Save/Load Layout and Export/Import Preferences don't work

General Feedback & Requests

Layout
There is option for saving layout, but no way to load it back. Currently I have(Well, had) 2 layouts - one for PC development and one for Mobile development and I thought I can switch them. “Save Layout” is implying you can load them back… but there is no such button or option. Wtf?

**Preferences **
Actually same situation. I can export preferences, but Import button is greyed out in editor no matter what I do. I guess you can import only Keyboard shortcuts, but then why this button exist in ~20 tabs if it works only in Keyboard shortcuts

Hi, is there any new info in this topic?

My setting are resetting every time I reopen Engine.
I can’t Import them from file.
All I can do is to import KeyBindings layer.

Any news on this? The import button is still greyed out in 4.1 7 and save as default still doesn’t work.

Can’t get it to work in 4.19, either.

I believe the issue discussed in this thread is the same as this one; Vast majority of Editor Preferences does not save - Feedback & Requests - Epic Developer Community Forums .
And I did create a PR for it to resolve the issue, however it hasn’t been integrated yet, seegithub.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/4284 .
