BiS> Memories

Takes a screenshot when something worth remembering happens, and keeps a note of what it was — so a year later the picture still means something.

No UI to learn. Install it, play, and the moments pile up in your Screenshots folder, each with a line saying why — then open the album and click through them.

What sets it off

• Levelling up
• A boss dying (a wipe is not a memory)
• Loot of epic quality or better
• An achievement
• Your own death
• Winning a duel
• Walking into a zone you have never seen
• Going exalted
• One candid a week — an unposed picture at a random moment while you play, never on login

Each one is a switch: /memories off boss.

The note is the point

Every shot records the reason, the zone, your level, who was in the group, and the filename the client wrote, so a picture in Screenshots can always be matched to its moment.

The album (0.3.0)

The addon folder carries AlbumBiSMemories-Album.html. Double-click it, point it at your Screenshots folder, and it becomes an album you click through — full size on click, arrow keys to move, grouped by day. Hand it the addon's saved file as well and every picture it took carries its story: the zone, your level, and why it was worth a picture.

Nothing is uploaded and nothing is installed. No server, no internet — your browser reads the files off your own disk. It asks you to pick the folder because a web page is not allowed to wander your drive, which is a good thing. AlbumREADME.txt says the same in longer words.

The journal (0.2.0)

/memories journal opens what happened, in game: newest first, the wheel to walk back, Escape to close. A memory taken while it is open appears in front of you. It shows the notes, not the pictures — an addon cannot draw a .jpg from the Screenshots folder on any client — but each entry carries its filename so the picture on disk still matches the night.

Commands

/memories — the last ten · /memories all — the lot · /memories journal — the window · /memories heard — what the camera was told since login and what never arrived · /memories sound — the shutter click on or off · /memories off <trigger>

Games

World of Warcraft: Forever and Burning Crusade Anniversary, from one TOC. Nothing it reads is hidden by Forever's lockdown. On the Forever beta the client sometimes hands back no saved variables at login — the journal says so in words rather than looking broken.
