  • feat(config): add tooltip to category list items in options screen
    When hovering over a category entry in the category options list,
    show a GameTooltip with the text:
    "Shift-click to move this category to the pinned category section"
    This re-adds the tooltip that was previously removed, ensuring users
    know about the shift-click pinning shortcut. The tooltip is shown via
    GameTooltip:SetOwner/SetText/Show in OnEnter, and hidden via
    GameTooltip:Hide in OnLeave. Header items are excluded (they already
    have no OnEnter/OnLeave handlers).

  • fix(config): correct GameTooltip:SetText alpha parameter in category list tooltip
    The tooltip was not displaying correctly because GameTooltip:SetText() has the
    signature SetText(text, r, g, b, alpha, textWrap), but the call was passing only
    5 arguments with true as the 5th argument. This caused true to be interpreted
    as the alpha value instead of the textWrap flag, meaning textWrap was absent
    (defaulted to false). With long tooltip text and no wrapping, the tooltip text
    overflowed off-screen and was effectively invisible.
    Fix: add the missing alpha=1 argument so textWrap=true is correctly passed as
    the 6th argument:
    GameTooltip:SetText(text, 1, 1, 1, 1, true)

    Automated commit generated by the Nanomite code tool.
    Prompt:
    The previous attempt to add a tooltip to the category list in BetterBags (PR #891) didn't work. The user reports no tooltip is appearing. Task: 1. Re-examine config/categorypane.lua and how the category list is implemented. 2. Check if the OnEnter and OnLeave handlers are actually being triggered on the correct frame. 3. Verify if GameTooltip is being used correctly in this context (e.g., is it being obscured, or is the frame not mouse-enabled?). 4. Fix the implementation so the toolt...

• feat(sorting): add Expansion sort option for items (#890)
  Add a new "Expansion" sort option to the Item Order dropdown, allowing
  users to sort items chronologically by the expansion they were introduced
  in (Classic -> TBC -> ... -> Midnight).
  Changes:
  • core/constants.lua:273: Add EXPANSION = 4 to ITEM_SORT_TYPE enum
  • config/config.lua:220-228: Add "Expansion" option to Item Order dropdown
    for both Backpack and Bank, mapping to const.ITEM_SORT_TYPE.EXPANSION
  • util/sort.lua:220-242: Implement SortItemsByExpansion function that:
    • Uses data.itemInfo.expacID for expansion ordering
    • Defaults to 0 (Classic) for items with missing expacID
    • Falls back to alphabetical sort when expansions are equal
    • Falls back to item count and GUID for stable sorting
  • util/sort.lua:61-76: Update GetItemSortFunction to return
    SortItemsByExpansion when EXPANSION sort type is selected
    The expansion ID is already populated by the WoW API via C_Item.GetItemInfo()
    and stored in itemInfo.expacID. Lower expansion IDs represent older content
    (0 = Classic, 11 = Midnight), providing chronological ordering.
    All luacheck validation passes with no warnings or errors.

• feat(ui): add item list support to search categories (#888)
  • feat(categories): add item list support to search categories
    Search categories can now have both a search query and a manually-added
    item list, allowing users to supplement query results with additional
    items.
    Changes:
  • config/categorypane.lua:
    • Added item list UI section to CreateSearchDetailPanel (similar to
      manual categories)
    • Repositioned Save/Rename/Delete buttons to bottom with divider
    • Added drag-and-drop support for adding items to search categories
    • Updated ShowSearchCategoryDetail to load item list on display
    • Item list label clarifies these are "Additional Items" to supplement
      the search query
  • data/categories.lua:
    • Removed blocking logic in AddItemToCategory that prevented items
      from being added to categories with searchCategory field (lines
      175-176 and 184-185)
    • Search categories can now accumulate items in their itemList just
      like manual categories
      How it works:
  1. Search query results are cached in items:RefreshSearchCache and
     looked up via searchCache[kind][slotkey]
  2. Manually added items are stored in category.itemList and found via
     categories:GetCustomCategory
  3. When an item matches both the search query AND is in the itemList,
     the priority system determines which takes precedence (both will
     return the same category name, so priority comparison is consistent)
  4. The UI now exposes the item list for search categories, making the
     dual-matching behavior accessible to users
     Technical details:
  • The items module already supported this pattern - it checks both
    searchCache and GetCustomCategory, comparing priorities when both
    match
  • SaveSearchCategory already preserved itemList via "itemList =
    filter.itemList or {}" (line 801)
  • The blocking logic was the only thing preventing this feature from
    working

  • fix(config): display item list for search categories in Category Pane
    The Category Pane's "Additional Items" list was not displaying for search
    categories, even when items had been manually added. This was because the
    LoadItemList function was hardcoded to only update the manualDetail.itemListFrame,
    ignoring the searchDetail.itemListFrame that search categories use.
    Changes made:
  1. Modified LoadItemList() to detect which detail panel is currently active
     (searchDetail or manualDetail) and update the correct item list frame
     accordingly. This allows both manual categories and search categories to
     display their item lists properly.
  2. Updated the bags/Draw event handler to refresh the item list when EITHER
     a manual category OR a search category is selected, ensuring that items
     added via drag-and-drop appear immediately in the UI for both category types.
     The item list UI elements (frames, drag-and-drop handlers) were already present
     in the searchDetail panel, and the ShowSearchCategoryDetail() function was
     already calling LoadItemList(). The issue was purely that LoadItemList() was
     not routing to the correct frame for search categories.
     Fixes the "Additional Items" list display for search categories.

• feat(ci): add luacheck GitHub Action workflow (#887)
  • feat(ci): add luacheck GitHub Action workflow
    Add automated luacheck validation on all pull requests to the main branch.
    This workflow:
  • Runs on every pull request targeting the main branch
  • Installs Lua 5.1 and LuaRocks using official GitHub Actions
  • Installs luacheck via LuaRocks
  • Executes luacheck on the entire repository
  • Respects the existing .luacheckrc configuration
  • Fails the PR check if luacheck finds any issues
    This ensures code quality standards are maintained and catches Lua
    syntax errors, undefined globals, and other issues before merging.
    Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 noreply@anthropic.com
  • chore: exclude .luarocks directory from luacheck
    Updated .luacheckrc to ignore the .luarocks directory, which contains
    installed LuaRocks dependencies. This prevents luacheck from linting
    third-party code and improves performance.

  • CalculateColums - ensure there are no extra columns
• feat(categories): add priority support for item list based categories (#886)
  • feat(categories): add priority support for item list based categories
    Implements priority-based category selection for item list categories,
    allowing them to compete with search categories based on configurable
    priority values. This resolves GitHub issue #884.

  Changes

• UI Layer (config/categorypane.lua)
  • Added priority input field (0-99) to manual category detail panel
  • Updated ShowManualCategoryDetail to populate priority field from category data
  • Updated SaveManualCategory to save priority field when category is saved
  • Modified category list display to show priority for all categories (not just search)
  • Changed note display logic to show priority for both search and item list categories
• Data Layer (data/categories.lua)
  • Updated GetCustomCategory to return both category name AND priority
  • Modified return type from string|nil to string|nil, number|nil
