Action Bar Saver 2   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Quick little mod, allows you to setup different profiles for your action bars. Mainly this is for hybrid classes that want to be able to respec without spending 10-20 minutes setting their action bars up. All you do is type /abs save <name> and it'll save the location of all your spells, macros and items.

For example, if you're currently a Feral Druid you can type /abs save feral then you can respec to Resto and setup your bars, then type /abs save resto once you go respec back to Feral you can then train all your spells again and type /abs restore feral and you'll get your feral setup without all the work of actually finding where you placed things.

Works with any custom interface like Bongos provided you're not using more then the standard 120 action buttons, ones that provided features to go past 120 will cause only the standard 120 to be saved/restored. This isn't a bug however, just a limitation in the WoW API

* Agh stop complaining
Author: Shadowed <shadowed.wow@gmail.com>

Date: Sun Apr 5 16:04:50 2009 +0000
* fixed spellRAnk typo

Date: Sat Apr 4 22:25:04 2009 +0000
* Whoops, TOC is supposed to be 30100 not 31000
* Stripped the old Action Bar Saver -> Action Bar Saver 2 conversion code it's been almost a year "should" be fine
* Stripped all of the companion saving for 3.0, it doesn't work half the time and is ugly anyway
* Removed localization.deDE.lua and localization.frFR.lua not like I ever use them
* Actually stripped Ace3 so SVN would commit
* Changed companion saving to use the new Blizzard functions that actually work (And only took like 6 months to work)
* Cleaned up some code in general to be less ugly and weird in general
* Updated TOC to 3.1
* Stripped Ace3, can't remember why I added it in the first place

Date: Thu Jan 8 22:10:31 2009 +0000
* Added debug code if the companion scanning fails, hopefully this will let me narrow down whats causing it to happen (HOPEFULLY)

Date: Mon Jan 5 04:16:33 2009 +0000
* Added support for AddonLoader

Date: Sun Jan 4 17:10:09 2009 +0000
* Added an option to restore the actual spell rank saved, instead of defaulting to the highest rank (/abs rank, restores highest rank by default)

Date: Sun Nov 23 17:02:46 2008 +0000
* Added a check to prevent profiles from being restored in combat
* Since down ranking was removed, we don't really benefit from having lower ranks of spells restored, meaning it will now default to restoring the highest rank, and if that fails it'll restore the rank saved

Date: Thu Oct 30 22:05:14 2008 +0000
* Fixed an issue with saving profiles as a Paladin or Warlock because Blizzard likes inconsistencies because they're evil bastards
* Updated libraries
* Updated TOC
* Removed build 30000 checks

Date: Sun Sep 21 18:32:22 2008 +0000
* Fixed one button in the restore failing if you had an action on the cursor when you started a restore
* Updated AceDB-3.0
* Changed the macro check to 36 global/18 character since Blizzard lied apparently
* Added a work around for companions not returning a valid GetActionInfo
* Stripped out AceConfig, AceDBOptions, AceEvent, AceGUI, as I can't think of any case I'm going to use these in the future

Date: Sun Sep 7 20:54:48 2008 +0000
* Apparently blizzard didn't up the per character macros to 36 yet, so removed that check
* Fixed /abs macro and /abs count not giving the correct response and always saying disabled

Date: Sun Aug 31 22:09:37 2008 +0000
* Should mostly work with WoTLK now, just need to add mount/companion parts in
* Added Bazaar support

Date: Sun Aug 3 04:21:56 2008 +0000
* Fixed macro check, only does it if we find a macro we need to restore
* Fixed /abs macro not actually working and letting you disable it
* Added spell linking, this is very basic and for general substitution like if you have a Tauren Druid and a Night Elf Druid, you can set it up so if it can't find War Stomp it uses Shadow Meld in it's place and vica versa.

Date: Fri Jul 4 23:57:43 2008 +0000
* Fixed a bug with the DB upgrade possibly erroring
* Fixed the class categories not being filled in unless you had upgraded in the first place

Date: Thu Jul 3 23:42:45 2008 +0000
* Fixed profile list not working correctly due to DB profiles

Date: Wed Jun 25 17:37:47 2008 +0000
* Fixed spells not being restored if they were the max ranks
* Fixed /abs delete not deleting unknown profiles
* Cleaned up the restore code slightly
* Added /abs rename old new for renaming profiles, also will move them to your current classes category

Date: Fri Jun 20 23:44:59 2008 +0000
* Moved ABS to Ace3 to clean up the code a bit more, game restart IS required
* Slash command is still /abs
* Added /abs count toggles checking if you have an item in your inventory before restoring, may need this enabled on this like Arena Tournament Realm to prevent disconnecting issues
* Cleaned up the storage format, we now store profiles per class so you can use names like pve/pvp for different class sets without issues, you can now also only restore sets that were saved on that class
* Improved the code in general, saving, restoring, adding macros and such are all less ugly and good things like that

Date: Sun May 18 00:23:11 2008 +0000
* Added a quick check to string format for macroID to prevent a nil error
* Fixed a bug in macro searching, will actually search for macros now if they go missing or the ID changed

Date: Wed Apr 16 18:06:11 2008 +0000
* Oops, left debug code in. Won't spam spell names anymore.

Date: Tue Apr 15 20:45:16 2008 +0000
* Added a quick hack in to prevent things with : in them from causing format issues

Date: Thu Apr 3 22:58:27 2008 +0000
* Updated our restore logic, it appears with 2.4 Blizzard changed the way dynamic icon macros are done so it'll specifically say the macro to the last known icon. Because we don't seem to be able to pull out if it's a dynamic icon macro or not, will just stop using it for identification

I use the Ingame Equipment Manager, having the Sets on my Bars, so i can easily change my gear.
It would be nice, if ABS would save & restore these, too.

Has keybinding support been added to this addon yet? Or is there an addon that I could get to save my keybindings already in place and change them with the option of restoring them to how they were previously?

Get out of combat. It's the only possibility.
Blizzard does not allow to shuffle buttons in combat.
If you REALLY want to change more than one bar at a time when shifting forms, use Bartender4 (for example)

Thumbs down <3<3<3

I love Action Bar Saver.
I play a mage, and as such, on all of my pve specs I use the same buttons setup [minus erm.. like a 5 button difference]. I've always hated having to move all the buttons around on my dual spec to match my main spec, and if I don't do it, I get lost. This has saved me at least 3 hours [altogether, counting all the respecs/bar placements/etc I've done since I've downloaded it] of work getting my specs to match.
I also have a separate save for my pvp specs.

Palad... DK... :x and Shadow Priest. Always found my bars lacking something when I respec or Blizzard "blizz it up" (DK talents has been reset several times, which made me very sad panda).

Very much looking forward to keybind support. Nevertheless, excellent addon.

Extremely extremely minor but:

I modified my local copy so 'load' was the same as 'restore', because save/load is what my mind thinks of rather than save/restore, and it's faster.

/abs load mimiron
/abs load vezax
/abs load freya

You've made my life so simple these days when I have different hotkeys and specs for each hardmode (and have to remember to switch between fire ward and frost ward.)

Could you add the possibility of making macro conditionals?
Cause I have a 1 button respec/equip and I would like to see something like this:

/abs restore [spec:1] Destro; [spec:2] Demo
