[Bug 794535] [NEW] Method of exporting/importing settings

 

Public bug reported:

Currently there is no easy non-registry way of backing up, or
transferring settings between two Windows machines or between two
machines running different operating systems. OS X, Linux and Windows
all store the settings differently.

Although it is relatively easy to re-create most settings data, items
like Display Tags for example are somewhat more time consuming to re-
create if the user can even remember which ones existed. This example is
where I just noticed the problem, after transferring the Custom database
to my home PC and noticing the tags didn't exist.

Therefore an Import/Export settings option would be helpful.
