sykopat A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 28 Uploads: 0	Thank you for the fast reply. Aah, it's working now. I was just briefly testing the addon and wasn't moving anything. How come the tooltip is always up to date and the other text isn't? Also today I noticed a different bug. I have disabled all the icon text (bag, bank, and gbank) and just use the tooltip, but today I noticed it was gone. Tried typing /age tooltip to no avail. However enabeling bag icon text got it back, but now the age is at 1sec and counting again. Seem that if you disable all the icon text the database is deleted or is it just because I haven't played in a while? It's ok to remove entries that I have gotten rid of a while ago, but it's a shame if the database is deleted just because I take a break from the game. Looking at some older items i my bags I see I might have been mistaken, they still have their age. It seems to me that new items are not added to the database if icon text is disabled, it will immediately be added however when it is enabled, but as new items. Items in unsupported slots like your equipped items will only get an age if icon text is on and they are moved to a supported slot like the bags. It will retain age info if moved back. It's a nice addon, but seems to have the following weaknesses at the moment: * Item's acquired/discovered while icon text is off are not added to the dbase. This also raises the question if the counter starts when the item first is added or when the bags are first opened after the item is acquired, not too important though. * Equipped items have no age if they are acquired before the addon was installed. * It would also be nice if the icon text was also up to date, but this won't matter as much as the item gets older and the age doesn't change so often. Keep up the good work. Last edited by sykopat : 04-16-10 at 06:52 AM.

That is because some other addon is forcing an update of the tooltip. ItemAge just hooks in to the tooltip-update. That means it will update whenever something else updates it. With no other addons installed, it would then update every time it is displayed.

This definitely sounds like a bug. If you are using the last version, it should not delete in that manner. The only way I can think of that will do that is if you have had a break for more than 100 days with a quite a bit older version of ItemAge, and then start playing again and upgrade to the last version. That would delete all items older than 100 days due to a bug that was present earlier.

This is how ItemAge deletes items from the database:
1. Item must have been located in your bags the last time it was seen.
2. If so, it will be checked for the time of its last appearance. Not how old it is, but how long since last time iot was seen.
3. If it was in your bags, and hasn't been seen for 100 days, then it is deleted. That means that any item you wear, have in your guild-bank or regular bank will not be deleted however old it is.

Thank you for thorough testing. This is very good info, and it should be enough for me to find the bug.

I will check into this.

True. I'm not so sure I will do anything about it, really. I'll give it some thought.

I don't think I will implement that. As of now, ItemAge is fairly easy to run for the computer, and the gain for such a feature would just not be worth it with regard to the impact on performance.
But after all, only the first minute will be very visible. An hour later it is invisible.

Hopefully, the new version 0.12 fixes your problem.

There most definitely is. I've been preoccupied with some other RL-things lately, but a WoW4 version is coming shortly.
