Option #1 was essentially what I was suggesting. A checkbox for Completed and a filter to filter those out.

This looks absolutely great and I will check it out immediately. To tweak Widmore's suggestion a bit: I know that the API doesn't allow you to look into our journal to determine what quests we've finished; but a simple checkbox for "Completed" would be amazing for completionists like myself. I currently use an excel spreadsheet with a tab for each zone (yes I'm a geek); but to have something in-game would be a hundred times better. This of course would require you to store that data "Completed=Yes"/"Completed=No" on every quest in the database for every character that loads the plugin; but the benefits would be awesome.
There are only two ways that I can see being able to do this currently since the API does not let us tap into the quest tracker / log.

1) I could add a checkbox and filter that players could use in compendium to keep track themselves (not ideal)
2) The other route is not always popular amongst all players but would require a log parser, to watch for quest turn ins. When a quest is finished, parser would catch that and route it to compendium. I never plan to make Compendium dependent on out of game functionality, but this would make a great "optional" extension to it, for added functionality.

A lot of cool features could be added with this to bring us closer to a quest helper / tracker type addon. The only biggy missing would be auto-magical coordinate capturing. I've added an easy button for doing this in UI, but it still requires user to click.

Example of what we could do with log parser / coord grabbing..
i.e. player kills mob.. loots body, picks up quest item, coordinates get captured along with what dropped it and placed in compendium db.

Just submitted a 1.3.1-beta version that is a patched version that should have working dropdowns for Quest Compendium.

Baking up many new changes on the side that are almost ready for release.

I realize quest compendium dropdowns are broken with patch.. a patch will be coming soon. I would have had it last night, but I had the "engine" all torn apart and spread across garage (aka.. I started tearing up quest compendium, before realizing I'd have to do a hotpatch).

Just a status update... worked all weekend on the quest compendium. Fixed more bugs I found with data. Am in the process of parsing and normalizing supplemental data for the missing quests.

I would also like to revamp the quest api to use filters similar to item & crafting compendium, to save some room on UI. Haven't decided if that will be this upcoming release though. I may just release the better data / bug fixes.

Behind the scenes with every release is a whole lot of work. To get the data and pair it down into lua are small applications in and of themselves. I've identified several problems with the quest compendium application, that I plan to fix. This should greatly affect what gets presented in the UI in terms of data shown for quests (I wasn't showing all the data I could have).

My plan is to have this resolved and working for next release, as well as try to get many of the missing quests added in. Again a bit thanks to all of you that have submitted missing quest information. This helps in identifying and testing why we aren't getting the data, and a good benchmark for testing when I've plugged the holes.

Thank you for taking the time to post and show support!

I'd be all for doing deed compendium. The problem I'm having is the information available on deeds is pretty sparse. I'll keep looking.

New version of compendium released tonight. This release was a big one. The big thing to note in this release is the addition of the Crafting Compendium. I tried very hard to meet many of the requests sent my way. If you do not see an improvement in this release, please do not give up. We'll get there!

Thank you for all your input and support!
