Ion: Macaroon Macro Grabber

[Maul]

I just uploaded a new addon to help migrate macros from Macaroon to Ion here:

Ion: Macaroon Macro Grabber

I highly recommend loading it at least once if you plan to use Ion (Macaroon's successor) in Mists of Pandaria. Macaroon will not be officially updated for MoP.

maybe ONE last update, to make the macro transfer easier.

Well, I was thinking of making a dummy addon called "Macaroon" that will load the saved data so MMG can scan it, but it would not create any bars or buttons.

Did you ever make that dummy plugin? I am sure there are TONS of macarooners that didnt know this ION switch was coming until yesterday when we were left with no more action bars

Is there any way we can import our old settings/bars into the current ION beta?

I am working on it. I am a bit behind my own personal schedule as far as Ion goes, as well as Blizzard releasing 5.0.4 a bit sooner than I expected. My goal is to have a viable means to import macros to Ion from Macaroon data, as well as perhaps bar position.

There are some things that are not compatible between Macaroon and Ion that will not translate. I will know better when we get closer to Mists release.

I'm glad I found this thread before creating my own to ask about it.

Would you mind putting some info on the Ion front page about migrating from Macaroon to Ion? (as in, it's coming, folks! or a link to the addon to do so)

I just reloaded WoW after a long period away and I'm struggling to remember my button layout/keybinds which I know are stored in Macaroon, to remake them in Ion. I realise that not everything will be transferrable as you said, but position, keybind, and macro would be plenty to get most people started, then they could work out the states and whatnot from there, if needs be.

Looks like I'm going to have to make a new layout, heh.

Cheers for the great work and effort Maul!
