SnapshotBar2 is a new revision of SnapshotBar (which allowed you to save one set of actions bars to restore them later) adding the possibility to save many sets of bars and to name them.
It does not interfere with addons such as ag_UnitFrames or Pitbull, since it only saves an action given a slot number and not the position of the slot itself (handled by ag_uf or pitbull or whatever you use).
The purpose is to be able to save a complete set of bars for each of your talent spec. When you respec, you just use Snapshotbar2 to restore all the spells specific to the spec to the position you usually put them in your bars.
SnapshotBar2 has no graphical UI. The following commands are available :
/snap Display help
/snap save <name> Save your current set of bars with its name
/snap restore <name> Restore the set of bars given its name
/snap sets Display a list of available sets
/snap delete <name> Delete the set given its name
Issues - The following issues have been reported :
- Mount and pets are not handled (neither saved nor restored properly, but if they don't move from 2 different spec, they won't be deleted from the bars either). This is due to the way the basic function of retrieving data from an action has been implemented by Blizzard. The issue has been reported to Blizzard quite some time ago. Hopefully the new patch implementing double spec will correct that.
NOTE:
If you used an older version of the addon and if you want to keep your saved sets, you may need to rename your WTF\Account\[Your account name]\SavedVariables\SnapshotBar.lua into Snapshotbar2.lua

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.
