settings backup file - make human readable / plain text

Description of the new feature / enhancement

hello, i appreciate the new settings backup feature very much.

one enhancement i would like to suggest is for the backup file to be human readable. i.e. a text file, such as xml or json.

The current backup file is unfortunately not readable with a text editor :(

Scenario when this would be used?

a plain text settings backup would give the user much more flexibility. two obvious benefits would be ability to compare and editing backup files directly, without first reimporting to the application.

thank you for considering this!
