Votan's Improved Locations Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.22.3

Dependencies

LibAddonMenu

Description
On one hand, the "Locations" tab of the world-map does what it needs to do and all locations fit on screen without scrollbar.
On the other hand, it looks very bare and squeezed. Pseudo locations like "Tamriel" and "Aurbis" are mixed together with locations of all alliances, just in alphabetic order.

This add-on improves the "Locations" tab of the world-map window.

It adds a Most-Recent-Used list (MRU) to the top. Your currently last visited locations are the top five. (Similar to "Faster Travel", because it is an obvious useful feature )
The locations are grouped by alliance and your character's alliance will be the first, then Cadwell Silver, Gold.
~~Since 1.2.0 you can enable showing zone level.~~ <= Obsolete since "One Tamriel"
Since 1.3.0 you can enable showing "All Alliances" zones on top (below recent list).
Since 1.8.0 gamepad mode support.
Since 2.20.0 A re-written version of "Survey the World" from manavortex, with her permission.

Alliances are indicated by the icons: Scrolls, moon and sun. The scrolls indicate your character's main alliance, the crescent moon indicates Cadwell's Silver alliance, and the sun indicates Cadwell's Gold alliance. (Which is why Coldharbour is a scroll - since you only do that for the main alliance.)
The book with a down arrow indicates DLC/Chapters. The tower is for PvP zones.
The numbers indicate story order/DLC release order.

Anyway. For the Improved Locations, would it be possible to tag locations as favourite, and have them always stay on top of the list? I do already use the 'Recent' feature, but my favourite locations (say for example, Craglorn) tend to quickly drop off the list after a treasure map run, or similar.

I'm afraid this does sound a bit like it may not be technically possible (or something you'd prefer not to implement), but thought I should ask

Keep up the amazing work.

Very good idea. How about colour coded location names? Is that doable?

I love this mod anyway. So simple yet so useful.

Dungeons are not "locations". You may think about the addon "Destinatons"?

It's kinda more a re-sort of the original list with no headers, with the recent locations still at the top.

When I saw the keyboard version, I did wonder if the list could be divided up into groups like that in the Gamepad UI. Would make scrolling the list far easier in the Gamepad UI. When a list is grouped (such as the Bank and Inventory), you can use the left and right trigger buttons to move from group to group. Kinda like pgup and pgdn. I might have a look and see if there is anything I can contribute.

Certainly is. I guess the gamepad UI didn't offer a way to add the sub-headers? But either way, very nice.
