Kodi 16 / export settings

So in Jarvis I suppose not as big a deal to save skin settings, but I'm thinking it would still be of value to have a simple user option that retains script.toolbox functionality, or maybe there is a better way to backup settings now?

Concerning backup / export settings, please note that there is right now an issue in Jarvis because of the new guisettings.xml moved into the addon_data folder. Not sure that Phil is aware / fixed this since it comes from KODI. guisettings.xml update is triggered at KODI closing, that means all modifications made during session and exported without having closed KODI first won't be up to date.

you could try this: https://github.com/phil65/script.toolbox...4320c4b5d7
Works in jarvis and should also give you real-time string / bool values.

Thanks I will look at it. Meanwhile I forked your repo and did my own fix here:

but I have to look at what if any difference I did.

I did see in some initial testing that I could export settings from Isengard and they seem to import and work in Jarvis using unmodified code, so in my commit I created "pre-Jarvis"-style backup file in the export (that is, it is in format skin_name.setting) and left import as-is. The idea is user could then move from Isengard to Jarvis with a clean jarvis install.

But I only tested in the skin I maintain.
