Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Do not use this! Even though I turned off the "Delete if worth less than..."-feature it still cleaned out half my bags while disenchanting, including a couple of epics.
I first caught it deleting the mats I was disenchanting. Then I turned off that feature. But it went right on to delete my mount and other stuff.

V3.5 is very buggy, I'v been using it since it came out in february and quite often it stops deleting trash loot that I have specified by name and I have to reload wow to fix it. This happens at least once a day on the days I use it.

Updated to V3.5 Excellent changes and I love Loot Filter, one of the best addon's in the game IMHO.

With 3.5 I am having an error when attempting to use the pull down under the "Type" Tab. I can only see "Armor" under the pull down, and when I click on the Pull Down arrow, nothing happens.

Suggestions?

Using the 'clean' option doesn't seem to be working, it is listing the trash I want to delete just fine but then does nothing when choosing to delete (and yes I am sure).

Fantastic addon, makes farming cloth from lower instances an almost enjoyable experience instead of the hell it used to be dodging 'trash' on loot.

Opening clams seems to break after a while. It opens 3 or 4 then afterwards the loot cursor turns black and you can't loot anything until relogging.

@x3source
The dropdown list error is, as far as i know, caused by something other than Loot Filter. It occurs in Blizzard code/xml and i have no idea how to fix it. Did you try disabling all other addons and then running Loot Filter?

Do you plan on fixing the dropdown combo boxes in the configuration window? They still do not work for me, and due to not being able to fully configure the mod I am going back to "Itemized Deductions." Id like to see this stuff fixed though because this is a more automatic mod.

@Normi08
Please try and use Loot Filter 3.3 (change log on http://www.lootfilter.com , read it!). Set it up to use Loot Caching and add the name of your shards to the delete names.
You are correct that deleting items using the clean tab has stopped working. I will have fixed this in the 3.4 version. Thanks for reporting that.
Please let me know if 3.3 allows you to do what you want.

Ok to describe it a bit better:
In Loot Filter 1.93 i was able to set everything to keep under Quality and Type and than
under Name move the Soul Shard to DELETE. If i than opened the Clean Tab
it listed all my Shoul Shards there except from my Soul Bag, wich i excluded.
I need this because i use a skill that gives a shard on each kill all the time
filling my inventory in no time. As far as i figured this is still somehow possible to do
if i move the type Miscellaneous/Reagent and the quality/white (wich is a soul shards quality) to not care, but this is not cool because other things
are also filtered that way. So maybe it is possible for you to just change the order u check
if something is to be cleaned or not back to the way it was in 1.93.
Another thing is: Starting with version 3.1 or 3.2 it also refuses to delete the shards in the clean tab after i select yes, i am sure, it simply does nothing.

@pantslessman
This is by design. You have to select the items you want to keep. This is only so when using loot caching or when you are selling btw.
