probaly happened to anybody before.
you forgot to update your overview settings/went on a break.
come back, and overview settings all gone. yes, i've 5 accounts. so that's 5 times fixing the overview settings.
but i've also 2 computers, so that's 10 times the overview settings (i went on a break, came back, overview settings gone).
old backup doesn't work because of the number of updates after i took the break.
so would it possible to export the overview settings to a, dunno, excel file(?) and then import it on another character/other computer.
apart from it saving me about 5 hours work (complex overview settings). i don't see any downpart.

Sounds like a good idea to me, and hopefully very simple to implement. Supported!

This sounds simple to code in; a small import/export button. Export will export the current overview settings into a small file [Heck, even making it a text dump wouldn't be so difficult.]. Then you could import that file.
Not only useful for people using multiple accounts and computers, but for Corporations and Alliances that want to offer efficient overviews for certain operations, or for inventive pilots to make their own settings and post on the forums

Not a problem I face, but I can see why that would be insanely aggravating. If the game isn't going to preserve your UI settings ( ), you should be able to for yourself.

YES
Also, stop breaking my settings with every patch so I wouldn't need to back them up in the first place.

Yep I like it, and I'd also love the ability to customize overview settings at the Alliance/Corp level so that everyone in the alliance/corp has the option to "load alliance/corp default" from the overview settings tab rather than having to individually customize.

Actually I think a simple standalone app could do this if anyone has a bit of programming knowleged. If I recall correctly, all those settings are kept in config files somewhere in the application data.
That said, adding it as an ingame feature wouldn't hurt.

An 'official' feature to do this rather than manual backups would be great, as well as saving time having to reload the backup after every major patch which insists on changing the settings location to some other random location which is less convenient that the previous one.

Seriously, we need some kind of separation between the post and signature.

Awesome idea. This opens so many more options than merely protecting your settings from CCP's bumbling autopatcher.
Experienced players in corps/alliances can make standardised overview tabs for new players.
Forum discussions on the merits of overview arrangements can actually be accompanied by example scripts.
Fleet Commanders can standardise their followers' overviews, thus able to ensure that everyone can see what they can.
Players can download and test a whole library of setups, customising to their preference instead of having to do everything from scatch for each character.
So yeah, supported 100%

Very yes!
This was mentioned a few times, but nothing has ever come from it. I think it's about time, personally.
Overview settings can be quite complex to setup, and having them cease to exist whenever a patch/reinstall/sudden-act-of-god/unfortunate-crash happens is incredibly frustrating.

Would be great!
And liked the idea of corp/ally defaults for overview (exportable also! hehe).

Great idea, often requested.
Tested fix: Take time to get your overview in order on one toon. Once it is complete you can then copy/rename char_{your toon ID}.dat and user_{the user ID).dat to the "new"/"other" toon/user ID's.
I.e. Original: char_12345678.dat & user_123456.dat copied & renamed to char_1234579.dat & user_123457.dat.
This will switch all your settings from one user/toon to another user/toon in entirety.
To Shar -verb:
1 - To say what you mean.
2 - To say what it means.
3 - To say something mean. |

Yes on Exportable Overview Settings! This is actually the one reason I don't go to the local gaming club and use their PCs to play EVE, where I also might socialize with other gamers. Going to a strange machine, wherein the one thing you don't have is your (many) overview settings, is a dealbreaker.
