The feature that is described in this request is a candidate for a future release.
It took me almost an hour to find all of my preferences from RDp 8.5 to RDi 9.0 and get them set to where I like it. I would love to be able to quickly restore those settings. Also would like to be able to share my settings with my co-worker who is just getting started with RDI.
One use for this is when a developer switches from SEU to RDi. The experienced RDi user could export her filters, compile commands and user key actions for the new RDi user to import. New RDi users are already overwhelmed by the vast array of choices. Being able to set up their environment without tediously navigating the GUI would be a tremendous help.
This RFE and 10286 (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=10286) seem to address very similar needs. It would be great if there could be a single place to selectively migrate the editor and other preferences as this RFE requests and filters, libraries, commands, etc. as 10286 does.
Given the number of times the answer to a problem is "try creating a new workspace," I agree that this is a much-needed functionality.
This RFE will be under consideration for a future release. Status has been updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
