On the Import / Export Chandler data dialogs, can we add text explaining
what's being exported and imported?
+ Import all collections, items, accounts and sharing settings from a file.
+ Export all collections, items, accounts and sharing settings to a file.
Note that reloading, at least in the Preview timeframe, is not required to
preserve any *existing* data; it is allowed to delete the entire repository
and start over.
While I'm not overly attached to the dump/reload terminology, "import" does
not seem sufficient to imply that data loss will occur.
The intended function of dump and reload is to support *migration* of
Chandler data across Chandler versions or OS platforms -- it really has no
other function. Perhaps some names that have to do with migration might be
appropriate? Maybe a "Migrate Chandler Data" that then has options to
"replace all collections/items/etc. from a file" and "write all
collections/items/etc. to a file for migration to another OS or chandler
version"?
