**App version** : 3.1.1 (Google Play)

**Problem you may be having, or feature you want** : I got a new phone and used the database export to transfer over subscriptions/queue/etc. Worked great! EXCEPT, none of the settings got transferred over. I had to go through the settings menu item by item and reapply manually. Also configuring the home screen was manual.

**Suggested solution** : Option to include settings in the db export/import.

That would be nice to have.

It might be better to have a separate settings export that generates a separate file for settings. Gives the user the option of what to export while not tampering with the existing database export.
