Auto decline lotto feature

Hey,

Thanks for a lovely UI. I'd like to add a small request if possible. Fetish has a "Auto decline lotto" (auto close loot window popup with decline) feature which is really nice. I don't like mixing UI's since it makes a big mess, so adding this little feature in ProfitUI would be very nice

Don't know about the fetish one, but Thor has a ESC to decline, ENTER to accept window that's really nice for quickly getting past loot windows. Would love to see that in Profit, so I'd have one less file to have to ignore in the updater

The problem with that, is for those people on raids, or just non-trade items in general, a lot of times people will ask group/raid if anyone needs them. Pressing enter would then put you in the lotto, thus reducing the chance of someone getting their item.

Escape is a fine addition, and I would like that.. But I do think the enter key should remain free.

Well with the feature I mentioned you don't have to push anything when the check box is enabled under the persona window that says "Auto decline lotto". It's ideal for dual boxers or when you mentor someone and don't want to hit ESC or ENTER, or click with your mouse. The loot window will just not appear.

Auto Decline Lotto should be an official option along side with coin split and so on ..

For me it is annoying especially in mentor groups where im just giving away all the loot to the n00bs

It's kinda easily solved in box scenarioes because free for all kinda takes care of it there ..

This is now part of v4.5. I did look at the Fetish solution but did not like it - all it does is hide your loot window. The ProfitUI 4.5 solution only applies if loot mode is set to lotto, and in that case it actually declines the loot so others do not have to wait for lotto timeout. Credits must of course still go to Zonx for the idea.

You can toggle a checkbox in the control center and even predefine the setting in a config file (see release notes). I did not put the checkbox on the loot window on purpose lest someone checks it there by mistake and wonders why he never gets loot.
