Mod Author in need of help

Hey there everyone. So I have unofficially taken it upon myself to maintain this particular addon: Joviex's Addon Settings Transfer - My Updated Version http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1547-JoviexsAddonSettingsTransferUpdate.html#info

I really do not know what I am doing, but I have been updating a few addons with new libraries from ESOUI, which essentially drag and drop and its updated. However I want to get a little deeper into messing around with LUA and stuff.

The thing I am running into is this new comment on my updated version:

New install, load character, this is what pops up:

user:/AddOns/jovAST/jovAST.lua:11: Cannot find a library instance of "LibUtil".
stack traceback:
	user:/AddOns/AdvancedFilters/lib/LibStub/LibStub.lua:29: in function 'LibStub:GetLibrary'
	user:/AddOns/jovAST/jovAST.lua:11: in function '(main chunk)'

The line of code he is referring to is this one:

local JUL = LibStub("LibUtil")

I poked around around the LibUtil file is there, so I have no idea what the issue. I am not sure why AdvancedFilters is listed in his error either. If anyone could give me a hand it would be much appreciated.

The reason you see AdvancedFilters in the error is because that add-on also includes a version of LibStub and it happens to be the one being executed as it was loaded first. In theory it shouldn't matter which version of LibStub is used but in this case it seems to be causing an issue for whatever reason. Perhaps a really old version of AdvancedFilters? Try getting the user to disable and/or update the addon and see what happens.

For more advanced help I would check out the ESOUI forums at http://www.esoui.com/forums/index.php.
