EQBuddy v1.91.0

What's new in 1.91.0

• THE LOOT CARD'S FILTERS HAVE ARRIVED ON LINUX AND MACOS (contributed by Liminal Warmth). The all / looted / other filter and the count / name / recent sort shipped on Windows in 1.89.0 and simply were not there on the other builds - that card still listed everything in one lump, with merges pushed into a separate "Created by merging" block underneath and nothing to tell a foraged root from a corpse drop. Both filters, the arrival-order view, and the little (Foraged) / (Crafted) / (Merged) / (Parcel) note after each name are all there now, reading the same settings, so a profile you carry between a Windows machine and a Linux one behaves the same on both.
• THE LOOT FILTERS NOW LOOK LIKE FILTERS. On every build, show: and sort: are proper pills that fill with your theme's accent when selected, instead of three words in a row where the lit one was a slightly different colour - the same controls the Quest Tracker and the Spawns window already use. Hovering one explains what it does, which the breakout window's copy never did.
• AND "RECENT" ONLY OFFERS ITSELF WHEN IT MEANS SOMETHING. If nothing on screen carries a timestamp, the option is gone rather than sitting there doing nothing when clicked.
• THE QUEST MARKER BESIDE LOOT IS DRAWN, NOT TYPED. It was an emoji, and emoji are exactly what failed to render at all under Wine on Linux and macOS in earlier releases. It is a vector now, in your theme's colour, in the Loot card and its breakout window.
• NOTHING ELSE ABOUT LOOT HAS CHANGED - same rows, same counts, same click-for-item-info, same hover stats, same Target drops, same two settings shared between the card and the minimized window.
• FIXED (discussion #135, thanks bjstrange) - A CHARM CAST FROM AN ITEM NEVER REPORTED HOW LONG IT HELD. Puppet Strings and any other clicky charm effect: the break message printed, the "held M:SS" didn't. This is the sixth distinct cause found in that thread and the first with nothing to do with attacks. Everything the previous five fixes rely on keys off the SPELL you cast - its cast time, its entry in the catalog - and an item prints no casting line at all, so there was nothing to key on and no landing time to measure from. Your pet's own "Attacking ... Master" tell now starts the clock instead, which is a line only the charmer's own pet ever sends. Replaying bjstrange's charm7.txt gives "held 0:19" where it gave nothing.
• FIXED (discussion #182, thanks Ladylag) - ABILITY NAMES IN THE COMBAT BREAKDOWN WERE UNREADABLE, AND SOME ROWS SHOWED LITERALLY ".". I called that a parser bug in the thread and I was wrong: every one of those rows knew its own name and had nowhere to put it. The stat line beside the name ( x1993 - avg 103.3 - 26.5 dps - 13% crit - 49% miss ) took as much width as it wanted and the NAME got whatever was left, which on a long line was a few pixels of ellipsis - which is why "Damage shield", whose stat line is short, printed in full on the same screen. The name has the larger share now, and the stat line is what gives way.
• AND HOVERING A ROW GIVES THE WHOLE THING BACK (same report). The full name, the full stat line, and whatever the row already explained on hover. Trimming is still right - a long name must never push the numbers off the row - but a trimmed name you can't read is not.
• THE BREAKOUT WINDOWS ARE EASIER TO GRAB BY THE EDGE (same report). They have resized from any edge or corner since 1.35.0, but the invisible band you had to hit was six pixels wide, so in practice the only way in was the little corner grip at the bottom - which is exactly what "drag only works on the bottom edge" describes. The band is wider now.
• FIXED (discussion #189, thanks wizen) - THE QUEST TRACKER STAYED ON SCREEN WHEN THE WIDGET HID ITSELF. Auto-hide took the widget and its chips and left every window you'd opened from the menu sitting over the game. All of them follow it down now, and come back with it - the map, the spawn tracker, drops, gear, history, item info, and the quest tracker wizen reported. Windows a future version adds will follow too, without anyone having to remember.
• FIXED (discussion #197, thanks wizen) - THE SOUND PICKER HID FORMATS THAT ACTUALLY WORK. It offered .wav and .mp3; playback goes through the operating system, which handles a good deal more, and wizen found it by typing * and picking a .ogg. The picker now offers ogg, opus, m4a, aac, wma, flac, aiff and midi alongside the original two - and "All files" is still there, because the list is what we know about rather than what your machine can do.
