accidental sell protection

[selax1]

What will your feature request solve?

Not sure it's anything to do with the Bagshui addon, but three times now since I've been using it I've accidentally sold valuable items without realizing it until later. Might be a fluke, but this never happened before using the addon. GM's had to restore the items (but lost my enchants). Not sure if it's possible, but would be great if you could mark your valuable gear as "saved" or something so that it would ask for confirmation before you can sell it.

Describe the solution you'd like

Enter edit mode and mark items you want to protect (maybe with an alt+shift click or something else that isn't currently used by the addon). Then these items wouldn't be able to be sold without a confirmation dialog (like a "are you sure you want to sell this?" message box).

Describe alternatives you've considered

alternatively maybe just one button you can toggle on and off to force a sell confirmation dialog on all items? (or maybe on anything over rare item quality) Then if you want to sell anything without a confirmation, you have to toggle the switch off maybe?

Great idea! By default, I think I would set it up to protect gear you’ve equipped and maybe active quest items, with an option to enable a rarity threshold. Would that make sense?

(I’m also taking a close look to see if there’s any chance the right-click sell could ever target the wrong item slot, just in case there’s something I’ve missed.)

You could automatically protect any soulbound items, but most people equip trash green and blue items for tmog before selling, so that might get annoying. I'm guessing you'd want any feature like this to be as unobtrusive as possible. A rarity threshold and automatically protecting active quest items would be a good idea, but some blue items are trash and some are pretty valuable (Ony Cloak, Annihilator, etc) Maybe you could have the option to mark specific categories as protected (as well as individual items)?.

Absolutely! I've been thinking along the lines of requiring a right-click and then a control+right-click to confirm (or something like that) in lieu of a dialog, since it does need to be quick to confirm.

By keeping the confirmation process quick, I'm hoping to avoid extensive customization of this feature, at least for a first pass. This would allow me to implement it much more quickly and then refine if needed.

The options and defaults for the initial implementation would probably look something like this (qualities would be colored in addition to the names, and selecting a quality automatically would select it and everything greater):

Protect

• Active Quest
• Soulbound
• Equipped

Quality

• Legendary
• Epic
• Rare
• Uncommon
• Common

Does that all make sense?

Yep, sounds great. Excited to see it in action.

Regarding my comment about right-click sell accidentally targeting the wrong item slot, please update to 1.4+ which should almost definitely eliminate any chance of that happening. I hope that Bagshui wasn't the cause of your troubles, and I apologize if it was! (If you're curious about why this could have occurred, I've provided way more detail than anyone cares about).
