What version(s) of WoW are you using?

Retail

What problem are you experiencing that led to you asking for this feature?

the corner widgets provide several different "bound on FOO" indicators but no "not soul bound"

What solution would you like?

I'm creating the pull request momentarily

Any alternatives you can think of?

No response

Anything else?

As there isn't a BoP corner widget shouldn't it be as simple as "corner occupied, mailable"?

commented

(Sorry, not BoP but BoE instead)

I'd agree except for the term "simple" because there is a case where "corner NOT occupied, is ALSO mailable" -- the not-soulbound case. Therefore, trying to at-a-glance Identify "can mail" instead becomes "first, look for the corner that are occupied, then do a second pass mousing over any unoccupied corners for 'soulbound'"

thanks for discussing this with me.

commented

Which item would be not BoE, not Warbound/WuE and also not soulbound?

commented

A potion, for example. But not always all potions as some are BoP (Atomized Salien Slime)

A stack of food. But not always all food as some food can be BoP (Darkstem Stew)

But, your question seems to ignore my point I tried to make earlier: I've got a sword in my bag. Its corner has no icon, so, it's not a BoE or a BoA or etc. But I still don't know if I can give it to an alt because it could still be Soulbound or it could be Not-Soulbound.

This should cover all your needs for gear, what does the tooltip say for the sword you mentioned?

Sorry, yes, you're correct about the gear. The case remains for food / potions, right?

commented

You can add multiple widgets to a corner, so you'll see e.g. BoE or BoA depending on the item

commented

I'm not sure what the usecase is for the "not-soulbound" tag is on an item. As you'd end up needing to check the tooltip anyway to find out if the item is say auctionable, or just something to store in the warbank for later. Both those usecases are covered by the existing widgets, and as multiple widgets can be added to a corner, in priority order that feels covered?

commented

I wrote the new code awhile ago and I've been using it to see at a glance "can I send this in the mail (or put it in the warbank / guild bank / etc). With your nifty little flags in the corner of the icon, I can immediately see "yes, this mails" instead of my brain needing to "warbound or accountbound or BOP or BOA or etc = did that add up to I can mail it?"

commented

Do you use single or category mode for you bags?
If you are using categories you could make categories with these search terms:
Potions: #potion&!#soulbound
Food: #food&!#soulbound
Or if you want both in 1 category you could do !#soulbound&(#food|#potion)
This will remove any soulbound potion/foods from your categories so it's easier to tell if you can mail them or not.
And if you are using single bag mode you can still use these search terms to highlight those kind of items in the regular bag search box.

commented

But to your question about food/potions, yes. there's no widget currently to differentiate them from being mailable or not

commented

Good idea, let me give that a shot... huh... the problem is now my food and pots are split apart into multiple groups.

commented

Yeah it was just an alternative that you could do if you want to easier know which ones are soulbound or not as I don't know if plusmouse plans to add the widget to the addon but if you want less categories just make two and include food & pots in both
Name: Food/Pots
Search: !#soulbound&(#food|#potion)

Name: Food/Pots(S)
Search: #soulbound&(#food|#potion)

Does it help that I've already written the code and submitted a pull request?
