Here's what I'm thinking of doing. The user will right-click a toon and select, "Import settings for this toon from another PC."

A window will pop up with an icon for each connected PC and the words, "Choose the PC to copy settings from for TOON." (In reality, the toon would have to be identified by name and server -- I'm just giving a rough idea.)

The user will click one of the PCs. A confirmation window will pop up asking, "Copy TOON's settings from PC XYZ to this PC? Your existing settings for TOON on this PC will be replaced. Yes or No."

A few seconds later, another window will pop up announcing whether or not the action took place.

I think this design will make it very obvious to the user that the remote PC has to be turned on and running Mojo in order for the settings to get copied.

That's the main thing I'm concerned about with this feature -- designing the interface so that idea is obvious to the user.

What do you think?


This feature has now been added to Mojo.

By the way, if anybody wonders where the idea for this feature came from -- it came from this thread.
