Feature Request: Option to Export and Import Configured Settings #715

Open dishanagalawatta opened 2 months ago

dishanagalawatta commented 2 months ago

Hello,

I have been using Ditto software and have found it to be an incredibly useful tool. However, I noticed that there is currently no built-in feature to easily transfer configured settings from one computer to another. This functionality would be highly beneficial for users who work across multiple machines or are migrating to a new system.

Proposed Feature:

Export Settings: An option to export all configured settings, including keyboard shortcuts, clipboard history settings, appearance preferences, and any other customizations to a file. Import Settings: A complementary option to import these settings from a file on another computer, allowing users to quickly and easily replicate their Ditto environment. Benefits:

Streamlines the process of setting up Ditto on a new machine. Reduces the manual effort of reconfiguring settings. Enhances user experience, especially for those who frequently switch between devices. Possible Implementation:

Include "Export Settings" and "Import Settings" options in the File or Settings menu. Allow users to save the settings in a commonly used format (e.g., JSON or XML). Thank you for considering this feature request. I believe it would add significant value to Ditto for many users.
