Feature description
I was hoping to export my settings for this app for safe keeping so that I don't have to recreate them manually later, but I'm not finding a way to do so in the interface. Things like app colors, favorite directories, date and time format, etc. in the "Settings" panel, though also hopefully things like "Use for this folder only" data (for custom sort/view types). (I realize an import feature may be non-trivial to implement, as it would have to gracefully handle situations where certain directories might not exist when imported.)
Why do you want this feature?
I like to back up such settings (into specific directories that I sync to the cloud) for frequently used Android apps, in case I switch phones later, or my phone breaks (happened a while back), so that I don't have to manually redo that work later. Such settings backups are also useful to re-import if needing to temporarily uninstall the app.
