Buff/debuff + boss frames anchoring improvement #55

Closed addonaddict closed 3 years ago

addonaddict commented 3 years ago

Describe the problem

When using basicminimap, buff/debuff and boss frame windows need to be adjusted with a different addon (if you use a bigger minimap, it will be on top of these frames.

because of this issue - i either have to use additional addons like moveanything that spam errors (boss frames cant be moved properly without causing UI errors nonstop) I would suggest if possible to allow anchoring the buff and boss frames to BasicMinimap map so that no matter what happens to your UI (such as changing UI scale % or by changing monitors which I do a lot) everything will always be in correct location. Having to readjust everything and deal with multiple addons for something like this is unfortunately why I had to delete the addon..

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. make a minimap big at top right corner, all frames will be hidden behind..

What version of the addon are you using? (Stating 'latest' is not useful)

v9.0.5

Do you have an error log of what happened?

no errors

Thank you so much

Thanks for taking the time to make this suggestion. It's a valid problem that's for sure, but unfortunately it's not a problem I want to personally deal with in this addon, sorry. The code involved can be messy, and it opens up a whole new area of things that I need to maintain and support, especially in regards to "playing nice" with other addons.

If you don't want to use MoveAnything because you feel it is not maintained, I can suggest one of my addons for moving the buff frame: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/basicbuffs

I have no suggestions for boss frames or quest tracker other than dedicated unit frame addons & quest tracker addons.
