Export/Import for User Settings
-
I would like to use a selection base export/import function, with a list to include/exclude all item for exporting. This will make profile refresh a lot more easy.
Extension list should be transferable, so that we can redownload extension on fresh install with just the list, no need to manually hunt down all the extension from chrome store.

When a comprehensive settings export is added, please also consider making it so that they can be exported from any browser and uploaded to any other (my specific use case is exporting them from an install on a Windows machine and importing them into an install on a Linux machine).

I can see in quick commands if you type "export settings" there is an option, but it doesn't do anything, and there is no corresponding "import settings" option. Maybe at one point it was planned but the developers never got around to it.

@LonM There are corresponding actions that can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures as well. I forget the exact thread, but I had brought these up a short while ago. I'll try to dig that up and remember what the final word was.

Just a reminder that we can't export our awesome settings and modifications.
Such functionality is needed, because more and more people are joining the vivaldi train, but we can't share our setup with other users ? -
@presianbg There are mods to export/import themes and back up search engines, but no native features.
-
@presianbg We cannot share it with ourselves: I installed Vivaldi in about 3 PCs but I cannot easily take along my settings, specially the whole bunch of keyboard shortcuts that I configured.

@xuanma It should be no problem. After installing on second and third PC you just have to get the profile folder of the first, copy it and paste it into the Vivaldi-folders of the secondary machines.
How to do it exactly?
Type
vivaldi:about in your adress-bar and see the path to your profile-folder.
It is shown in the bottom line. The profile folder (if you have only 1 profile) is called "Default".Copy this folder to an USB-Stick and overwrite the existing profile-folders in the other PCs (they are named "Default" as well).
This is the most inclusive export/import you could do.
After this steps you can activate your synchronization with Vivaldi-server. -
@Pesala said in Export/Import for User Settings:
Internet connection.
The most awesome thing in Vivaldi is customization. I have a lot of control.
But this takes a lot of time when you want for example to install & configure 50 new laptops.
That's why it would be REALLY cool to export/import settings offline, like a file.
A file that contains all the settings without any sensitive information.
So that I would be able after install to just import settings from a file, restart and Voila ! same customization, same flow everywhere, without Internet, without Sync.
I think this wold be a powerfull feature. -
it would be nice to have it as a priority XD such a vital an important thing UnU is like creating a car, adding new stuff, new seats, stereo, but forgot to create a way to change the wheels XD
-
@FlowXP agree XD and you would't even need a vivaldi account or you can just share them with friends and a lot of cool and vital stuff

Opera < 13 had a third party programme to do that. Exported everything to a Zip file. Back it up and you could put all your customizations right back in.
Don't know what happened to the developer.But then O12 and Chromium... like Apples and Oranges. With every Chromium change what happens?

@Zalex108 OVerly complicated that's how Im used to do things, a lot of things break! and carryng a 300mb-2GB folder is annoying and slow :c I would personally like a more human way
-
@Mpc46 Maybe I missed some points but I showed a simple solution - even for different profiles - in this thread.
Just copy the
Default- folder (that is the standard profile-folder) and paste it into the other PCs/notebooks. You can use an USB-stick.In the secondary machines you have to install Vivaldi first of course and run it.
Then, after closing, overwrite the profile folder from stick.And finally you can activate synchronization.

@Dancer18 @Pesala
That's the point :T it could be 2mb maxim, I dont want to copy all my extensions and stuff that vivaldi would sync for me :T compressing and decompressing takes time, imagine having a simple file could be .json, .xml, whatever and just send it over the web in a inbox to yourself XD or even with bluetooth.I'm not complaining, I'm just asking you to imagine that scenario, imaging a tired developer, with a old pc without wifi connection, just sending a file across bluetooth or dont have to worry to "make space" in an old fashioned usb just to stored a lot of unnecesary data, now imaging, people who uses a lot of computers, copying and pasting folders, compressing and decompressing...
Maybe not an export button, maybe JUST centralize all the no sync configuration data in a SINGLE file :T I know that would be even harder, because that would mean reconfigure all the vivaldi file system :T
Plz considere the simple users who wants things done, and do not like to mess up with things they dont understand :T just please.

@Mpc46 Please see my first post on page one of this thread. I fully understand the need for this.
Like most of the current 3,800+ feature requests, this one shows no sign of being implemented yet.
