Hello there,

I'm using MP 1.0 RC4 at the moment and of course I'm going to update to 1.0 Final as soon as possible. Obviously I would like to keep all my settings and just read the info on the front page about how to make a backup of your MP settings and also the advice to do a fresh install without taking over files from older versions.

I guess I can live with that although it start to be a little annoying to go through all the settings for the don't-know-which time (I'm using MP since 0.8.9.x).

It tried to get the backup plugin to work but had no chance doing that (I always get a failure notice when I put the plugin file in the plugins directory and try to access it via MP configuration).

Are there already any plans on implementing a setup process which allows to keep all the settings from a former version. Or is there already a way to save all settings in a config file?

It would be nice to see sth. like that! Thanks in advance and best regards
