This version is a backport from redeye's Event Tracker 1.4 (January 18, 2010) 

with fixes and improvements.

## Feature Notes



### State of Tracking

###### *"Stop It Scrolling!"*



Disabling and enabling whether events are being tracked can be done by clicking

the On/Off button at the bottom of the main window or by using the `/et off`,

`/et on` and `/et toggle` slash commands. Tracking is re-enabled by login or

reload.



### Shift Click Events in the Main Window

###### *"Get Out!"*



- shift-clicking any event in the list of events of the main window will 

unregister the event and purge all data for that event.



### Add Events from Slash Commands

###### *"This Is My Event. There Are Many Like It ..."*



- events added with `/et add`, removed with `/et remove` and `/et clear`, and 

shown with `/et list` are saved across login sessions. 

- these events are affected by `/et filter` after `registerall` is active. 

- using `/et reset` will reset to only these tracked events and those from 

`EventTracker_events.lua`.



### Filter All Registered Events

###### *"You Got Something That Sounds Like ...?"*



- any string added with `/et filter` will be used to do a plain substring search 

of event names after `registerall` is active. Only matching events and those 

from `EventTracker_events.lua` will apply. 

- if no string is given, the current filter is displayed.

- using `/et removefilter` will remove the filter.



### Lua Lists

###### *"Take It, Take It All!"*



The addon file `EventTracker_events.lua` can be edited to directly add two 

event lists. This is useful for bulk or permanent changes.



- `ET_TRACKED_EVENTS`: add to this array of events to permanently track events

- `ET_IGNORED_EVENTS`: add to this array of events to permanently ignore events 

after `registerall` is enabled. 



These event lists are unaffected by the `/et filter` slash command. The lists 

will always apply, except if `/et unregisterall` is used.



### Ways to Reset Events

###### *"Hit The Reset Button! ... Wait, Which One?"*



- using `/et purge`, or the main window Purge button, will clear shown event 

data; it does not affect registered events. 

- using `/et reset` will unregister all events, then re-register all tracked 

events from `EventTracker_events.lua` and additional tracked events from the 

slash commands. It will purge existing event data.

- using `/et unregisterall` will unregister all events except 

`VARIABLES_LOADED`. It will purge existing event data.
