Option to export both File Type settings and Embedded Content Processor settings into a single SDLFTSETTINGS file when an embedded content processor is enabled.

Hi Community,

Believe or not, engineers just assume when they export File Type settings file, the associated embedded content processor that is enabled, is getting exported at the same time. You can imagine issues this would cause by not having the embedded content processor settings attached to the exported SDLFTSETTINGS file. But why shouldn't it contain both settings?

I have been manually adding <SettingsGroup> content from an exported embedded content processor settings file (SDLECSETTINGS) to a file type settings file for years without thinking about it, but now I have been witnessing the issues this has caused, I would really like a little improvement made.

Can we have radio buttons under Save as type field in Export Settings window, which would clarify what is getting exported. As the default export option, we should get both file type settings and embedded content processor settings in a single SDLFTSETTINGS file. As the second option, we should offer exporting only File Type settings.

Thanks for considering!
