・Thanks Odysseus68 for frames anchor coding improvement.
"FishingBuddy" was a great addon, and we've used it since the first day of World of Warcraft. We collected a lot of valuable fishing data with it. However, it stopped working, and there are no more updates since 2024. I assume it won't come back, so I'm trying my best to preserve the data.
Tip:
1.-- For showing the correct Fishing Skill expansion names, you must open the "Fishing Journal" panel manually. Because the API for calling the panel is blocked by Blizzard.
2.-- Also, better talk to NPC Mahra Treebender (58, 55) in Valdrakken or Dornogal to configure profession gear visibility to only show when actively fishing. Otherwise the main frame will keep showing up when finised fishing.
3.-- Type /reload once, after re-scaling or re-located the frames.

How to Use New Function "/ft convert" - For convert "FishingBuddy" data to "FishingTracker" format.

3) LOAD up both "FishingBuddy" & "FishingTracker" addons.
