EQBuddy v1.98.1

What's new in 1.98.1

• YOUR /OUTPUTFILE DUMPS NOW IMPORT THEMSELVES. Type /outputfile inventory in game and EQBuddy reads the file within a second or two - no menu, no Import button, no hunting through the game folder for a file you didn't know the name of. It works because the game already announces every dump it writes, by name, in the same log EQBuddy has been reading all along; nothing was listening to that line until now. Same for /outputfile achievements, which marks your raid clears and Sky rewards from before EQBuddy.
• It TELLS you what it did - "Read your inventory dump (18:47) - 3 items ticked" - with an Undo beside it, because a change you didn't watch happen should be reversible. The Undo puts back only what the import ticked; anything you ticked yourself is left alone, and a witnessed raid kill is never taken away. It says the dump was read even when nothing changed, so "EQBuddy did nothing" and "EQBuddy never saw my file" stop looking identical.
• GEAR & LOOT OPENS LANDSCAPE INSTEAD OF PORTRAIT, and the wishlist tab is called "Wishlist" instead of "Gear". It was 520px - a card's width, borrowed from the widget where narrow is right because the card shares your monitor with the game. A window doesn't, and at that width the loot rows and their filter/sort strips scrunched into a tall ribbon. It's 880 now. The tab rename is because "Gear" in a window called Gear & Loot reads as "my gear" and then shows you things you don't have.
• THE GEAR TAB NOW HANDS YOU THE COMMAND INSTEAD OF JUST NAMING IT. It used to say "Import an EQ Legends Tools shopping-list HTML in Options" and stop there - a job with no directions and no tool. There's now a one-click copy of /outputfile inventory right on the tab, on the full list as well as the empty one, because the person most likely to need a fresh dump is the one whose import has gone stale.
• And the empty tab explains what a gear list actually IS - a wishlist you build on the eqlegends.tools website and export - instead of saying "shopping list" as though everyone already knew. It used to name two completely unrelated imports in two sentences side by side, which read as one set of instructions and sent at least one person into Options looking for somewhere to feed a file that imports itself.
• EQBUDDY MOBILE SHOWS THE COMMAND AS TAP-TO-SELECT TEXT rather than a copy button, on the Gear checklist and on Raids. A copy button on the phone would put the command on the phone's clipboard, which cannot reach the game running on your PC - so the phone tells you what to type and where to type it instead of offering a button that does nothing useful.
• GEAR LOCKER AND INVENTORY ARE ONE TAB NOW, called Inventory, with a "Group by bag" switch. They always read the same file - the /outputfile inventory dump - so two separate windows off one dump just made you guess which was the real one. Off, it ranks everything wearable you own within each slot and marks what's an upgrade over what you're wearing and what's outclassed by something else in your bags. On, it shows where each item actually is. Both windows are gone from the gear menu, and so is Gear & Loot itself - the card on the widget is the way in, same as Quests and Progress.
• ON WINDOWS FIRST: the Inventory tab is on Windows this release; Linux and macOS keep the separate Gear Locker and Inventory windows for now and get the tab next. Everything else in this list - the automatic imports, the copy button, the Wishlist rename, the wider window - is on all three today.
