Broker EquipSwitch Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

What is this?
Broker: EquipSwitch is an Addon using the LibDataBroker Data Display Specifications.

Quote:

Data display addons provide a LDB “feed” for an always-up addon to display. These addons can be thought of like RSS feeds, where the display addon is similar to an RSS reader. Display addons could include FuBar, Titan Panel, StatBlocks, LegoBlocks, or any other design out there.

What does it do?
With the PTR Patch 3.1.0 Blizzard introduced a new feature, the Equipemt Manager. It was pulled back for the release of 3.1.0 but released shortly after, in a minor content patch.
This Addon tries to increase the accessibility by providing means to switch predefined equipment sets by just a few clicks.

Features:
- Shows currently used Equipment Set with icon and text
- Shows a list of all defined Equipment Sets with icon and text
- Clicking a Set will equip it, in combat swaping is provided by Blizzard
- Right clicking the plugin will open the Blizzard GearManager

Broker: EquipSwitch also comes with Broker: EquipSwitchUI.
It is a small display addon that provides a minimap button, it's completly optional.
If you don't have a display addon, maybe this is just for you!
If you don't want a minimap button, don't load Broker: EquipSwitchUI or delete the folder manually.

What it won't do
This addon will not allow you to add, edit or delete equipment sets.
Use the Blizzard UI for this, it's a one-time task anyway.

Feature request are welcome, but don't hold your breath for it.

Some Display Addons
There are some nice display addons, for a list see http://wiki.github.com/tekkub/libdat...dons-using-ldb

Well yes, that is one way of getting rid of the minimapicon. I've mentioned it in the addon description:

Try 1.4.1 and see if that fixes this error.
If a character did not have a previously saved set, this could happen.

Is there any way we could get a simple option to turn off/on the icon?

I don't have a single other LDB addon that shows a minimap icon (that I can't turn off).

In you character selection screen, press the "Addons" button at the bottom.
Untick the Addon "Broker_EquipSwitchUI" to not load it (for a specific character of for all) and you're done.

As long as WUU does not automatically turns on every addon it updates, this should work just fine.

Hm, good idea. I'll have a look at it later.

Anyway, a check for a guy holding 2 2-handers, then unequipping the offhand prior to putting something in the mainhand would be nice, but once again, I realize that may be beyond the scope for this project.

edit: to clarify, the bug is on the blizzard side of the house, not in this addon.

A valid request. But as you correctly assumed it's beyond what I want this addon to be: A frontend to the Blizzard Equipment Manager for LDB displays (or its own as a button at the minimap).
As anoying as it can be, this is a bug that should be fixed in the implementation from Blizzard.
I'm sorry but I have to decline this requst.

Thanks for your help, but could you please upload it as a ziped textfile?
Copy&Paste from the webpage does not work for me when using a different character encoding than my default ISO-8859.
I don't know if the copied text would display correctly for you ingame.

Fairly often when levelling.

However I do see your point.

Fair enough, but it can be annoying to hit stealth, have it broken and then find out part way through the fight that your dagger hasn't swapped back. Still, it is something that I can work around.
