[chirp_devel] RFC settings import export

[Jens J.]

In my limited dealings with settings on a few radios, they seem very proprietary.
How can you "serialize" these?
Noting that not all radios have settings stored within a single array or struct - there may be multiple places, and then some custom logic on how it's read from and stored to radio image.

Now that I think about it, perhaps you could export just Chirp's view of the settings, as it is more or less a tree structure, with a few fixed types and values.
Seems like it would work ok to import settings between same models, but would get very tricky (if not impossible) to implement across models.

Hi all
from recent comments in users list I'm thinking to implement import-export of settings to cvs.
I'm not going to try any cross model support at first.

Comments?
Do you see any drawback?
