GRIP-EMS v2.4.22

In v2.4.21 it listed none of your tree spells there: no skill line in the Forever spellbook names a spec, so every tree spell went under Other. Now, on a client whose spellbook names no spec at all, every line that is not General, your race or a profession counts as your class. That part is a WoW Forever fix. On such a client the spell picker now opens on its Class tab once EMS has read your spellbook, where v2.4.21 opened it on Spec, which lists nothing there. On every client, the class line also counts when its name is your class as the game writes it in your language, in either gendered form: v2.4.21 compared it with the English class token alone, so a Death Knight's line and a German Mage's line (Magier) went under Other. A German client's race line now goes under Race too.

In v2.4.21 it tested locale healing on the first of your sequences with spell IDs stored. It marked that sequence as written in another language, ran the healing over every sequence you have and kept what the healing wrote. If the healing raised an error, the command stopped there and the sequence stayed marked. It now heals a copy of that sequence alone and puts your sequences back afterwards, and a healing that raises an error reads as a failed test.

In v2.4.21 the hint over the paste box said to click Import, a button the window no longer has: the button under the box reads Preview. The hint now names that button by its own label, in every language.

In v2.4.21 the Simplified and Traditional Chinese descriptions of the empower tap and empower hold CVars named the Evoker. They now translate the English description, which names no class.

In v2.4.21 its key-down line in Russian left out the note that buttons override the setting, which the English line carries. It now carries it in Russian, with the CVar name and value as before. The Discord line in Simplified Chinese now has the space after "Discord:" that the other languages have.

In v2.4.21, 15 French lines and one Italian line still hedged a count, as "(s)" does in English. They now take the form for their count, and a second count in the same line follows a colon.

In v2.4.21 the tooltip said "Modifier chain" while the chain window's header said "Modification chain", and that header was English in every language. The tooltip now says "Modification chain", the header reads your language, and each language's tooltip names the chain with its header's words.

In v2.4.21, 31 German lines still addressed you as du, among them the warning that keybinds were lost and its hint. They now say Sie, with their umlauts written out.

In v2.4.21 it said higher-numbered steps fire more often. Priority plays step 1 most often, in the order 1, then 1 2, then 1 2 3, and the tooltip now says so in every language. The step bar and the popup editor show the description the step function carries.

In v2.4.21, 52 places that build a button gave it a fixed width too narrow for its label in at least one language at 7 pixels a character, among them Save in French, the export window's Back to Selection in English and the Keybinds tab's Set in French. Each now takes its label's width plus 16 pixels and never less than its old width. The Repair window's Fix All grows with its count, and the default version and popup version buttons grow when their numbers change.

v2.4.21 gave a new profile a saved size of 800 by 500, and the window opened 500 pixels tall, 140 below the 640 it is built for. A new profile now starts at 800 by 640. A saved size below the window's 720 by 640 minimum, from an older profile, comes back at the minimum, and so does the size the window returns to after you minimize it.

After an update from v2.4.20 to the v2.4.20 hotfix, What's New opened at login with v2.4.20's notes again. A hotfix now counts as the version it fixes, unless it brings notes of its own.

In v2.4.21 it landed second to last, in the step list and in the detail pane. A step dropped just below its own place moved nothing, yet the sequence counted as changed, and in the step list Undo gained a step that did nothing. That drop now changes nothing.

In v2.4.21 Escape on that prompt closed the popup editor and threw its edits away. Escape now closes the prompt alone, and the popup editor stays open with its edits. The prompt's buttons read Save, Discard, Cancel from left to right, where they read Save, Cancel, Discard.

In v2.4.21 it left them open. A popup editor with no unsaved changes now closes, and one with unsaved changes stays open under its unsaved-changes prompt. A popup editor you open while Simplified Mode is on stays open.

In v2.4.21 its chat line said so, while turning the mode off brings back the settings saved when it went on. The line now says that, and the toggle's description says what turning the mode on sets and what turning it off does.

In v2.4.21 it measured your screen against the main window's 640-pixel floor at a scale of 1, so with the game's interface 768 or 900 pixels high it gave no warning, though the window needs more than that at the mode's scale. It now measures at the mode's scale.

In v2.4.21 each step row was one line and 24 pixels high, whatever the step held. A row now grows 14 pixels for each line past the first, and a one-line step stays 24. An edit to a step stored as a list of lines, or as a compiled step, is now stored back in that form, the compiled step's other fields kept, where v2.4.21 stored it as plain text.

In v2.4.21 it stayed at the bar's right end and drew over the version buttons on a narrow editor.

In v2.4.21, on an editor 500 pixels wide, the name box shrank to 28 pixels, about one letter, once Save and Discard appeared. They sat to the left of the Disable and Export buttons even while those were hidden. They now sit next to the nearest button that is showing: the box measures 174 pixels there, and 220 with the disabled badge showing and Save hidden. When the box grows again its text goes back to the first letter, unless you are typing in it.

In v2.4.21 the line under the Key Press box ended 13 pixels below the editor's header, on top of the preview row under it, and further down with Large targets on. The header is now tall enough to hold the line with Large targets on or off.

In v2.4.21 the button handed the export window that data without the sequence's name, and the window opened on its list of sequences with the data nowhere in it. It now opens on the data under the sequence's name, with a line that tells you to press Ctrl+C and keep the copy somewhere safe.

Two sequences whose names differ only in punctuation, such as Fury and Fury!, share one button. In v2.4.21, with one of them holding that button and the other enabled later in the session, Refresh on the Macros tab filed their shared macro under the one you enabled, which did not hold the button. Refresh now files it under the sequence that holds the button.

In v2.4.21 the export window's Export Selected, with nothing ticked, and the step bar's Dup, Up, Down and Del, when they could not act, showed nothing when you hovered them. Each now shows its tooltip and stays greyed out.

In v2.4.21 each format button was as wide as its name, so a long name ran the row under Export String. The buttons now share the room between the two, a name cut to fit ends in "...", and hovering a cut button shows the whole name.

In v2.4.21 it sat at the row's top right, 16 by 7 pixels over the row's action button. It now sits left of the status badge, and the row's text makes room for it.

A sequence with one key in a loadout and another for the spec had both in the saved set /gems binds restore reads, and v2.4.21 brought back only the last of them: each key it restored replaced the one before. Each key is now added beside the others.

In v2.4.21 a step row there showed a drag handle that worked: a drag moved the step, in the step list and in the detail pane, and Alt+Up, Alt+Down and Delete moved or removed the selected step. The rows now show no drag handle, a drag moves nothing, and those three keys go on to the game as keys EMS does not use.

In v2.4.21 the window left every key to the game, so on the CVar Health and Accessibility pages 1 to 9 pressed your action bar buttons. They now move the keyboard cursor to the page's sections, as they do on the game's Options pages, and TAB, Space, Enter and Escape work there as in the theme editor.

In v2.4.21 a step toggle key that a sequence key, a variant chord or a saved binding already held did nothing, and the only word of it was one chat line at login. One that another addon took later showed nothing at all. /gems keys now lists each step toggle key, says which binding holds one that was not set, and offers Fix for a saved binding.

In v2.4.21 keys 1 to 6 picked the tab at that place in the full tab list, hidden tabs counted, so with Variants hidden key 6 picked the hidden Variants tab where the sixth tab shown was Raw. Key N now picks the Nth tab the strip shows, for any key from 1 to as many tabs as it shows, in Simplified Mode too.

In v2.4.21, once Simplified Mode had been on, the open main window kept keys it does not use from the game until you reloaded, with the mode still on and after you turned it off. A number key past the tabs it shows did not press your action bar button, and Enter did not open chat. Those keys now go to the game. The window keeps Tab, the arrow keys, Space, Delete, Escape and the number keys of its tabs.

A Forever name can have two parts, and v2.4.21 read only the first. Two characters named Grip Ems and Grip Two on one realm shared one character record, and a sequence or variable you made carried only the first part of your name as its author. EMS now reads your full name in both places. Records you already have keep their keys, and nothing is moved. Your settings profile is still keyed by the first part of the name, so those two characters still share it. A retail character's name has one part, so nothing changes there.

WoW Forever has no encounterTimelineEnabled, encounterTimelineHideForOtherRoles or encounterTimelineHideQueuedCountdowns. In v2.4.21 each one counted as wrong: /gems status counted a warning for it, the health score could never reach 100, the page showed rows no fix could change, and Auto-Fix CVars on Login, with one of them ticked, tried to set it at every login. /gems status, the score, the page and the login fix now leave them out. /gems status and the score line say how many they left out, and the page's summary and the first-run introduction count only the CVars you have. This is a WoW Forever fix; a game that has every CVar sees no change.

In v2.4.21 each box took its width from its scroll frame alone, so a box whose scroll frame was moved or given another parent, as a plugin can do, was 0 pixels wide. Each box is now anchored to the row it sits in.

In v2.4.21 it could pop up while you were on another page of the EMS options window, because building that window's list of pages opened it. It now opens when the game's Options show the CVar Health page, when the EMS options window opens on that page, or when you pick that page or one under it in the EMS options window, and still only until you have seen it once.

In v2.4.21 it said /gems test advanced a step by hand, where the command runs the in-game test suite, or one test by name, and /gems test prep prints the preparation. It said /gems tracker toggled the tracker HUD, where each use moves it to the next of never, always, in combat and with a target. It said /gems record captured spells into a sequence, where a stop prints how many spells it captured and makes no sequence. It showed the class ID of /gems loadclass as optional, where the command needs one. Each line now says what the command does.

In the Repair window of v2.4.21, the dimmed Fix on an issue EMS cannot fix for you kept the Save colour of the Fix its row had shown before, since the list reuses its rows. It now takes the plain button colour, as it does on a new row.

In v2.4.21 a variable or macro in the export window, or a variable in the import window, kept its auto mark after you unticked it. The mark now goes when you untick the row.

In v2.4.21 the notes scrolled with the mouse wheel alone, and nothing showed that more lay below. A scroll bar now runs down the right of the notes, and the mouse wheel still scrolls them.

In v2.4.21 it had a plain button's width, 170 pixels, where its English label needs 254 at 7 pixels a character. It now takes the double width the page's other long buttons take.
