ArkInventory (for both Retail and Classic WoW)
Shadowlands support is enabled in version 3.09.31 onwards
You can copy your savedvariables file from retail to beta to transfer your current settings.
The steaming pile that is twitch
* Sorry, i have no idea what version twitch will give you at the moment
* twitch may (lets face it, it will) have issues seeing these latest versions as retail (live), and classic compatible, you can download them manually if required, they will work for classic, and retail (live, ptr, and beta)
* if arkinventory doesnt work at all then then twitch has probably downloaded the nolib version for you, just because, so right click on arkinventory > install settings > install libraries separately < untick that option, then download the normal version. either that or its screwed it up completely, in which case you're better off deleting arkinventory (use twitch or it just makes it worse - but make sure you backup your savedvariables file first as it most likely delete that even if youve disabled that option), then reinstall via twitch (and hope it works this time)
try the new curseforge overwolf client instead, it cant be any worse
Alpha / Beta Versions: Ensure you make a backup copy of your saved variables file
Sometimes you cannot revert back to a previous version without a backup so before installing any alpha/beta version please make sure you have made a backup of your saved variable file
Your saved variable file is normally located in ...\World of Warcraft\_client_\WTF\Account\yourwowaccountname\SavedVariables\ArkInventory.lua
If you have twitch set to automatically download alpha/beta versions then it is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate backups of your saved variables file - do not complain if you lose your configuration or it gets screwed up because of an alpha/beta version, its always a possibility so you need to be prepared.
A simple way to back it up is to just do a copy and paste then rename the new file (using the version number of ArkInventory or the date is a good idea), eg ArkInventory-3-09-00.lua, or ArkInventory-2019-12-28.lua

If you are having an issue then the first step is to disable all other mods and just test ArkInventory by itself
If the issue is still there then please check for an existing issue and lodge a new ticket if required.
If the issue is gone then re-enable your other mods one by one until the issue comes back, then report that to me as well as the other mods author
When posting a comment about an error please do not include the list of addons or really long traces, just the actual error message is fine. If I need more I'll ask you for it.
ArkInventory's display windows are built from "virtual bars", you assign categories to bars so that items in that category are displayed on the specific bars you want. There is no limit to the number of bars you can have inside a window but obviously you only have so much screen real estate before it becomes "too many".
ArkInventory uses several methods to assign a default category to an item such as what professions you have, tooltip scanning, basic type/subtype and PeriodicTable. You then assign those categories to a virtual bar.
You can also over-ride the default category by creating a rule that matches either a single or multiple items.
Overview:
- user configurable window width and height
- separate keybindings for each location for easy viewing
- assign items to a category of your choice (overrides the default assignment)
- assign categories to the bar of your choice
- unlimited number of bars (there are practical limits though before your screen becomes full)
- sort each bar differently if required
- user configurable bars per row
Key Bindings:
Press ESCAPE to bring up the blizzard menu
click on Key Bindings
scroll down to ArkInventory
bind the keys you want to use

Thank you for keeping this add-on going and for the explanation of why it might not work for Shadowlands 9.0.2. It was the "nolib" version that was being pushed out by Twitch. Unchecked the "Install Libraries separately" and that fixed it. For those who use ElvUi, make sure you disable the bag portion of the UI.
Used this addon for years. Switched to others for a bit, realized what I was missing and came running back. I've enjoyed re-learning ArkInventory, setting up new rules, adding new sorting methods, etc.
Is there a way to disable the Login messages? I've gone to Genera>Profiles>Controls and disabled all the "Notify" options. Rule Registration, Translations, and Outfitter are a bit spammy for me though and I can't find a way to disable them.
Edit: While I'm here, is there a way to move the "Default" bag to something other than your Anchor? I anchor Bottom Right w/ 5 Bars per row and would like to use Bar 2 as the default bar so I can use Bar 1 as my Outfits bar. Not really world-ending but it'd be good to know.
After updating to the newest release of ArkInventory, I get two erros, and it won't load:
and
the first one its trying to load the Blizzard_GuildBankUI addon and failing, presumably it took too long.
do you have anything that plays with the guild bank interface?
do you get the issue when just arkinventory is loaded?
the second one looks like the back-end libraries timing out from the first error
In reply to Arkayenro:
Teh only thing i have that does anything with the UI is elvui and I've had that for yeas. before the shadowlands prepatch stuff came out, it worked fine. it even started working again not too long ago after the first issue i was having that you had to fix. now it's acting up again. and yes, it even does that with only arkinventory enabled.
i installed elvui 12.13 and im not getting any errors, what if you disable elvui? does arkinventory have any issues?
In reply to Arkayenro:
This is the error I just grabbed right as i logged in, there might be more...
In reply to Arkayenro:
In reply to TheZeldrak:
Here's another...
thats essentially the same issue, its just trying to load my config addon
try disabling tomtom, it seems to be using 1.0.7 of the callbackhandler, i have 1.0.6
someone also having an issue disabled tiny plate widgets and it worked again
In reply to Arkayenro:
I disabled TomTom (and all things related), then cleared out the BugSack addon to ensure I'm not just double posting errors, and only two errors popped up in BugSack for Ark, and they are as follows:
and
For some strange reason, it worked on my demon hunter until I had to reload the UI, then it stopped working.
In reply to TheZeldrak:
Just FYI.
I recently deleted ark in order to fix a sorting issue. Upon reinstall it kicked out the error referring to
and various repeats of this error.
I added Ace3 standalone and this corrected the issue.
The filename in curse does say it has no lib. ArkInventory-3.09.45-nolib.zip
hope this helps

In reply to KeilMe:
Thanks for offering a possible solution, however after downloading ACE3 and also tryin gto uninstall Ark and reinstall it, the same issue occurs. When I open my bags, they still show as the default ElvUI-ish looking bags (and yes, I have ElvUI's bags disabled through /ec > bags > disable) Since shadowlands I have only gotten Ark to work ONCE, and that was with my DH, but upon logging out and back in, the issue started happening on the DH as well.
no idea, all i can say is that arkinventory has no issues loading and running in shadowlands.
as i mentioned before, i loaded elvui and had no issues but i didnt change any settings, just used the defaults. did you try it without elvui?
perhaps backup your elvui saved variables file and then delete it so you start that from scratch and see if the issue is still there
Hello, I love your addon, thank you for your work.
There is a conflict with the addon "Blizzmove ", for some reason I can't explain, arkinventory is blocking my collection window; I took a while to realize it.More once installed even if i disable the addon this window gets stuck. The only solution I have found to fix this is to delete the WTF and addons folder, then
reinstall the addons, along with the options, outside of arkinventory. Is there a solution to fix it?
PS: Sorry for my english :)
blocking in what way?
ai will check if the collection window is open, specifically the pet tab, but it doesnt overly care if it is or not and doesnt try to override it.
do you get any errors?
In reply to Arkayenro:
"Blizzmove" allows me to move the windows of the interface, but when I activate "AI" I can no longer move the window of my collectionis there a newer version of blizzmove? i downloaded it and im not having any issues moving the collection window around
edit - i also had chocolatebar loaded, when i turn that off then the frame no longer moves, turn it on and it can be moved.
theres something wrong somewhere but seeing as all i do is load the collection addon (so the frame exists) then the blizzmove authors need to take a look at why it can no longer move the frame.
Seems as though each time WoW patches/updates this poor addon ceases to function. Hope it gets updated quickly. I can't stand the other bag addons. No idea what's caused it as there are no ArkInventory bugs in Bugsack after Oct 31st. I will keep an eye and hopefully catch what's causing it tno to work.
in what ay doesnt it work? im not having any issues with it
In reply to Arkayenro:
For me, whwever there's an update to wow adn I update all myaddons (arkinventory included) my bags never work anymore. The crappy blizzard default bags open. And yes, I have arkinventory enabled in my addons.
