Export settings #427

I love this app! I have it set up on my Windws PC, but I need to set it up on my MacBook. Is there a way for me to export my chat settings so that I don't have to add them all over again on the Mac?

This feature is not implemented yet.

However, settings are stored in JSON format in a file within your operating system user's directory.

In case of Windows this usually is C:\Users\$yourUserName\.electronim\settings.json.

In Mac usually is /home/$yourUserName/.electronim/settings.json.

You can easily copy the file from one system to the other, or if you feel confident enough even merge them together (the JSON structure is pretty straight-forward and self-explanatory).
