Feature description
Add new menu section: Import & Export
Why do you want this feature?
While trying some different prs or do (re-)installs on various devices i often want to import my previous settings and / or a database backup.
To do this you have to go trough the settings and scroll trough to find the import entry which is time consuming.
An extra menu section would make such tasks way faster.
Additional information
I would propose to add a *import & export" settings section with the following content:
Import database Import previous subscriptions export Import subscriptions from YouTube Import subscriptions from Soundcloud
Export database Export subscriptions
Related: #3192.
Maybe instead of import and export the section should be named backup and restore 'cause I believe that users are more familiar with backup and restore
Or both, even.
Then maybe backup and import? 🤔😁
I'm sure a good fitting name will be found.
#9236 should probably also fit well in this new category. 🤔
