Multiple, named favorites sets

Originally suggested on CurseForge (comment 7431365) by naughty_goldwasser42:

I love this addon so much. A suggestion for future enhancement . . . I love to match my pets to my transmog (like all green for fel outfits, etc.). Any chance we could have multiple lists of saved favorites (like "fel" as a list)? Or maybe you can summon favorites by dominant colors in the pet's design?

Any way, thanks for keeping this awesome add-on always up-to-date!!

Well, currently we have two lists of favorites: global, and per-char.

Detection of predominant colors of pets

is impossible, i.e. we need a database for the color per pet.

We have almost 2000 pets, who would do that work? On top of that, green is not equal fel green, how should we define the color? Average color value of a pet and then matching with some proximity algorithm? Explicit attributes like green, fel green, almost green, … I guess you see the problems (and amounts of work) with this…

Multiple favorite sets (lists):

Actually this is a thing I thought about already. 2 years ago, and then dropped it because I didn’t see that the benefit would ever outweigh the bloat. Well, with your idea to match pets against transmogs, I might reconsider…

This could be done in a similar fashion as the per-char favs are implemented right now (extending it or being a subset). E.g. you create a new favs set with /pw new Fel, then you select your favs in the PJ. The actually displayed fav marks in the PJ would depend on which set is currently active. Plus some additional UI stuff: /pw list favsets, /pw del <favset>, /pw load <favset>, etc. Should it be per-char or global? Global I guess.

This is just brainstorming, not promising anything right now.

Thanks for the suggestion.
