Windower Dev 4.6.3.6 / Hook 4.6.4.0 - Multiple Personality Edition



Some new functionalities that I am personally quite happy about:

Hook


When launched through Windower, POL no longer has the limit of 4 accounts stored. The new limit is 20. When launched without Windower, POL still lets you access the extra accounts but goes back to not letting you add anymore.


Luacore


Two new addon API calls are available:
Code
windower.ffxi.move_item(source, destination, slot, count)
Moves an item from the specified source bag to the specified destination bag. Slot is the slot in the source bag where the item exist. Count is how many items to move, and is optional.

Code
windower.ffxi.stack_items(bag_id)
Stacks items in the specified bag.



Itemizer


Itemizer now supports the //move and //moves commands, that enable movement of items from one bag directly to another, to align with the (relatively new) ability of the game client to do the same thing natively. At the moment, it does not work with Mog House-only bags when close to Nomad Moogles, that will be for a future patch.
Syntax:
Code
//move <item> [source bag] <destination bag> [count]
//moves <item> [source bag] <destination bag>
item name and destination bag are obligatory.
source bag is optional. If not specified, Itemizer will pull from all available bags until count is reached.
count is optional. If not specified, defaults to 1. "all" can be used to move all available items
//moves implies a count of "all" (like for puts and gets)


Gearswap


The export system has been overhauled, and it now supports the following commands (in bold are the new ones):

  • filename|file|f <name of file> - save to the specified filename.
    Ex: "//gs export f drkTP" will export to Charactername_drkTP.lua

  • setname|name|n <name of set> - saves the exported set with the specified name instead of sets.exported.
    Eg: "//gs export name Engaged" will name the exported set "sets.Engaged".

  • inventory|inv|i - will export all items contained in inventory

  • all - will export all items owned by the current character

  • wearable - will export all equippable item owned by the current character

  • sets|set - will export all sets stored in the currently loaded gearswap profile

  • noaugments|noaugs - will not export augments for any item at all

  • onlyaugmented|onlyaugs - will only export augmented items and ignore non-augmented ones (mostly useful in combination with "all")

  • mini|minify - will export the new set in a single line (no newlines)

  • compact - will export the set in a multi-column table (see example below)

  • bgwiki - will export the set in the format used by BG-Wiki, so it can be copied directly into, for example, a guide

  • copy|clipboard - will export the set directly to clipboard, skipping the saving to file entirely.

  • mainjob - will put the main job shorthand in the filename

  • mainsubjob - will put both main and sub job shorthands in the filename

  • overwrite - will overwrite existing files with the same name



The changes are currently only on the dev branch, but a live branch will happen SoonTM.

As usual, stay on-topic in the thread, but do report any bug or quirks that you encounter. Cheers!

Help! I was using the key friction from guest logging into 16 accounts to heat water and then used the hot water to make instant noodles. Now it is more convenient to log into my alts, but can't eat my hoard of dry noodles.

Please re-enable POL heating!

Has this been released yet, or am I reading it wrong?

Back in February, windower updated and that update broke certain things for me, as I reported here back then. I lost all visual elements from plugins and addons outside the text log and could not see the console text.
As of this update, I'm happy to report that it's been fixed. I can once again see the console text and use addons that have visual elements outside the text log. I don't know if the windower team was finally able to nail the issue or if this is simply a happy coincidence, but either way, thank you.

Yes, I uninstalled Windows Update 25H2, probably the first time I uninstalled/rolled-back a Windows update in ~20 years.

For me, it was this, which is a part of 25H2:
2025-11 Security Update (KB5068861) (26200.7171)

After I rolledback, everything went back to normal (minus some new flickering in POL's login screen ...but I can live with that for now if means I can have alt+tab working again).

We have not. there is a thread in the support channel on our discord for discussing the "console issue" the last attempted fix was changing how windower selects a font, which seemed to fix the issue for some people but not others.

Code
windower.ffxi.move_items(source, destination, slot, count)

I'm really sorry for being a pedantic arse here, but shouldn't this be item, and not items?

depends on if a stack of crystals is an item or items (hence why it has a "count" arg)

you can change the windower setting that disallows the windows key, this will impact what you can key binds you can do with the windows key, but the end result is no weird alt tab behavior on any windows 11 version.'

if you use windows key for binds heavily i would suggest using the switch focus addon to switch between boxes.
