Total exporter for Columns UI?

I change my design every few days () and I'd like a way to FULLY save the columns UI configs - the layout info, sizes of stuff, etc. as well as the playlist formatting. Is there any way to save this in one file for easy exporting/importing?
err... i'm not using windows any more ;)

This would be very useful in my opinion as well!  Even though I'm quite satisfied with being able to export anything at all!

I really don't remember how many times I went to my friends house to explain or install from zero the foobar. I'm a big fan. Really, and i'm sure that is just getting better and better, but i think that a basic but cool (album art, columns, browser) or out of the box foobar install would be the "giant step" to mainstream. Maybe out of the box could be problematic but a way to zip and extract and gets all working would be great to share this great but time consuming program.

Anyway, my third world opinion (argentine)

I too would like to see a consolidated file which would contain all settings including columns layout and individual component settings.  This information is currently stored in foobar2000.cfg isnt it? I've tried swapping .cfg files before but that also contains some information you wouldnt want to bother with like the directories for the media library. Ideally it would be nice to be able to add:

Fresh install of foobar + Extra components + All-in-One settings file

And switch between various configurations.

Essentially I would export a few files:

trackinfo.cfg (contains titelformatting and settings)
columnsui.cfg (ALL columns stuff)
buttons.cfg (all graphics, actions etc. of buttons)
general.cfg (everything else related)

I think that this would be a great idea as well.  I have just started playing with additional presets for the layout.  One thing I feel is lacking is the ability for the preset to include the window size last used in the preset.  If you switch from one preset to the other, you have to resize the window to accomodate.

With that in mind, it would be cool if you could export individual layout presets (as well as the full set of presets).  Not sure if the SDK will allow any of this, but if it is possible, it gets my vote.
