[Feature] Export & Import Profiles

[umesh-saini]

📦 Feature: Export & Import Profiles

Problem

Users who reinstall their OS or switch machines lose all their DevSwitch profiles
and have to set everything up from scratch.

Proposed Solution

Add an Export button that saves all profiles to a .json file, and an Import
button that restores them on any machine.

What needs to be done

• Add "Export Profiles" button in settings/home
• Serialize profiles (excluding sensitive data like passphrases) to JSON
• Add "Import Profiles" button with file picker
• Validate imported JSON before applying
• Show success/error feedback to the user

Tech notes

• Profiles are stored via electron-store in the main process
• Use Electron's dialog.showSaveDialog / showOpenDialog for file picker
• See electron/services/storageService.ts for how profiles are stored

@umesh-saini I'd love to take this.

I can implement Export and Import functionality using IPC handlers in the Electron main process. I'll use dialog.showSaveDialog and dialog.showOpenDialog for file selection, and Node's fs module to handle JSON read/write.

I'll make sure to exclude sensitive data (like passphrases and tokens) during export, and validate the imported JSON before applying it. On the frontend, I'll add Export/Import buttons and connect them to the backend, along with basic success/error feedback.

I can start working on this and open a PR soon. Let me know if this works 👍

Hey @kaushik-tapaniya ! Yes, please go ahead, this is yours! 🙌

Your approach sounds exactly right. A few things to keep in mind as you start:

• Exclude passphrases, tokens, and any sensitive keys from the export JSON, you already mentioned this, just making sure it's a hard rule
• The profile structure is in electron/type/profile.ts, good reference for what fields to include/exclude
• For the frontend buttons, the Settings or Home page would be the ideal placement

Open a draft PR whenever you're ready, no need to wait until it's fully done. I'll give feedback as you go.

Assigning this to you now. Looking forward to the PR!
