[Feature]: Export and Import Complete Paraline Configuration

[sohika-sharma20]

Problem

Users can spend significant time customizing theme settings, colors, sensitivity values, glow strengths, motion styles, and other preferences.

Currently there is no simple way to:

• Back up a working configuration
• Transfer settings to another PC
• Share configurations with other users
• Restore settings after reinstalling the application

---

Proposed Solution

Add two options in Settings:

Export Configuration

• Export all application settings into a JSON file
• Include theme-specific configurations
• Include global application preferences

Import Configuration

• Load a previously exported JSON file
• Validate file structure before applying
• Apply settings immediately or after restart

---

Benefits

• Better user experience
• Easy backup and recovery
• Enables community sharing of configurations
• Useful for users experimenting with multiple setups

---

Possible Files

• settings.js
• settingsStore.js
• settings.html

Hi @SamXop123, I'd like to work on this issue under GSSoC'26. Could you please assign it to me?

Hi @sohika-sharma20 , this is a fantastic feature that we could add.
Right now we already have individual 'Theme Profiles', but we lack a full application backup & restore (global settings, automation rules, and all theme configurations combined).

I am assigning this issue to you. Please ensure the imported backup is securely sanitized using sanitizeSettings() in settingsStore.js before saving.
