FreeBagSlots shows the number of bag slots which are free and/or the total number of bag slots. It can show this for individual bags, or for the sum of all of your (carried) bags. It can include special purpose bags in the total or disregard them.
Given that the latest file I've uploaded is Ultimor's except for the WoW client version number, here's his Description, also:
-What?-
Displays number of free and/or total slots per bag or globally with minimal memory and resource usage.
-Why?-
Because I almost ripped my eyes out when I realized how much memory the original Free Bag Slots actually used.
The original by sarf (KiB usage and seconds to load):
["mem"] = 1371,
["time"] = 0.1009999999951106,
["name"] = "FreeBagSlots",
sfbs (1.2) by me:
["mem"] = 27,
["time"] = 0.004000000073574483,
["name"] = "sfbs",
Source of load data: Warmup (addon by Tekkub)
(note: values are of course not static, and changes on every load, also depending on both system and other addons, etc.)
In summary, if you liked FreeBagSlots but don't have unlimited memory, this addon is probably for you.

-Other-
Almost forgot, thanks to Eternalight (of EU-Sunstrider) who tested random crap I sent while I didn't have an active wow-account, almost everything has been rewritten since though.
Another thank you to Darkrunner (also of EU-Sunstrider) who tested the soul bag support for me.
This addon should be compatible with any wow-client (including KR), but it's slash-commands are currently only available in English.
DO NOTE however, that the ammo/quiver option probably does NOT work until proper localization strings has been entered into sfbs\localization.lua
-Known issues-
None reported.
[09/14/09]
I did not write any of the program for SleekFreeBagSlots (also known as FreeBagSlots and sfbs in the WoW addons folder) and do not deserve any credit for it. I am simply managing it while it is working. All the credit goes to the original authors noted above who wrote this addon and fixed it.
This is going to be my first addon management, so if it breaks, I may not be able to fix it. I will not be able to fix any compatibility problems at this time. I just wanted to take this addon out of the "Abandon" category since I still use it and like it over all the others that I have found, and seeing the downloads for it, it looks like others like it too.
I will gladly accept the help of any experienced addon author should a fix be needed, for which credit will be given.
I messaged Ultinor and at this time he has no plans of coming back. I have not received any reply from zorched as of the date of this edit.
This update is purely to show it works with WoW 3.2, no programming changes otherwise.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.
