would like to know the answer as well. It's been a couple years since the previouse post was made, and there doesn't seem to have been any improvement to the proccess for adding items to the snatch list.

It just ought not to take between 4 and 7 right and left mouse clicks - some shift, some alt - to get an item into the blessed snatch list. The information is RIGHT THERE in auctionioneer! I can single click BUY an item... How come I can't single click SEND AN ITEM TO THE SNATCH WINDOW?

Shift+Click place item to the snatch list.
What the problem?

JEMelby

"The problem" is that you FIRST have to get it into the chat window... THEN you shift-click it. You have to really jump thru some hoops! So many, infact, that It was easier for my to just buy one each of the 30-40 items I wanted on my snatch list. I only used the "shift-click-to-get-the-link-in-the-chat-window-then-alt-click-so-get-the-item-in-the-snatch-window" method of the most expensive items.

dinesh

the reason you can single-click buy and item but not single click snatch an item is that create a "click hook" like that takes up a valuable, shared resource - there are only six click hooks available, and they have to be shared by all addons (and the game itself). they are also difficult to customize and configure in a single central location.

there is a lot of demand for single click buying, and you do it all the time, repeatedly, even for the same item over and over again. so we created a click hook for it.

there is much less demand for a single click snatch setup. i agree, the current method is cumbersome, and i too would like to improve it. but if we dedicate a click hook to it, which one should it be? what other apps could be affected? should we let the user decide which click hook to use instead?

i'm not saying there isn't value to coming up with a better method, i'm just saying it's not a simple functionality decision for us to make in a vacuum.

Hirsute

Perhaps if we put it in a context menu when right clicking on items or item links, maybe an "Add to Snatch List" entry?

JEMelby

oh... that would be grand! right-click, left-click, DONE!
