 * hi
 * Today I tried to do the import / export settings (to avoid typing it all over
   again in a new installation) and failed (((
 * ie import happens normally. on my PC is downloaded txt file.
 * but when I try to load it back – if through the boot – the file is loaded into
   the dialog box by 100%. but when i try import “Import AIOWPS settings from file
   operation failed!”
    and if copied directly everything of it and paste it into
   the box below (Copy and paste the data to be imported) when importing still gives
   an error …
 * is it just me crashing?

 * When you say that import does not work. Are you saying that on your local machine
   if you export the settings and then try to import them again it does not work?

 * Okay the import and export might not work correctly with Xampp because of file
   permissions issues and other settings. Have you tried on a live server?

 * actual file permissions higher than the recommended (666 instead of 644 and 777
   instead of 755).
 * on a live site have not tried
    I am afraid that will fly settings and will have
   to re-configure all 🙁
 * May be I try later
