You can move the bags, or use an actionbar addon to move the bars.

Attempting to drag the topmost bag didn't work, hence my comment.
But didn't realise I just had to drag the bottom one, missing something obvious.
Thank you.

Yeah that's what sparked it for me.

Solid suggestion, but it'll be low prio for a while.

Just do it in the chat with /run, the settings are saved between sessions by Backpack.

The keybinding for "Open all bags" opens up the bank in addition to the bags. "Open backpack" will open just the bags and not the bank.

When I get the options GUI going I'm going to change that behavior, you're not the first one confused about it, it's just a temporary solution

One thing that was always left to be desired to me was the aesthetic though. Sure you could change background color and opacity but it was never a "looker".

THIS addon is the beginning of something awesome (assuming it's going to evolve, as it's new as you said). It sorts and even has different sections where it sorts dynamically. It also looks slick and matches well with a minimalistic pixel-font UI which is exactly what I run (fully customized by me).

One thing I'd like is for their not to be a distinction between equipment and 'equipment sets'. It's just a 2nd section where I feel it's not needed and splits my eyes between two different sections when I need to find something quickly without much thought. If this is something that can be modified out with upcoming versions, I can patiently ignore this minor issue for the time being. Basically I only need one "equipment" section. Essentially it would be nice to be able to also "combine" categories in such a way that maybe two sections of the default configuration could potentially just be one section for those who aren't concerned with making a distinction between those two sections visually in the bag sorting. Maybe even allow us to rename that section to our own name too. Just ideas.

Aside from that, I'll be using this for now and must say I'm loving it so far. Great work!

You can already disable/enable categories, there's just not a configuration for it.
In your case you could disable the Equipment Sets category (categoryIndex 31) and the items would get passed down to the next category filtering (which would be Equipment at categoryIndex 30).

To do this, use this API:

Code:

Backpack:DisableCategory(categoryIndex)

Inventory and Reagent Bank categories are protected, as they serve as fallback/default categories for all items (as well as the parent container for bags/bank/reagentbank).

As an example, here is a setup with every disable-able category disabled except for Teleporters:

Yes, if you disable everything you essentially get a all-in-one bag solution.

Might look into it, stuff like this is something that would be implemented by the layout.

Edit: Could also be added with a plugin:

Lua Code:

Backpack:On('PostUpdateSlot', function(Slot)
    if(not Slot.ItemLevelText) then
        local ItemLevelText = Slot:CreateFontString(nil, 'OVERLAY', 'NumberFontNormal')
        ItemLevelText:SetPoint('BOTTOM', 0, 1)
        Slot.ItemLevelText = ItemLevelText
    end
 
    Slot.ItemLevelText:SetText(Slot.itemLevel)
end)

This requires a small tweak to Backpack, I'll get that in on the next release.

Entirely possible already, but only through customizing the layout code.
When the feature set is more complete I'll consider adding this as an option for the base layout.
