[1056, 2007] We desperately need a reliable mechanism for importing projects & settings from previous versions of the IDE. The update utility shipped with FFJ CE is inconvenient and cannot handle sofisticated update scenarios. The import mechanism should be implemented as an integral part of the IDE. After clicking on the Project | Import... menu item, the user should be prompted with a FileChooser to select the IDE version to import from. Optionally, the user could be provided with an option dialog to choose, which projects/settings should actually be imported. Then, the mechanism would create corresponding system settings under the current IDE folder structure.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
