Maybe a dull request, but I'll put it out there anyways; would it be possible, on the summary page to implement "sorting" ? Like.. if I click Toon, it sorts the list by name or click level it sorts the toons by level, from highest to lowest on first click, and reverse on 2nd click..

Can you add an option to Save the Prefs location for AO in the config file .. my %User% folder in Windows is in a non-standard place, and having to select it Every time I run AOIA is a pain in the butt!
This option is already there...
AOIA+ Options menu :: Manually Locate AO Prefs -> use the folder browser to locate your AO prefs folder

Hmm .. well I must be one of the unlucky people, who, when they click the 'Exit' button - the app never actually Exits .. and hence writes the config file. So .. the longer question is .. what IS the config file option, so that I can manually edit the config so the app finds my Prefs folder?! The config finds the AO folder fine, and most other settings .. but since they broke the client post-merge I have to manually configure everything all over again -sigh-. On the plus side, however, at least for me AOIA(+) works so thanks guys for keeping up the good work!
AO Item Assistant + v1.1.6.1 Release:

It has appeared for some time now the saving of the prefs has been a bit of a sticking point for some users with AOIA. I have therefore corrected this issue with this release of AOIA+, and your prefs should be saved correctly and consistently between sessions now.
The method invoked means you could even drop a AOIA+ shortcut into your Start-up folder, and have it start/exit with windows and not have to worry about closing it again to save your prefs.

I have not tried this with your updated + version on Windows 8.x. From what I understand Windows 8.x will not allow an unsigned app to start with windows or login. Signing it of course would be one way to resolve this.
In the meantime for users that want it to start with Windows 8.x the best method I have found so far is to create a scheduled task that runs it a short time after Login.
To implement this method follow these steps:
- Type: "Task scheduler" in start menu, run it.
- Select Create Task, name it something. Add an optional description if desired.
- Check run with highest privileges if Item Assistant is in the program Files folder. This is necessary to allow write privileges in Program files folder for apps that are not installed with the trusted installer privilege.
- On the Triggers tab, select New
- Choose At log on from the Begin the task; dropdown list.
- Select Any User or choose your username from the change user button.
- Delay the task for 30 seconds or 1 minute. One less thing for windows to load while you log in for faster startup.
- Make sure the Enabled is checked
- On the Actions tab, select New
- Choose Start a program from the Action dropdown list.
- Browse to where the AO Item Assistant program is saved for the program/script box. for example: "c:\Funcom\Utils\ItemAssistant\ItemAssistant.e xe"
- Add the path to the Start in (optional) textbox. The path is everything before \ItemAssistant.exe in the box above. For example: c:\Funcom\Utils\ItemAssistant
- On the Settings tab.
- Check Allow task to be run on demand.
- Choose Do not start a new instance
- Click OK and you are done!
I hope this helps someone.
I am curious to know if anyone was able to get this or other programs to start with Windows 8.x using a different method. This only applies to apps the are not digitally signed by the publisher.

AO Item Assistant v1.1.6.2 Released
https://sourceforge.net/projects/aoiaplus
It is my understanding that some folk are so addicted to AO and can't bear to be without AOIA+ that they may wish AOIA+ to fire up when Windows loads. Therefore this version adds a few menu options allowing AOIA+ to do this for you and to start minimised so it doesn't interfere too much with your usual Windows boot up.
Greater stability to continuity of prefs between sessions.
Added the Menu Option for AOIA+ to start with Windows (Per user account).

Thanks for the update. Very much appreciated.
Is it safe to just copy/paste new files into the old AOIA folder and can I just keep doing that with new updates, or is there another way of updating that I should use?
(I always make a backup of the entire AOIA folder before doing it ofc, but...)
Yeah you can simply drop the new files right on top of the old ones and replace them ... one day(tm) I'll package the installer for this branch (",)

Just a few feature requests:
- Remember the expanded or collapsed state of Accounts and Characters in the Inventory tree.
- Allow a custom sort order for Accounts and Characters. They are listed currently listed alphabetically, which actually puts my main accounts at the bottom of the list.
- The ability to Hide Accounts or characters that you don't want to see displayed. I host quite a few Bots. I wish I did not have to see the bot accounts or characters. My list is cluttered enough as it is!
- I know this has been brought up before and a solution proposed but I would still like to have the multi-dimension ability in the one interface, with the tree displaying the account, dimension, character. Or Dimension, Account Character.
One last thing, the Summary page still shows the characters from both dimensions but does not clarify which are which so it is confusing and misleading at best.

So I installed the updated AOIA, and it worked fine... for about 5 minutes. Then it closed itself down and now when I try and open it, it instantly closes itself again. Is this a known issue or something?

Dream or others,
Does anyone know if we can use itemAssistant without an AO installation?
Does it support any command-line arguments?
Basically, I run iA with a shared dropbox/gdrive on the cloud so that I can invoke it from anywhere: my laptop, my desktop PC, etc.
I have a work laptop now, and I'd love to be able to search for items in my lunch breaks and such or respond to forum WTS/WTB requests by using iA.
There isn't really a need to install iA on the work laptop - I have launched it previously and built it on the laptop and desktop PCs, and saved install to the dropbox/gdrive folder.... But every time I start it up, it asks to locate the AO folder on this new work laptop, and I want to avoid installing AO thick client.
I thought it was doing this to generate the itemsdb cache for ia, but does it want prefs folder? I am syncing the prefs folder on gdrive/dropbox also, so maybe I can use that?
Basically I want to hear how other people get it to work in 'offline' mode...
Cheers
