In the post I am linking here (which should be moved) I outline a number of features and ideas that should be implemented into the EVE client. What I'd like to make this post about is the suggestion I have made to allow users to upload their entire settings for a client to CCP's servers - a sort of "iCloud" backup (if you will) of every intrecate detail that a user has the ability to set in the client. This would include window sizes, positions, etc. (x, y cordinates, width height measurements, the whole ball of wax). In this way, you can opt--- and I do mean opt, to download a configuration you previously uploaded so when you setup the client on a new machine, the process is painless. The current alternative is to of course spend the afternoon fiddling with your settings, as most of us do now or just don't set settings we did on our other client. Settings WOULD include graphics settings etc. Again, the entire settings body in the cloud, ready to apply to a new install. Of course if the settings structure should change (like in a patch) old settings profiles would be null and void to keep the client happy.
