Troubleshooting
Lots of things can go wrong, but one of the most common is people having problems with Outfitter not working at all. Crazy stuff like tons of errors (if errors are enabled), or it won't change outfits, or the UI is a train wreck. This happens pretty much for one reason: Outfitter was updated while WoW was still running. Just restart WoW all the way from the desktop (not just from login) and it'll be happy again.
Why? Addons have a file called the Table of Contents which describes how WoW should load and start the addon. The problem is that WoW copies the ToC file into memory at startup and will never update it again as long as WoW is still running. If an addon update has changes to the ToC then WoW won't see those changes if it's still running while you update. Those changes to the ToC may include critical things like new files to be loaded. Without those files the addon likely can't even initialize itself correctly resulting in all those errors, mangled UI, etc.
Reporting Bugs
Feel free to report bugs in the comments section at the bottom of this page, but please don't paste in your bug/crash logs. Those logs are very large since they usually include the list of every addon you're running and that makes the post take a huge amount of screen space in the comments section. That, in turn, makes it very difficult for me to find previous questions and bug reports. Crash dumps are great and extremely useful, but please post them into a CurseForge ticket and then refer to that ticket in your comment so I know where to find it. Thanks!
About Outfitter
Outfitter is an equipment management addon which gives you fast access to multiple outfits to optimize your abilities in PvE and PvP, automated equip and unequip for convenience doing a variety of activities, or to enhance role-playing.
Outfitter includes an icon bar for fast access to your outfits, a minimap menu for fast compact access, support for LibDataBroker, scripting with a library of pre-made scripts for most common tasks, item comparisons across outfits, and more.
Outfitter can also generate outfits for you, optimized for a specific combination of stats you specify or using Pawn weights (must have Pawn installed).
Here is an error that I'm getting lately
85x Outfitter\OutfitterInventory.lua:357: attempt to compare number with nil

Is it possible to delete outfits or accessories?

not in this one.. but the shadowlands fix
Hi everyone, I'm not playing WoW any longer but I saw that there's a fan-fix update and thought I should update Outfitter's license to something permissive. I've changed it to the MIT license so people can feel free to create their own new versions. Best wishes, - John

In reply to mundocani:

Opened the interface and clicked the drop down arrow to access menu for an outfit.

MC2UIElementsLib.lua is a linked Library to Mundocani, had to break that link by uploading from local, not a fork.
Here is the diff: https://github.com/MrMime71/Outfitter/commit/33a21bf2954fb6329ff3569768606a2aaab25734
Just now i treid to call John Stephen regarding this addon to get an approve to carry on his excellent work on this addon, but i got an answering machine.. lets hope he call me back
In reply to CoreMeeko2:

In reply to Pendelhaven:
thank you.. i'm in the process of making a fan update of this one with credits to all participants including Mundocani (the original creator)
i post the link once its approved :-)
I was wondering if it is possible to add a function for the cooking script to equip the Chef's Hat when opening the Cooking Skill.
In reply to sargon_starblade1791:
cant you just make an outfit (click for just the hat) with that hat and set the script to "cooking"?
In reply to sargon_starblade1791:
You can't add it to the addon because the Hat is now a Toy and it's use is restricted. My work-around was to create a macro button for cooking:
#showtooltip Chef's Hat
/use [noflying] Chef's Hat
/cast Cooking
I killed myself a few times before adding the "noflying". Hope this helps.
Request:
Is anybody able to do a little Change of the Outfitter Button?
Could anybody remove the default border of the Outfitter Button in the Amory Window and do it a little like ElvUI Style?
