What problems are you seeing with EnhTooltip? I’m running the latest EnhTooltip here (with Auctioneer) and not having any issues… are you sure you’ve got the latest versions of all my mods? This is now at 1700.6, and AdSpace and Disenchant Predictor (which previously used EnhTooltip but don’t anymore) are at 1700.4.

Feed-O-Matic uses pattern matching on the buff description to detect when you’re mounted (testing the icon name for the buff isn’t enough, as the same icons used for some mounts are also used for other buffs, like Aspect of the Pack). I don’t have the budget to test all possible mounts — if you’re seeing it still feeding while mounted, please let me know what mount you’re using.

Avoiding auto-feeding while in water is tricky — there’s no way for the UI scripting environment to know that you’re swimming. I’ve got an idea or two for how to deal with this problem or at least work around it, but it’ll take some time to implement and test. For now I’d suggest turning auto-feeding off if you’re planning any extended aquatic excursions.

Couple of errors I’ve noticed:

Thanks again!

FeedOMatic.lua:224:attempt to call global ‘GFWTooltip_AddCallback’ (a nil value)

I don’t see GFWTooltip_AddCallback defined anywhere!!!

Btw. your other mods that I used to use as well seem to break the new version of EnhTooltip - I know you mentioned something about EnhTooltip being a problem, it seems as if it goes both ways then :(
