Add Import/Export of settings and game configuration

[adrianlopezgalera]

Hi!

I don't want to overburden you, because another user has proposed many interesting features a few days ago. I haven't seen any way to export your settings for the games installed or the program itself. It would be very useful in case of reinstalling or install GameHub on another computer in order to avoid to repeat custom options for each game.

Regards.

Moving or backing up the database should be enough.
It's currently located at ${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/com.github.tkashkin.gamehub but will be moved with the next major version, probably to ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/com.github.tkashkin.gamehub.

You can also export settings and access tokens:

Export: dconf dump /com/github/tkashkin/gamehub/ > gamehub_settings
Import: dconf load /com/github/tkashkin/gamehub/ < gamehub_settings

Thank you very much to both of you! Now I know where it is and how to backup and restore it. Is there any plan to add this option to the "settings" menu? I think that newbies or non-developer people maybe need a easy way. Obviously, I understand that it's not a priority and it takes time.

I want to write an article soon about your program with the purpose of making it known among some GNU/Linux gamers of Spain (where I'm from).

By the way, I don't know if you saw another comment from me here. Just for pointing out: #413 (comment)

Thanks again!
