I know the idea is to not need to so this, but...

As we get new versions, bug fixes happen, and we sometimes lose different window and key bindings.

It would be really helpful if we could export the settings to a file and import them back in - without fighting the game for where it happens to save those settings in some OS specific place.

If it were an import function, it could also translate any new or changed functions - or at least tell us which ones are new or can't be translated - rather than just being flat incompatible.

This might help those of us who want to play on different monitors, maybe? I have to spend time tweaking the UI (although the new one is nicer to this in some aspects) when we change resolutions.

Lastly, it would help us get to testing faster.

This could be done outside the game. I could write a tool that can save / restore these files, and let you name them. However, you would have the restart the game for changes to take.

How many people are interested? What else would you like it to do?

That would be awesome, but I'd really want it to be platform independent. I swap between Mac and PC frequently, and have four monitor resolutions depending upon where I'm playing. (Laptop, Desktop, Streaming, TV)

Right now I'm doing it manually and in this last update my files weren't compatible. x-x
