FindAll : Repeated item instances (Question/Request)

Hi, I want to ask if there is a way to do a search that shows only items that appear multiple times in different bags and excludes those that don't. Say I have many items that for one reason or another are scattered across many characters/bags, could I do a custom search that showed those unspecified items that repeated without showing those that don't?

In a fashion similar to this:

//findAll multiple

findAll: ItemA (4 instances)

findAll: CharA/sack ItemA (12)

findAll: CharA/sack ItemA (5)

findAll: CharA/inventory ItemA (3)

findAll: CharB/sack ItemA (6)

findAll: ItemB (3 instances)

findAll: CharA/sack ItemB

findAll: CharC/storage ItemB (2)

findAll: CharD/safe ItemB

findAll: ItemC (2 instances)

findAll: CharA/inventory ItemC (10)

findAll: CharD/safe ItemC (4)

Etc.

And if there isn't could it be implemented? It would save so much time when consolidating Inventory.

Shouldn't be too hard to add but it would really be better as a separate addon. In fact, I believe I saw something like that written before somewhere. There is a MHCleaner addon, but I have no idea what it does, might be worth checking out.

I couldn't find it, but it would be great if something like this exists already.

Hello Humetaru,

I made the following lua script that uses findAll's storage.json (and currently places the output in the same directory). It uses the storage.json and flips the data around a bit, to become a table of items to users, then to their storages (so it'll identify if the data is stored in a character's mog safe and also some in the satchel, etc..

Depending on where you drop the script file, you may need to adjust the line to change the number of ../ put in front of the filenames:

1. local relative_depth_to_addons_findAll = '../../..'

The script was thrown together quickly based on a python script (that I then realized I couldn't easily get the item names with), so it might have some extra stuff in it. Also it doesn't just find multiples, but everything right now. I have a couple of adjustments I'd like to make, but it should get the job done.
