There's a very robust filter option for searching the AH or filtering items to sort into groups, but apart from the tooltip there's no easy reference for what actually works with the filtering. Currently, you can create custom searches on the AH and copy-paste it over to the filter in the group menu, but this both relies on actively being at an AH while managing groups and does not always result in a valid filter.
A few examples:
- Searching for "/Weapon/One-Handed Swords" works on the AH, but causes an invalid filter error in Groups. This also appears to be the case for all weapon types that are both 1H and 2H. It's unclear whether that's a bug in the addon or if there's an alternate formatting of the filter that would actually work.
- There's no clear way how you'd filter only to items held in the off-hand unless you dig pretty far into the custom searches - they end up being lumped into "/Armor/Miscellaneous" with all jewelry and various pieces of gear without armor types. If you want to dig deeper, "Armor/Off-hand" "Armor/Off-hands" "Armor/Offhand" and "Armor/Offhands" are all invalid and I still haven't found what actually works for it!
- At the very least, it'd help clear out ambiguity; "Armor/Shield" is invalid but "Armor/Shields" is correct but "Armor/Trinkets" is invalid while "Armor/Trinket" is correct.

Creating something to reference against would help in all the above cases, and on top of that would help disambiguate whether the problems people are hitting are their own or a problem with the addon itself.

Basically what I would like is a way to remind myself to restock items of a certain group. It can be a toggle option not to distract people that don't need it.

Let's say you want to have certain groups of items always on sale but keeping a lot of backup items can be space inefficient (vendor recipes, shirts). Sometimes you can miss that you had a sale of such item and don't have it posted until you do a full revision. I understand that this can be deduced browsing sales in Accounting module but if you are dealing with a lot of items with varying quantity it can take some time.

It would be great if users were able to use custom soundfiles in addition to the predefined ones for alerts.

The easiest way to do this in my opinion would be to add 3-5 dummy soundfiles named ""custom1.mp3", "custom2.mp3", etc. to the Media folder that already contains the cashregister.mp3 soundfile and to allow users to select any of these soundfiles in the dropdown menus for alerts ingame.

A user could then simply replace one or multiple of those dummy soundfiles with their own custom soundfile(s) using the same filenames as the dummy soundfiles.

The only issue I can see with this approach would be that I think this would cause the addon to get marked as "Modified" in the twitch client, which could lead to some people not always keeping their addon up to date.

If that's an issue, maybe the soundfiles could be placed within the AppHelper addon, since that one gets modified by the TSM app anyways when its loads the pricing data into it.

A much nicer solution, which would be a lot more work to implement, would be if this was added to the tsm desktop app, so that people can import / manage their custom sounds from within the app.

This would also greatly reduce the risk of user-error.

PS: Nothing beats having a soundfile of Mr. Burns (Simpsons) saying "Excellent!" play whenever a deal pops up in sniper :)

One of the most difficult things to grasp I find when using TSM is both understanding which variables are available for each operation type and the correct way to input/nest the formulae to create the correct operation syntax to arrive at the desired end result. A pick list, (this could be just a dot that you click into into a panel) resulting in the automation of the actual syntax itself would make it much easier. As you ticked each variable that you want to use this would create the correct input syntax in the relevant field and in turn bring the next set of usable variables available to select for that operation type. For example ; An Auctioning operation: How do you wish to value item? eg: dbmarket, Do you want to further check the value? DBhistorical or region average, check vendor sell, check cost of materials, profit required 9%. An intuitive input screen with a mouseover explanation of the variable would make it so much easier for those that have never been faced with inputting computer syntax/formulae or a definitive understanding of the maths behind them. It is easy when you know how to write them and an overwhelming nightmare if you do not. I think it would help enormously for new players and reduce the time required for building the operations for others maybe.

1. What shortfall are you trying to solve in the current functionality of the addon?

Improve user experience in both the app & addon for any features involving realms. Currently (it seems) that they are sorted by when the first character was created on that realm. I believe it should be alphabetical in both the app, as well as any Operations of Settings involving realms.

2. What new functionality do you hope to attain with the addition of this feature?

Aside from the sorting alphabetically, if I were to request any "new" features that would also benefit from this, I would also like to see an option within Operations to *whitelist* specific Faction & Realm combos or Characters instead of just blacklisting them, and potentially for the app, an "Export All" or multi-realm export option (instead of a drop down menu, make it a multi-select input).

3. How would you or others use this feature? (perhaps the most important question - please provide SPECIFIC use-cases)

I think that sorting Realms alphabetically would just improve the experience of new and old users both in the cases of exporting Accounting Data from the app, and in the case of blacklisting (or whitelisting, if it is added) Faction & Realm combos or Characters.

In the use case of exporting accounting data, even with the current UI setup, it would greatly improve my experience to just go down a list of alphabetically sorted realms and export the ones I know I need to, versus how I currently have to do it, hunting down a list and thinking "Okay, I just created characters on realms X, Y, and Z, so they should be at the bottom..." but sometimes I had a character on that realm a while ago, and forgot about it/deleted it, but the realm it still "out of place" so to speak.

In the use case of Operations, again, even if a whitelist option is not added, I use certain "discount" Operations on realms I am branching out on to get initial capital, and blacklist that Operation on the realms I am "set" on, leaving my default. Again, it wouldn't be so bad to blacklist Faction & Realm combos or Characters if the Realms were sorted alphabetically.

I know this would be a lot of work, but I would find it very useful.

I wish there was a way to use TSM data to determine what a legacy raid/dungeon would provide.

There could be a window that you could open up that would sort old raids/dungeons based on expected return values. It would calculate the average gold you’d get from drops/trash items/BOEs/BOPs, DE value for items where the DE value is greater than the vendor value, and current sales for BoE rares/epics. Just like shopping and auction, you’d have options that would best fit your style of farming (ie selling green mog items instead of vedoring).

The value would break down into a couple categories. Raw gold from drops/vendor items, and expected return from items you’d post on the AH.

That way you can easily see what the most efficient places to farm would be based on the current economy of your cluster.
