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 AP

I was curious about two possible features:
1. The ability to save/load specific action bars, not just all of them globally. This would help a lot for keeping specific bars identical on both specs of a character. I often times update a bar on one spec and then need to switch specs and do the same, else they are not identical.
2. Possibly the ability to flag a profile for auto save/load on a per character/spec basis. This ability could also extend to suggestion 1 for auto save/load of specific bars instead of all bars. I imagine it works as so: Autosaves when ACTIONBAR_SLOT_CHANGED is fired. It then uses a savedvariable to record the timestamp of when the change occured. This timestamp is used as a reference point for the auto-restore feature to compare against the time stamp it records for the last time it loaded the profile. This is used to avoid unecessary restores. Auto-Restore checks can run on specific events like spec changes, and enter world events.
Anyways, I'm dreaming a little here, always on the pursuit of perfection from an addon. This one however, works as advertised and is wonderful. The above features would just be added bonuses. Thanks for your consideration and work on this addon.

Any thoughts about making a small GUI for it, perhaps to list the saved profiles graphically, or to allow for automatic loading when your spec changes?
