Hi Silencer2k. Everytime I load a profile (it sets the macros, that's working). But for a macro with /castsequence you take the "Red ? Icon". But if you load a macro, it sets a spell icon. it's not using the Red ? icon.

So basically I have to load a profile. Select the /castsequence macros, edit the icon. And I have to that for like 10 macros all the time :-\ That's kinda anoying. Any quick fix for that? Or do you need to change it in the addon itself?!

EDIT: I gave you some feature / bug reports in that comment section too. Have a look at those :)

Another "Bug" Report

If I load a profile (macros) it's not taking the icon automatically. If you create a macro with the RED ? (the first Icon in the list, left top corner). And you make a macro like this:
1. showtooltip /use [stance:2]spell1;spell2 /use [combat]spell3
This macro would show the spell1 Icon if you are in stance 2 (cat form). ELSE spell 2. This is not working with "Action Bar Profiles". After I loaded the profile I have to open the macro menu. And EDIT every macro manually (change the icon to the RED ? again). Then it's working again. Hope you can test it your own and see what I mean.

I tested the alpha version (with the macro replacements) and it works like a sharm. But I figured out some "issues" or needed features:

1. Auto load
- Being able to SET a "standard" profile for EACH spec
- IF you change the spec this profile should be loaded automatically
- IF you login (char) the profile should be loaded automatically, ONLY login not a loading screen like battleground or something
Without that mechanism the "general macros" will not be changed. This means. If I play with Demonhunter, I have "General Macros" + "Char specific macros" set. I load a that profile (manually at the moment). If I relog to my Paladin or something. I still have the "General Macros" from the Demonhunter. The automatically load profile function is really needed.

2. Profile Icon into Action Bar We should be able to put the profile into the ActionBar like you do it with normal spells / macros. So you can put:
- PvE - Destruction
- PvP - Destruction
on the right SideBar to click it once to switch between both. If you change your spec / login you load "PvE - Destruction" automatically. If you want to play PvP you click on the PVP-Icon on the right and you load all the PvP Macros and stuff into your Action Bars :) We should be able to select an ICON for the profile too.

3. Icon at the minimap If would be cool to being able to "select" or "add" new profiles at this point too. You can see this behaviour in another addons called: Profiles: Action Bar + Profiles: Macros See Links:
- https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/profiles-action-bars
- https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/profiles-macros
This is only optional. But still would be nice to have.

EDIT:

See: http://i.imgur.com/007W0I8.png The + is above the profiles. But in the Armor Sets the + is BELOW the Armor-Sets. If you can put the + below the profiles too :)

Ok, seems working so far :) If you want (can) check out this addons: - https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/profiles-action-bars - https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/profiles-macros

You only need those two. If you add this addons you get a little "horde symbol" on your minimap. If you click on it, you can create a "New: Profile" or just simply click the listed profiles. This is much easier to change / switch then open the char stat window. Perhaps you add this "drop down menu" with the profiles to the minimap too? Just as an extra enable feature in the addon settings. NOT really needed to be honest.

BUT this should be implemented: 1. It should be possible to change the ICON of the profile 2. The Profile Icon should be able to be in the action bar

Why is this important?! If I have 2 profiles: PvE Destruction | PvP Destruction I can put the "PVE" icon on the right side into my action bar, when I'm actually (right now) using the PvP Profile. IF I click on the PvE Profile Icon I switch to the PvE-Profile. The PvE-Icon will be replaced with my PvP-Icon (profile). So IF I click on the PvP-Icon I switch to it.

So basically I have an Icon on the right side of my action bars. I click it = PvE, if I click it again = PvP. So you can simply switch between them. I do that for every specc in the game. PvE / PvP because of the macros and stuff. Even the "Tab" is a macro so it will never tab a pet in PvP so I have different Tab Macro for PvE / PvP.

NEXT cool feature: Auto Switch Profile It would be cool if you could tell the addon to use PROFILE X when using SPEC X. So WHEN I switch to "Destruction" it loads the "PvE Destruction" Profile automatically. WHEN I switch to "Demon" it loads the "PvE Demonology" Profile. So I don't need to manually click on it. On the "right side" in the action bar. I have the "PvP-Profile-Icon" to switch to PvP-Macros. And When I'm using the PvP-Profile I have the "PvE-Profil-Icon" (which replace the PvP Icon).

1. If you change your spec it loads a Profile (PvE-Profile) 2. If I play PvP with that spec I can click on the Icon (which i put into the action bar, somewhere right or so)

hm, weird. the situation I had in mind occured as follows: I was exporting a string from beta and inserted it onto one of my characters on live. talents and even the artifact ability (which we do not even have yet) was pasted correctly. I will do some more testing and report my findings... =)

This does not work in 7.0.3:

p.s. "Зимний горн" = "Horn of Winter"

they are restored correctly now, ty!

I recently discovered this addon (https://www.wowace.com/addons/myslot/) and it is able to restore those talent-type buttons even when you've currently not talented them. any way of adopting this method for ABP? =)

Yes, this is a known issue. This happens after selecting new talent, when inactive talent still remains as spell on the action bar. There is no way to pick this talent up from the spellbook and place it to the action bar.

p.s. In the latest version your macros were restored correctly or bug still exists?
