so can you IMPORT those exported files to synchronet?
because that would be helpful.
Synchronet (SCFG) already supports several import formats for message and file areas. It does not support importing external program configurations. A corresponding "importcfg.js" should probably be created which could import more cfg-type's (not just message and file areas) and supporting more variants/formats of files.
i think what people are looking for is a way to export and import doorgame configurations. with file areas and msg areas we could always just use the backup files. the internal export for the msg areas are already good enough for people that run msg nets to distribute.
I think an 'importcfg.js' (if one were to be created) could do just that, using the load/cnflib.js (since *changing* the configuration settings is not built-in to the Sync-JS object model).
exportcfg.js started from fileareas.js which was created because someone asked for an exported file area list format that was not already supported in SCFG and it was a rather trivial thing to do in JS. Making it flexible (in format, order, contents) and changing it to a more generic 'configuration' exporter was non-trivial, buf fun.
