Current behavior
preferences cannot be exported. It would be nice if I could import preference settings to a new installation of Boostnote.
Expected behavior
Import and export preferences to back up Boostnote configurations.

Hello, I'm interested in adding this feature! I picture the export file to be a JSON file and an "Import/Export" tab placed after "Snippets" in "Preferences". Let me know if this works. Thank you!

I currently do this manually.
I created a batch file that exports the following directories:
- Exports
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\boost
- Exports
%USERPROFILE%\Boostnote
- Exports
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Boostnote
@ECHO off
REM Export boostnote-local
ROBOCOPY C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\boost <destination> /MIR /R:1 /W:0 /REG /MT:16 /XA:SH /XJ
REM Export boostnote-files
ROBOCOPY C:\Users\<username>\Boostnote <destination> /MIR /R:1 /W:0 /REG /MT:16
REM Export boostnote-roaming
ROBOCOPY C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Boostnote <destination> /MIR /R:1 /W:0 /REG /MT:16 /XA:SH /XJ
Switching the source and destination above simple imports my preferences and notes.
Environment
OS: Windows 10
Version: 1903

- Exports
%USERPROFILE%\Boostnote
Note that this is pointing to the default notes storage folder. If you changed your default location, and/or added others to give you a n hierarchy of note folders (like I have) then you'd need to take this into account.
I created a folder called Boostnotes into my sync location to collate all my storage locations together. I then added a few folders within, each mapped in Boostnote storage settings. I use each of those as a collection: Coding, Personal, etc. Each collection you can add folders as normal.
