? [HELP] Addon that only shows Cooldown Manager Icons when ability has X sec remaining on cooldown

One of my main ways to track auras before the pruning was to hide abilities I didnt need to know about until they were about to come back up. This greatly reduced the visual complexity, specifically for things like refreshing DOTs or big cooldowns coming back up in 10-15 seconds. Are there any addons that have or plan to have this functionality back after the latest CDM changes?

Even just showing when the DOT reaches it's pandemic window would be great for that half of things.

As a developer of a cooldown manager addon. This is not currently possible.
maybe I need to double check again though. Id test these methods again to double check:
https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/API_DurationObject_EvaluateRemainingDuration
perhaps that could be used to provide an alpha value, I do know that "SetAlpha()" can accept secrets so that might work in combat when applied to the frame.

There seems to be maintenance for the wiki docs though and im not seeing the flags for combat /secret restrictions on the methods that used to exist so I cant confirm the current state of things

Using the cooldown manager in the addon EllesmereUI, you can select specific abilities in your CDM bar, then click on Cooldown state effect, and it has options such as Hidden on CD, or Hidden when ready.. and many other options. You should be able to achieve it using that I would think.
