New version is released, see http://ac.ranta.info/ScrollReader3 for download link.

The export for unknown 7s and 8s does NOT have the schools in the filename and the sorting is by "friendly name", so if you want your export grouped by school you need to export one school after another and rename the resulting file between the exports so it is not overwritten!

Spell names and properties in AC are a mess (eg Heal Self and Healing Mastery Self share the same spell family, there is 2-3 versions of several lvl 7 spells etc), so the filters for shopping might let some scrolls "slip thru". If that happens, please let me know and I will fix it.
Also the "missing" list might show some spells that can't be learned (yet) or might not show some spells that can be learned. If you notice something like that, follow the instructions below.

If you notice any other problems, please let me know as well. If possible, copy&paste the error log from the ScrollReader3 settings folder ("My Documents\Decal Plugins\ScrollReader3\" into your message (if one was written).

== Instructions for the "missing" spell list being incorrect ==

If you notice any spells in the "missing" list that can't be learned, please make an XML export for the school and level (to keep it small), find the "offending" spell in the export (please compare Name and FriendlyName), copy the whole <SpellInfo>...</SpellInfo> block and post it here or drop me a PM.
If you don't want to wait for me to make a new release, open the spellinfo.xml inside the directory you installed ScrollReader3 to, find the spell in there (best to search for the Id, spell names are far from unique) and change <isLearnable>true</isLearnable> to <isLearnable>false</isLearnable>.

If the "missing" list is not showing a lvl 7 or 8 spell you absolutely know it should show, please let me know as well. If you have it learned on another character, log to that character, type in "/sr3 dumpbook" (ATTENTION: THIS MIGHT MAKE YOUR CLIENT HANG FOR A FEW SECONDS, SO ONLY DO IN A SAFE PLACE!), open the file "spellbook SERVER CHARNAME.xml" in the settings folder of ScrollReader3, find the spell in there and send me the whole <SpellInfo> block.

Ok, I found some issues with the "missing" list on characters who are missing a lot of the life transfer spells (mana2health etc). I am working on a fix, shouldnt take long.

Known Bug in 1.5.2:
Under certain conditions Decals SpellBook (Core.CharacterFilter.Spellbook for the devs) seems to get "stuck", which leads to a) learning to fail and b) the missing spell list not getting shorter if you refresh it after learning a spell. I am currently unsure if this is a bug in ScrollReader3 or in Decal itself.

If any decal or plugin dev has an idea what is going wrong, I wouldn't mind a hint
(The source of 1.5.2 is same as for 1.5.1 so the URL is http://svn.ranta.info/repos/decaldev/tags/ScrollReader3-1.5.1/ if you want to take a look)

Just getting a chance to provide feedback after use of the most recent version.

LOVE IT.

Both the original purpose of learning and buying scrolls plus the new what's still required for level 8's work as they are supposed to, great job Lino, Thanks.

One thing I miss, feature wise, is seeing how many players are logged into the server. I used to have on the old computer a Plugin called Players Online which seems to have had it website disappear. It didn't even have a presence on the decal bar, I would think it's be easy enough to add, probably with a option button to turn it off and on.

I believe you are thinking of Population Filter that does what you describe already. I've been using it for years now. http://acdev.sourceforge.net/
