In addition to "Create Auctionator Shopping List" in the craftsim craftqueue window, it would be nice to have another button that generates a TSM shopping string that we can plug into the TSM AH search interface. The auctionator UI requires 3-4 clicks per purchase, which is tedious when you have 25 items on your shopping list for every alt. The TSM UI lets you interact with it using macros, so it's much more preferable to use.

You shouldn't need to interface with any TSM API, you could simply generate a text string we could copy/paste into TSM.

So for example if the craftqueue calls for 10 rank two Gilded Vials and 5 rank three Gilded Vials, click this new button and a text box pops up containing the following which we can copy/paste into TSM:

i:211808/x5/;i:211807/x10/

The auctionator shopping list contains all the info needed to generate said pop up, I'm not sure how to change the item names + rank into the appropriate item IDs though. Other than that it's just some gsub find/replace from that auctionator shopping list export string.

I made a google spreadsheet that converts the shopping list export string to a TSM string, maybe it could help for testing. It's a temporary workaround that only works for TWW items, but it would be convenient to have this functionality in game

Ill investigate if there is a tsm api available which can be used for that, otherwise I could just build the string myself :)

Ok there does not seem to be any useable api for this
then a textbox popup with the searchstring might be the way to go

Sorry I'm not familiar with GitHub so hopefully me closing this isn't improper procedure. Just wanted to clear this from your queue.

Also wanted to say SUPER huge thanks for the /craftsim quick buy feature, that addition resolves this feature request in a much better way than I could have imagined. This has streamlined my daily alt routine A TON. Thanks again
