Addon Update: Fixing LSW and UCQ

I'm a big fan of LilSparkysWorkshop. As it's own tool, it's somewhat interesting. It really shines in conjunction with UCQ, the Ultimate Craft Queue. You can use UCQ to effectively issue a one-button command that says, "please queue whatever glyphs are needed to craft (in skillet) so that I have 4 of every glyph I can make that sells for 3g or more". That's a really handy button to be able to press. Read up on UCQ for details on how to work it, but I've noticed a few quirks in things.

First: LSW doesn't play nice with AuctionLite. I use AuctionLite for its mass-buyout capabilities; you can shift-click a LOT of auctions and buy them with one button-press. Saves a lot of time. Unfortunately, if LSW detects AuctionLite, it tries to pull pricing data from AL instead of Auctioneer, which doesn't work if you're not also scanning the AH with AuctionLite (which I don't, as it's an extra button press that serves me no purpose). Took me a while to figure this out, but if you go into the LSW addon folder and delete pricingSupport/auctionLite_support.lua, it starts working again. As an aside, kudos to lilsparky for making a pretty clever modularized auction compatibility system. Using callbacks on function objects is pretty neat. Anyway.

Second: UCQ doesn't seem to work right the first time. I don't know why, but the first time I hit the "create queue" button, it decides there's no Auctioneer data present. Instead of erroring out, it will ignore the threshold request and craft EVERY glyph you can make. That's kind of a bummer if you don't notice (which happened to me once). Check on the log tab, scroll to the top and see if you have a red line saying "Auctioneer not found". What works for me in this case is clearing my queue from skillet and just pressing the "create queue" button a second time. Always works a second time.

Those two little fixes have made my life a lot easier. Together, they mean I can:

• Buy out arbitrarily large numbers of herbs with one button press (AuctionLite)
• Open all my mail with one button press (QuickAuctions3)
• Automatically queue any profitable glyphs for crafting (UCQ/LSW)
• Buy the appropriate parchment and ink from the traders in Dalaran (Skillet)
• Post all my glyphs at auction with the appropriate pricing scheme (QuickAuctions3)

If one of these addons would just do all my milling for me, my life would be complete. I'm happy that they reduced the mill-time from 2 sec to 1 sec, but you still have to press that "mill" button a couple hundred times, which gets tedious.
