And what if after the restore LMS fails to start up? Some path might
have changed or the like?
If you restore the settings rather than the settings file (in its
original location) that should not be a factor
I don't think restoring individual prefs would really help here. Plus
LMS knows triggers on prefs changes which could really hurt here. Eg.
many prefs changes would trigger a rescan. Or LMS only has access to
player prefs for players which currently are connected. There are a lot
of different limitations which make importing prefs rather than a prefs
file complex.
I still believe this is a great idea for a plugin written by somebody
who's enthusiastic about the idea. But I'm sorry to say, that's not me.
This is a feature which must cover too many different expectations which
are hard to build in to one single solution. A feature which is really
hard to get done "right". A prefs file export/backup? Ok. But restore?
That's opening a can of worms.
