That sounds useful, but I fear it would interfere with TrackerDial, a
hunter's addon that presents an outer circle of minimap buttons for all the
things your character can track. This circle of buttons appears only when
you mouse over the tracker minimap button so it doesn't add clutter. (It's
also useful for non-hunters with more than one tracking ability, such as
dwarves with find treasure, and warlocks with sense demons.)

I'm hoping TrackerDial won't require much work to keep it working with 2.2.

And if you're a programmer, they're also available using Subversion. I just
use a small batch file to keep Auctioneer, Gatherer, and ACE updated to the
latest checked-in code. Subversion also makes it easy to add my own
customizations and keep track of the differences from the original author's
source, as well as letting me easily create patch files to submit to the
authors.

Oops. I downloaded Auctioneer Advanced. Sorry about that. I reinstalled
the "regular" Auctioneer and it works perfectly!

Auctioneerpack-4.0.5.zip works flawlessly! It's GREAT! Same as it's
always been.

I then noticed the "server restart in 2 minutes" message when I was at
the AH and quickly logged out before I realized I had not noticed if
PriceEach was working. Ugh!

I'm looking forward to Auctioneer Advanced now that I've previewed it.

So PriceEach doesn't work with Advanced? I'd just installed the latter and
haven't yet done any testing. Maybe PriceEach can be recoded as a module
for it.

The wiki pages certainly made it sound attractive.

MazzleUI package is pretty messed up at this time. If you were
thinking about a new install I'd recommend that you wait a while.
There is some info and workarounds at www.wowinterface.com for those
that already have it installed. I certainly hope that the author will
properly update this fantastic interface.....

actually Auctioneer Advanced has Price Each built in, or at least for
posting purposes.

No surprise there! Mazzle is an entire collection of addons, and a set of
pre-done configuration files for them. Until all the addons are working,
and the scaling issues are dealt with to make the mazzle UI look right,
it's going to be a bad move.

I thought mazzle was cute, but, like cosmos, I think it's a VERY bad idea
to use it. Too much stuff you don't have easy control of, and therefore
very subject to big chunks breaking at once. *

I have downloaded and installed the above (and patched EQL3); all seem
to be working very well.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

That version of Monkeyquest (2.5.2) is the one that I was using but
there must be some strange conflict somewhere. Whenver I 'enable' it,
my mouse-overs on items in my bags (but not on my char) stop working.

Just found this link (http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/9322/)
which is 2.5.3 which is supposed to work with WoW patch 2.2.

I will give that a try tonight.

But then I'll have to choose between EQL3 and Monkeyquest, both of
which I like

Hmm... maybe Horde will use MQ and Ally EQL3?

I'm using Fizzwidget TrackMenu. A single click at the minimap tracking
button will give the menu with icons and names of trackable items.
Try see the picture at <http://www.fizzwidget.com/trackmenu/>.

I agree. Since PriceEach broke, I set Auctioneer to show the per-piece
price. Better than not having the info at all, but not as nice as
having both. There are still times I want to know how much the entire
stack is.
