Description
Your idea
A feature which would allow us to export/import Preferences.
Problem to be solved
We already can export palettes as an MPAL, Styles as an MSS and Shortcuts as an XML. Why not a means for exporting our Preferences? This way we can restore Preferences or import them into another computer.
