Is is as simple as File >> Export (or Import) settings? Reason I ask is that when I have done that it doesnt 'work' Thanks Jamie

I recently worked on this export function, e.g. the file format has changed from a Windows Registry file (.reg) to a homebrown .txt file, which can also be used for running HeidiSQL in portable mode.
