The lack of simplicity is not an sufficient antecedent form making everything, related, simplistic.

Consider me as more of an very concerned father figure towards EVE's well being:
red eyes, frothing at the mouth, wielding a dented bat.
Yet this is just text that does not scream...
Nor do I wield any malice nor loath...
And I am very thankfull for being asked of my opinion towards said case.
Lets not go overboard with this "exportation of settings" :
Would not generating this "export import" feature,
causes us to take an already flawless system,
hack it to pieces,
to that end of,
making it more "player whinnying" compatible.
All that is really needed is an "load configuration file" button. [ ( local file , and of course save button) ]
A button that would be inside of "esc->Shortcuts" 's lower right corner,
along side the button "Defaults".
I must protest and warn you away from something / anything along the lines of:
Going all " Adrian!! " -- quoting rocky (don't forget the theme song)
on the "new incoming system feature"
with the result of creating an failed monstrosity that is an
encrypted server that:
manages passwords,
protects content,
demands an entire crew to "upkeep",
"with respect" [insert any idea that is on this forum's post] ,
etc etc.
So ofcrouse, 2 months into the development . . . (of said monstrosity)
we never could stare our own egos down, and
admit our mistake; thus,
we would scrap the entire [old/pre-existing] "settings system",
just to make it "adaptable and simplistic" enough to fit the new monstrosity.
Ultimately, creating an environment that is " apply face to keyboard " adaptable.
When all we really needed was a "load settings" button, inside of "esc->shortcuts",
snuggling away beside the button "default".
