Yes I know :)
Please make sure before the export that your current view is saved (not
modified). As you know you can modify a view in each Workspace (tab) and as
a result each tab could have own modified copy of the view. If a view is
modified the asterisk singe is placed before the view name in the outline
(i.e. "*All Tasks". If you want this modified view to be available for all
tabs you should Save it (a button in the bottom of filter pane) or you can
reset modified view to the initial state ("Reset view").
When you export a view, only common saved copy of the view is exported. If
view is saved all the settings you see for the view are exported to the XML
and can be imported to other file. In this case the view will be exactly
the same in the other file.
Import/Export views is the only way to share your views across different
files. The views are not synced via wifi or cloud.
Please confirm if Import/Export of the views works for you now.
Thanks,
Andrey.
