Delineating Bag Types

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When in category mode, there is no distinguishing which type of bag has free space - reagent or standard. Additionally, there is no indicating on icons which would delineate in which type on bag they are being stored.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see an empty space icon with number for each bag type in use.
I would also like something in an icon cornet to delineate which bag type is holding them.

Describe alternatives you've considered

As it stands, I have to switch between Single and Category mode to see this information.

Thank you; loving it so far!

Would a tooltip on the empty slots to tell you which bag types have how many slots free be enough, or is the separated bag slots so you can see the separate empty slots numbers without mouseover necessary?

commented

What are you doing that requires knowing which bag an item is in?

Thank you. And I was thinking, rather than showing an icon on the individual items, a "move reagents to appropriate bags" would alleviate that. The built-in Blizzard sort does do this automatically, so in theory, one could use the option to sort every time you open bags. But that seems like it would lag more and move things you may not wish to move. Because you're right, there really isn't a reason to care which specific items are in it... just to know which to move over. If it could do that for you, knowing would be moot.

I would also like to add that I've used every bag addon under the sun. I've been stuck on AdiBags even since it stopped being developed. In my opinion, this is the first one to truly fill every need thus far. Since I hadn't said so explicitely, I would like to point out just how much I appreciate this add-on.

An example, if I've been playing and my reagent bag fills, any further reagents will go into my standard bag. When I go to send/sell/clear stuff out, I can be left with reagents in my standard bags and the free spaces in the reagent bag.

And as far as free space, if I see I have 5 (example) spaces free, I'm probably good to go to this dungeon. But if I get there and find out that I only had 5 reagent slots free, I can't loot any gear. That's a problem in an add-on specifically designed to deal with bag space.

This is just an example, but when the bags are of different types, there are many times you would want to make sure the stuff is in the right bag. There have been profession bags almost as long as the game has been out, and with different types, you want a way to move items into the most restrictive bag you can to open up space for other items.

The dungeon example is helpful. I'll look at adding something to resolve this.

Separate empty slots are now in the latest alpha:

That's perfect.

Also, is there a way to move any reagents into the most restrictive bag (i.e. from standard to reagent, or reagent to specific profession)? I realized there was an auto-sort on opening bag option, but that seemed much more invasive than simply opening up potential bag space by changing which bag things are stored in.

I want to say thank you again; those look amazing. I'll test them out later.
