Please read this.
I'm taking another break for a while. My anxiety isn't holding up well and I need to take some time for myself to recover. Frankly, modding can be a thankless job and some of the people one is forced to interact with can be... deeply unpleasant at best, to put it in the kindest way I can and not as I truly want to. For now, I feel like my mods don't need any further work done to them. They're fine as they are. See you later, folks.
I'll be back! I'm not gone for good, I just need to set this aside for now. That's all.
One thing I will say as a final note is that it'd be nice if one could turn off the comments system and only have a bug tracker in the vein of Nexus Mods. That'd be handy for people like myself who do deal with anxiety. And I deal with a lot of anxiety.
See you around, folks. My thanks to those who were kind.

Description
SmartBags, back from the grave! This is a complete rewrite (from the ground up) of
ReikanYsora's original addon. Cleaned up, fixed up, degaussed, defluffed, and with some new features to boot.
I really liked this addon so I wanted to do something nice with it.
What is it, though? It's an indicator of your bag space, as a bar. And now, one that can intelligently show so that it never gets in your way.
Features
Storage Recognition
Now SmartBags intelligently knows which storage it should be working with. A right-click on it while at the bank toggles between your bank and inventory view. While you're at the house storage it shows that and your inventory instead. It also recognises Tythis, your banker assistant, and ESO live's bonus slots.
Basically, it knows what you want to see and is happy to let you see it, when you need it.
Smart Visibility
This feature allows you to have SmartBags show only when it's most helpful, and to hide at all other times. So it'll show if you're at the bank, house storage, crafting, or in your inventory but if you're not it'll stay hidden. If your bags get full while out questing it'll pop up to let you know and stick around as a reminder.
SmartBags deserved this feature.
Auto-Switching
Say you're at the bank, yes? Wouldn't it be handy if, on opening your bank to see the withdrawal pane, it showed your bag's slots for contrast so you could see how full it was getting whilst withdrawing stuff. Wouldn't it also be nice if when switching to deposit it flipped over automatically to your bank's slots so you could see how full that's getting as you're putting things away? And for house storage too, no less.
Automatically showing you the most helpful information was my primary goal with the revival of SmartBags. A name like SmartBags deserves an intelligent information display.
Windex Compatibility
SmartBags is compatible with my
Windex addon, another piece of software whose purpose is to keep you from clutter and to show you what you need to see when you need to see it. SmartBags has a plugin already in place, there, and it'll happily obey the Windex toggle. So you can have Smart Visibility on then show SmartBags at the press of a button.
Menu & Slash Commands
Unlike the original SmartBags, this addon now has both a menu and slash commands. It's even designed modularly so if you want to you could easily delete the appropriate modulles and accompanying libraries and just have what you want.
I'll place the slash commands in a section below.
Localisable
SmartBags was already localisable and, to a degree, localised. Though it was something of a ... mess, to say the least. I've done all I can to provide a simple system for localising which just places all the strings in an appropriately named file.
Sadly, I can't use the original localisation, too much has changed.
Tighter Focus
A lot of bloat was cut from SmartBags in the rewrite. It no longer has the loot log; That's been rolled out into its own project called
Snoop. This way, you're not forced to have both parts if you only want one. And it allows me to focus on the respective scope of each project independently of one another.
Usage
For the most part, SmartBags is self-explanatory. It's intuitive and it has an easy to understand addon menu. You may, however, prefer to use slash commands. So here's the list of those and how they work.
- /sbags unlock Acts as a toggle to make the frame draggable or locked in place;
- /sbags auto Acts as a toggle to switch between bag/bank views when selecting withdraw or deposit;
- /sbags smart Acts as a toggle for the smart visibility features-set (ex. staying hidden unless you're in your inventory);
- /sbags warn [1-100] The per centage which is considered 'almost full;'
- /sbags alpha [0.0-1.0] This sets the transparency level of the bar;
- /sbags basecolor [0.0-1.0] [0.0-1.0] [0.0-1.0] Sets the base RGB colour;
- /sbags warncolor [0.0-1.0] [0.0-1.0] [0.0-1.0] Sets the almost full RGB colour;
- /sbags fullcolor [0.0-1.0] [0.0-1.0] [0.0-1.0] Sets the full RGB colour;
- /sbags defaults This will restore all settings to their defaults.
Disclaimer
I'm sharing this though because I genuinely get satisfaction out of the mere possibility of helping others, even when I don't know for sure. I have no interest in being popular, cults of popularity squick me out. As such, considering my disabilities, I'm unlikely to look at the comments very much. So this addon is delivered
as-is, with a hearty dose of caveat emptor. Anything that it doesn't already do is 'out of scope.' You have other choices. I just wanted to make an simple, elegant solution for a real problem I was having. And now I'm sharing it in case it helps others.

Footnotes
Also, renascence is
totes a word, I didn't make a typo in the title. It's
similar to renaissance, but it has a different connotation, it implies something returning which has laid dormant for a time.
