Question

Hey there! 👋

In the process of updating ButterQuestTracker to support Questie v6 I noticed that UpdateHiddenNotes was renamed to _UnhideManualIcons and _HideManualIcons along with being made private / internal.

I'm wondering if this functionality was replaced with anything that's publically available, or if there's something similar I can utilize.

My Scenario

Effectively I was calling it when ButterQuestTracker was initialized (with a bit of delay to account for Questie loading) and when a user untracked / tracked a quest.

This would result in the icons on the map either appearing or disappearing depending on the intent since I was updating the HideIcons variable as well.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hey @ceci-woodward,

Sorry for delay on this. Can you confirm this is still an issue and let me know what the impact is for you? Trying to get a sense for how to prioritize this one. It's only impacting people who use ButterQuestTracker?

Hey @Gogo1951!

I don't actively work on ButterQuestTracker anymore, I mostly just resolve critical bugs when they come up.
However, I'll try to give my best run down of the issue based on what I remember!

"Workaround"

I effectively disabled the functionality in ButterQuestTracker w/ Questie v6+ so people could still utilize both addons together.

See code

Who does this effect?

The removal of the API would have impacted anyone trying to externally hide / refresh the Questie Map Icons.
However, last I knew ButterQuestTracker was the only addon with this sort of integration.

Impact on ButterQuestTracker

The impact of this functionality being removed is that unwatching a quest from ButterQuestTrackers "watch" list no longer causes Questie to hide the relevant icons from the map.

Hey @ceci-woodward ,

Thanks for the info! We've got a lot of changes in store for BC, let's chat then if this comes up again.

Feel free to re-open once we both have versions for BC and we can see if we still need to make a fix.

Cheers!
