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

When doing things like Disenchanting a bunch of items, Baganator creates a mini-game of sorts by dynamically resizing the window.

Note: I'm using the categorized look, not the single bag view.

What solution would you like?

I absolutely love the categorized view. But doing the dynamic resizing while in use can get pretty confusing.

Something along these lines:

• An option in settings for "[X] Do not dynamically update window layout while open"
• Possibly refined to multiple options (the language on these is way too wordy since I'm trying to define the option for the request):
  • Overall header: "When bags window is open"
  • "[X] Do not dynamically update window layout after performing destructive operations" (don't dynamically update after Disenchanting, Prospecting, etc)
  • "[X] Do not dynamically update window layout when items are sold or traded" (auction house, players, junk vendor, etc)
  • "[X] Do not dynamically update window layout when items are stored in a bank" (warbank, guild bank, personal bank)
  • "[X] Do not dynamically update window at any time while open"

The first easiest option is just "don't update while open". Instead do a layout update -when- opened only. The latter options are only if you want to refine it a bit.

Splitting items:

Splitting items actually may require a layout redraw. At least that's how my brain sees it. So maybe add language to the "Do not dynamically update window layout while open" to "Do not dynamically update window layout while open except when splitting item stacks".

Note: There are to options for "what to do with the now empty space" when an item is destroyed or moved to a bank:

1. Remove the empty cell (as in the space is still taken but looks like Banagator bag background without a square) and update the "Empty Cells" counter (if chosen to show) with the newly available number. I like this option best.
2. Draw an empty square and don't update the # of empty cells counter until the bag is closed and reopened.

Either of those work and preserve the layout.

Any alternatives you can think of?

This feels unnecessary, because Baganator already avoids layout rearrangement (at least on the default profile). If you removed the "Recent" category from its position at the top above a divider then this rearrangement would have become commonplace.
