FCOItemSaver - Marker icons lost and plans to prevent this in the future

Hey guys,

sorry to say that ZOs changed some info at the items again so the item instance ids that the addon uses to "save" the marker icons changed and your marker icons were all lost after the update :-( This is not addon error but a problem which will occur everytime ZOs adds more info to the items.

I'm working on a method to save the markers for the items based on different data then the changing iteminstanceid as ZOs told me they'll probably change a lot in the future...

So it might be possible that you need to remark all once again in the future, sorry, but then it should remember them even if ZOs changes the item instance ids.
Maybe I find a way to "migrate" your markers to the new system I have in mind. I'm working on it and just wanted to post it here too as some addon comments, or ingame messages, were posted by "angry users" compalining about the addon(s).

    Hey man, don't worry! You do your thing... re-marking all the items is definitely less hassle than using the bare-bones incredibly inefficient vanilla UI.

    Your addon improved the game by 10000% for me, even if I have to re-mark the items once or twice every patch... so, don't worry.

    Thanks for the positive feedback.

    Just tested another way of determining a unique marker id by help of the item's base id, level, needed cp level, quality, enchantments etc. Unfortunately this takes too long to mass mark/automatically mark the items and the client will lag for about 1 to 5 seconds each time this happens :/

    My current approach is to leave the marker ids based on the iteminstace id which might change every here and there, but build a settings button to backup/restore the markers with the above described unique marker ids. So you only need to do this once before a patch and hopefully the items are identified that unqiue that one can apply the markers after the patch again even if the iteminstance id changes.

    The most current version now supports backup & restore.
    Please check the addon description page at
    http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info630-FCOItemSaver.html
    under the "Backup & restore" section (scroll down near the end of the description or check the changelog of version 1.2.2).

    You are able to backup your marker icons this way now, before a new bigger patch arrives. And restore it after the new patch was applied. Your items should be save against changes in the itemInstanceId now.
    If though the itemId changes (which does not happen often but could) no way to save the marker icons properly is known so far. Hopefully ZOs is not going to chage the itemIds that often.
