ItemWatch v2.1.4

ItemWatch v2.1.4

Ever farmed for a mount, achievement, or crafting mats and needed to track
an exact item count without constantly popping open your bags? ItemWatch
gives you a tidy, movable box that tracks any items you choose — drag them
in, set a goal, and get a ding the moment you hit it.

A Couple of Realtime Examples

• Grinding for the Giant Dinosaur bones to get the Spectral Porcupette
  (999 bones) or the Reins of the Bone-White Primal Raptor (9,999 bones)?
  That's a lot of 'defeat 20 dinos, stop, check bags, lather-rinse-repeat.'
• Fishing for Strange Goop and don't have any yet? Click the "+" on the
  box, paste the Wowhead link, set a goal of 1, and keep fishing until
  ItemWatch tells you it's in the bag.
• Whether it's ONE item or 9,999 items, ItemWatch has got you, fam!

Features

• Drag-and-drop tracking onto the box, or use /iw commands — either way
  works, and drag-and-drop isn't required
• Quick-Add popup for items you don't have yet — paste a Wowhead link,
  type an item ID, or shift-click an item to fill it automatically
• Per-item goals with their own custom sound (or silence), including a
  few fun presets — Commander Ulthok, Cat Meow, Aquatic Form Burp, and a
  small Brann Bronzebeard easter egg section
• Shift-click a tracked icon to link it in chat, Ctrl-click to preview
  equippable gear, same as your bags
• Character-specific, real-time bags-only tracking — no bank or warbank,
  so the number you see is always exactly accurate
• Movable, resizable, lockable box with Blizzard Edit Mode support
• Combat / pet battle / minimap button visibility toggles
• Minimap button, fully compatible with tray addons (ElvUI, Dominos,
  Bartender4, MBB, SexyMap, etc.)
• In-game documentation under the settings panel's expandable "+" —
  Helpful Information, Practical Uses, Contact/Support, and About
• Escape closes any ItemWatch popup in one press
• Shows the Silver/Gold reagent quality badge on tracked crafting
  materials, matching what you see elsewhere in WoW's UI
• Lightweight — event-driven, no unnecessary polling

Changelog

v2.1.4

• Updated: Interface version bumped for patch 12.1.0 (Curse of Ula'tek)
• Fixed: a rare false "goal reached" ding could fire during zone
  transitions (hearthing, portals, loading screens) if bag data
  happened to misread briefly at that moment - a single low reading is
  no longer enough to reset an already-earned goal, it now needs to see
  it twice in a row before treating it as real

v2.1.3

• Fixed: goals already met in a previous session could replay their
  "goal reached" ding on login - the very first bag check on login could
  read stale data and incorrectly reset an already-earned goal, causing
  it to re-trigger once real bag data loaded
• Fixed: saving an item's edit popup could play a false "goal reached"
  ding if the goal you set was already satisfied - editing settings no
  longer triggers a sound; only a genuinely new completion during actual
  gameplay does
• Swapped: "Brann - Fantastic!" retired (the sound file stopped working
  on Blizzard's end) for a new line, "Brann - Time to go all out!"

v2.1.2

• New: Lock/unlock toggle button on the box's title bar, next to the
  "+" - shows the current lock state at a glance and stays in sync with
  /iw lock and /iw unlock either way you toggle it.

v2.1.1

• New: Tracked crafting reagents now show their Silver/Gold quality
  badge on the icon in the box, matching what you already see on them
  elsewhere in WoW's UI (bags, crafting window). Only shows on items
  that actually have a reagent quality - most tracked items won't.

v2.1.0

• New: Sound presets added - Commander Ulthok, Cat Meow, Aquatic Form
  Burp, and a Brann Bronzebeard easter egg section
• New: In-game documentation pages under the settings panel's expandable
  "+" - Helpful Information, Practical Uses, Contact/Support, and About
• Fixed: options panel now properly scrolls, so every setting is
  reachable regardless of list length
• Fixed: large goal numbers (e.g. 9999) no longer get visually cut off
  on tracked item icons - progress now shows on hover in the tooltip
  instead, which also now clearly labels itself "ItemWatch"
• Fixed: a per-item sound choice could fail to stick after reopening
  that item's edit popup - now saves and reloads correctly
• Fixed: two sound presets were linked to an outdated playback function
  and played nothing - now use the correct current API
• Improved: clearer wording throughout, more consistent color scheme,
  better spacing across every popup and panel

v2.0.0

• New: Item Box — a movable, resizable container for all tracked items,
  replacing the old scattered-frames layout
• New: Drag-and-drop tracking, Quick-Add popup, and per-item edit popup
• New: Per-item custom "goal reached" sounds, including a mute option
• New: Shift-click to link, Ctrl-click to preview equippable gear
• New: Blizzard Edit Mode support, combat/pet battle auto-hide toggles
• New: Minimap button with tray-addon compatibility
• New: Escape key closes ItemWatch popups in one press
• All existing /iw commands remain fully functional and unchanged
