[Kde-pim] pimsettingexporter status and alternatives

[Francesco De Vita]

[I'm not subscribed to this list, please CC me in your answers]

Hello everyone

As reported in bugs #325727 [1] and #331432 [2], which I experienced 
myself (Debian Stretch, kdepim 4.14.10), pimsettingexporter doesn't 
correctly work and cannot be used as expected.

Considering this, I would like to know:
 
 - if there are plans to solve these grave issues in near future 
 releases;
 
 - if there are alternatives or recommendation by you on how to 
 backup/export kdepim settings otherwise (if possible avoid the 
 trivial answer "backup your home folder").

About the second point, I know it is a topic already discussed here and 
there but it would be really useful to have an updated, tested and 
documented procedure. If it already exists and I didn't see it please 
forgive me.
 
Also, because the backup and restore activity is crucial and 
those two bugs are affecting long since kdepim 4, which is still 
present in many distros, it would be advisable to discuss 
the current limitations of this tool in the documentation (manual, 
docs.kde.org).

Thank you and best regards
Francesco
