Release 2.5 · Direction6275/Cooldown-Companion

New Features

Panel Templates: Right-click a panel and choose Templates > Save as Template to keep its look, layout, sections, and Group position. Templates are account-wide, so new panels on any character or spec can start from one, or apply one to an existing panel. Entries are never saved.
Aura text in text panels: {aura} shows the tracked aura's remaining time, {aurastacks} its stacks, and {?aura}...{/aura} shows text only while the aura is active. On an aura entry, {status} becomes a live countdown. Spell entries on text panels gain the Aura Tracking section.
Cooldown Press Flash: An optional Effects tab setting for icon panels. Pressing a spell that is still on cooldown or out of charges flashes its icon red. Presses blocked only by the global cooldown do not flash. Color, duration, and combat-only are adjustable.
External anchor for other addons: Right-click a panel in the Navigator and choose Use as External Anchor. Addons like BigWigs can then anchor to CooldownCompanionExternalAnchor once, and it follows the chosen panel for each spec.

Advanced settings always reachable: Gears no longer vanish when a feature is off or inherited. Clicking one opens its panel read-only with a single gold button to turn it on or customize it. The settings finder now finds these too.
One dropdown per visibility rule: Show & Hide Rules are now dropdowns instead of stacked checkboxes, for panel entries and custom bars. Conflicting choices grey out instead of unchecking each other, and multi-select shows Mixed until you pick.
Tracked on covers group and pet: You and your group and Your pet are now choices in the Tracked on dropdown.
Drop ghost in the Live Preview: While dragging a spell or hovering an add suggestion, a dimmed copy of the panel's cell shows exactly where the entry will land. Empty placeholder boxes are gone.
Easier section drops: Drop anywhere to add to the row, or bring the cursor near an edge or an existing section to land there. Gold chevrons show the growth direction, and moving a section previews where it will sit.
Ghosted entries on unlocked panels: Entries hidden by their rules show at ghost opacity while the panel or Group is unlocked, so an empty-looking panel can still be seen and dragged.
Copy Panel Settings carries Max Visible Buttons: Copying onto an empty panel now includes the source's visible limit.

Summon timers stay on the right spell: An instant cast right before a summon appeared or expired no longer steals the summon timer. Summons also track from their first cast in combat.
Aura-only summon entries: A standalone Aura entry for a guardian summon now shows its remaining duration on icon and bar panels. Its aura settings note that the timer comes from the totem slot.
Attached bars no longer overlap sections: Resource bars and the cast bar now sit past a sectioned panel's full footprint, matching the Live Preview.

No more shapeshift stutter: Druid form changes and rogue Stealth or Shadow Dance no longer hitch the game.
