About Pet Selector
Pet Selector
Pet Selector is designed to help Hunters choose the best pet from the ones they have available when in a party or raid. Pet Selector scans the current party/raid (note: you must be within inspect range of all members for this to work properly) for buffs they could potentially provide, then, using a priority table, selects one of the Hunter's pet to fill a gap in the available buffs. If there is no gap, or if the Hunter does not have a suitable pet, Pet Selector will select a random pet.
Pet Selector can also be used outside a party/raid to select a random pet. It can also be used to call a specific pet or Pet Selector's choice using a key binding. Please note that for specific pets, key bindings are bound by pet slot not pet name, so if you tame another pet, stable one or generally do anything to change the order, the binding may change to a different pet - you'll need to recheck this through Pet Selector's menu.
Using Pet Selector
Pet Selector will place a moveable icon on your screen. When left-clicked it will force Pet Selector to rescan the party/raid or select another random pet. It will also create a macro that you can drag onto your action bar to make it easier to dismiss your current pet and summon the selected one (just keep clicking the macro). Right clicking will bring up the options screen
Pet Selector can also display a list of who can potentially provide a raid buff. The list is displayed in order of priority. Note that this is only a list of who could potentially provide the buff not who is actually providing it. This addon is not a fully featured raid buff addon - it is only interested in buffs that could be provided by Hunter pets. You can right click on someone's name in the buff window to ignore that person for that specific buff if you wish.
As of version 4.2.0.0 Pet Selector can display a list of pets capable of providing buffs that the hunter's current pets cannot provide.
Pet Selector also supports Button Facade / Masque

i am wondering if there could be a setting so the addon picks your tanking pet when you are solo. thanks for a wonderful addon. love it use it always. very helpful
There's already a ticket for this:
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/pet-selector/tickets/4-please-add-support-for-selecting-solo-pet/
which I've now started working on.
EDIT: Which is apparently yours >.<
Watch this space, I'll get an update out soon :-)
Found 2 bugs in frFR locale :
L["callmacro"] = " /cast [nopet] Appel du familier %s" should be replaced with L["callmacro"] = "/cast [nopet] Appel du familier %s"
L["Core Hound"] = "Chien de magma" should be replaced with L["Core Hound"] = "Chien du Magma"
Thanks for the report. I've fixed the /cast problem in 4.2.0.6.
You can check and correct any of the translations by going here:
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/pet-selector/localization/
Please use this link to correct any errors. When you have done that, let me know and I will force the system to make a new release with your corrections in it.
Thanks. v4.2.0.7 will contain your translations
Well, frFR translation just finished and updated :)
Whenever I have the pet out (show only in grp mode), it would say:
pet: Nil(if I didn't pull out)
pet :
and this part keeps on spamming in my chat window non-stop.
In the BuffProvider window, it shows the icon for each buff, but not all are dispalyed.
Also, the player names are all "TestPlayer" even if I am in grp/raid.
When I log into the game, I don't receive any error msg.
Are there any ways to fix this issue?
I've even tried uninstalling from curse client and re-installing. Same issues again.
It's working perfectly now! =D
In many 10-man raid situations, many of the pets that I have do not provide useful extra butts/debuffs. Would it be possible, in these situations, to get a listing of other pets (that I *don't* have) that would have useful abilities?
Then I can go and improve my raiding stable by taming different pets if the same options are always showing up.
same problem Macro is English and English isn't working on foreign Clients
