Like any command line mod, you can put commands in macros.
I have a group in place for gems. Several people manage the different colors differently. I would use a macro like this:
/ktq queue 5 solid sky saphire
/ktq queue 2 forest emerald
/ktq queue 3 monarch topaz
/ktq queue 6 scarlet ruby
Now looking at this, you can do the same thing for other professions.
/ktq queue 20 netherweave bag
/ktq queue 5 frostweave bag
Another feature it provides is adding bonus items for those that sell out. Its a simple feature and here is another way to do that.
/ktq queue 3 glyphs
/ktq queue 14 glyphs
It will queue up for items that you have less then 3 of and then it will do the same for a stack of 14. So the result is if something sells out, it will queue up 17 of them. If you have 1 it will queue up 15 for you.
/ktq queue 3 glyphs
/ktq queue 14 glyphs
Is this the function from Zekta?

Yes, Zekta has been using my script for a while. when I saw Zekta talk about crafting more for the ones that sold the most, I thought of this trick to do the same things.
Zekta did edit the script to do it in one pass, my way is a little more generic and lets you adjust it quickly for different markets.

Can't wait to try the new addon KevMar, and I've been benefiting from Skillet_Istat as well. I use the carpet bomb approach for glyphs as well, normally crafting anything LSW says is worth more than 6g. If I wanted to maintain a stack of 4 of every glyph to sell each day, what would my ktq function be?
/ktq queue glyphs 4? Would this take into account the inventory numbers obtained through altoholic? Thanks so much for your help!

/ktq enable threshold
/ktq set threshold 6g
/ktq queue 4 glyphs
It does use altoholic numbers just like the Skillet_IStat. So this command should do exactly what you are doing by hand.

You rock! can't wait

Hey Kev,
Excellent addon. Question for ya: is there a way to have the mod queue up, for example, epic gems with a set profit margin threshold? I.e., I'd like to queue up all the epic gems in Skillet that will make me at least a 15% profit from buying the raw mats. Thanks!
Comment by Cheeler — September 14, 2009 @ 3:00 pm
Not directly. You could look at the raw gems and make the threshold 15% higher.
/ktq enable threshold
/ktq set threshold 150g
/ktq queue 1 king's amber
/ktq set threshold 170g
/ktq queue 1 ametrine
/ktq set threshold 130g
/ktq queue 1 dreadstone
Something like that would work after you did the math. I cannot remove all the work out of it, but I do save a good deal of it.

Hey Kev, tried your command just now:
/ktq queue 4 glyphs (the 2 before it worked well)
Ended up with this LUA error:
Message: ..\AddOns\KevTool Queue\KevTool Queue.lua line 211:
attempt to call method 'QueueCommandIterate' (a nil value)
Any suggestions? Thanks!

track down and install the lilsparky's version of skillet
Comment by KevMar — September 14, 2009 @ 11:31 pm
Oh, this makes my head hurt!
What CAN this do, exactly? I'd love to try using it, I'm in the glyph industry myself ^^

Also, I can't seem to get skillet to work properly. It doesn't have a 'buy reagent' button thingy at the vendor, although the settings say it should. And how can you queue multiple things in there?
Comment by swift1911 — September 15, 2009 @ 2:04 pm
I've updated my skillet to the latest off of wowace.com, and have the latest altoholic and the Skillet_Istat from the other day. However I still get error messages when trying to queue glyphs with /ktq, using the latest kevtool from curse.

I think I'm just a moron but so far I haven't deciphered exactly what your mod does..
Comment by mike — September 18, 2009 @ 5:19 pm
You need to get specifically the lilsparky's branch of skillet for it to work properly. From here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/skillet/repositories/lilsparkys-clone/files/
What it does is let you maintain a spercific stock level of certain items. In my case i use it to help me maintain a stock of at least 3 of each glyph which sells for more than 10 gold.
I have it set up as follows:
/ktq enable threshold
/ktq set threshold 10g
/ktq queue 3 glyphs
This will add to my skillet queue any glyphs which i have less than 3 of(either on the AH, on an alt or in the bank/bags).
Love it Kev

@Stewart
When you get some time free, would you mind sending a copy of that actual zip file of the lilsparky-clone of skillet via email?
The wowace repository (http://www.wowace.com/addons/skillet/repositories/lilsparkys-clone/files) and curse sites are showing a 500 http error.
If you wouldn't mind, just shoot it to bwtjunk@gmail.com.
Thanks!
