I am moving to another PC, and use Cloud Sync.  I exported, form my other PC, everything not related to tasks (workspaces, Views, etc) and imported them.
I get my workspace tabs just fine, but all the Advanced Filters I use, and the Group & Sort where not included.

I am doing this wrong, and if not, is there another way to copy these from one workspace to another?  It will be a real pain to have to manually recreate all that work!

Grant,

Are the views in an "imported" view group?

I move my file from one computer to another, and when I open it all
the stuff is there.

Hope that helps,
- Trevor.

Sorry, I just realized this is unclear - I meant that I copy my .mlo
data file (usually default.ml) to the other computer. I use multiple
computers, and I find I have to copy the data file every time I make a
change to views or workspaces, so maybe I should look into that export
thing you mention, but so far copying the file has worked ok. The sync
configuration is stored in the data file, so it syncs up fine. I have
found when restoring a backup that I have to disconnect the Internet
connection before I open it or it syncs and I get the problems back.
There are probably much better ways to do this.

- Trevor.

Yeah,
I ended up doing the same - just copying the full file, with all the inherent (unknown) risks...
The MLO team replied, that maybe I was not saving the views first... I did not think it was necessary if I had set it to default, and I did not way all those new views in the views pane, but it seems that is necessary... (right now have multiple views listed for the same thing and I do not know why, but I think this is part of it... If I am right, I will say I wish it was not so... saving as default should be enough to have it go out with the export.
