Feature Request: iCloud Settings Backup

[ZV00]

Feature Request

With the addition of community videos (which require custom links) as well as the addition of numerous other ways to modify settings in Aerial, I would like to recommend the addition of iCloud Backup support for settings.

This would allow for a few useful things:

1. Any time a computer is wiped and Aerial is installed again, the user can be prompted to restore settings.
2. A user that wants to keep Aerial consistent across multiple Apple Devices could sync the settings across all devices.
3. When community videos are purchased, the link is given in a temporary manner. This means that there's no way to get back to the link should they be disassociated in the future. Having a backup would save these links in iCloud

Thanks!

P.S. It should be noted that if this is implemented, I would not expect iCloud backup of the videos themselves, just the settings text. Additionally, DropBox support could be warranted here as well, but I think should be secondary given how small the settings file would be. Even a free iCloud account should be able to support that.

So in order to use iCloud, you need to setup an entitlement, and I can't do that for a screensaver since I can't set my own entitlements (we live under legacyScreenSaver's entitlements). So long story short, not possible.

(Dropbox, nope, never)

What about a manual export and manual import option to save it as a document that we can then import ourselves?

I'll put it on my maybe list
