A simple way to track newly obtained items for easier vendoring/disposal

Description

For changelog see bottom of description

TL;DR - Tracks your newly obtained items, right click minimap button to show them, then you can vendor them more easily (i.e. after a transmog run)

 

Have you ever been in a situation where you run an old raid (say, Icecrown Citadel) and then after once again not getting the mount you want, find your bags filled with old boss drops - but because your bags are already filled with other items, you need to carefully check each item before vendoring it, to make sure you dont accidentally vendor something out of your speed set, or some cool transmog you were saving for your friend?

 

Well, this minimalistic addon aims to solve that.

 

What does it do? It starts in inactive state, and can be activated with a minimap button. Once activated, it will track all items you loot, and display them (you can show the window with a right click on the button) in a neat little list. This list is fully interactable - meaning you can use it to vendor stuff, disenchant it, ctrl+click to preview, etc. It can also be auto-opened whenever you interact with a vendor.

 

This way you can be sure that anything in this list was obtained since you started tracking - meaning you can just vendor without having to worry about WHAT you're vendoring.


Furthermore, it features a BOE toggle, allowing you to hide from this list any BOE items of green+, blue+ or epic+ quality (so you can auction them off later if you so desire. No risk of accidentally vendoring Pendulum of Doom!)

 

/nt or /newtrash is the main command, and will bring up the rest  of available commands. 

 

The main way to control it is via the minimap button (left click to activate/deactivate, right click to open/close window). There's also additional settings in the interface menu.

 

By default the addon will clear its memory whenever you do a /reload (but NOT when you have a loading screen - so if you want to run multiple raids in a row, you can keep your list going if you desire). You can change this behavior via settings if you want.

 

 

Currently button's position near minimap can be weird, because Blizzard's default minimap LUA is broken. Not much i can do about it until that's fixed. 

 

Changelog:

 

v1.2.4 - Minor update

-Added option (enabled by default) to hide Quest Items from the list

V1.2.3 - Major update. 

-Due to popular requests, removed "click to reset" functionality from minimap button. The only way to reset is now via the UI window (to avoid accidental resets)
-Added option to start addon in active mode upon login

-Items now have colored border based on rarity

-Major: Item data is now stored in a local db, which means it will persist across reloads and logouts. Previously i was caching it in RAM for simplicity, which had downsides of deleting the list every time you restarted the client or reloaded UI. Now you can keep your trash list between sessions

-Known issue: "new glow" resets upon reload/relog. This stems from blizzard's new item API not being great, i've tried to duct tape a fix but havent managed to get it to work yet.
