+Use the Import... and Export...
+buttons to import an already-saved code convention, or export your current settings as
+a new code convention. You can choose between the binary .jal format
+or an XML representation.
+
+Jalopy is able to import settings from both local and distributed locations.
+Just specify a valid Internet address (either starting with http:// or
+www.) for the latter. Jalopy will then attempt to synchronize
+its settings with the given url on every invocation. That way it is easy to
+share a single code convention across a group of developers.
+
+Please note that versions prior to 1.0b8 stored the backup directory always as
+an absolute file. Therefore after importing a code convention, you should
+check whether this directory points to your preferred backup directory. This
+advice holds true even for later versions in case you've changed the default
+backup directory.
+
+However if the backup directory setting is left untouched, the directory is
+stored relative to the Jalopy settings directory. This way you can savely
+share your code convention across different systems and platforms.
