The title says it all, really. While I imagine this probably would not be particularly easy, the benefits to the player experience would be ENORMOUS.

If this is at all possible, please do this. I think this is something that almost every player in EVE would find extremely helpful.

This has been mentioned many times, it's still a great idea. Just waiting on CCP to implement it.

Hello

Exporting all setting just to one file isn´t good idea. But OPTION to save them all will be better. The OPTION word is very important. Reason ? Some of us playing EVE on more than one specific machine.
Example:
I mostly playing EVE on notebook, but sometimes i play it on classic PC that have another resolution, another configuration of sound settings, keyboard setting (expecialy when you have ntb without numeric keyboard) etc. OPTION to chose which ones should be exported will be better. If I make customizations in my overview settings a dont want get resolution setting with it.

That was just an example what i trying to say.

PS: Sorry for my english, its not my native language.

That would be why it's a plaintext editable file. You could open it outside of EVE and edit the settings for your specific platform when you port one EVE installation over to another computer.

In addition some enterprising third party software developer would probably write a program that would provide a user interface to change these settings and save them entirely outside of EVE, as well as manage them for multiple setups, making things even easier for everyone.

Question is, how much settings we will can export. But that s not my concer which can be exported if something like that will be posilbe.
But whats i want today is exportable overview settings WITH standing colors of standing icons from chats, without that is pretty hard to unite corporation overview so every player in my corp can see the same.
And antoher problem si that f****** lock status for containers. Every movement to new or another machine is painfull recliking to status "unlocked". Suddenly i cant have everywhere freight container.

If it's implemented the way I imagine so, it'll be fully customizable to any way you want it to be.
