First of all I would like to say that this program is awesome! It saves me a hell of a lot of trouble renaming and organizing my shows :D

Now my request/question;

is there a way to backup all the settings I made in TV Rename? When I decide to reinstall my PC or maybe buy a new one, I would like to not have to go trough all the setup stuff I just did to get it all running like I want it to.. So a export/import option for all the settings would be great!

all of the settings and your database are in a couple of files that you can copy to a new computer. Keep in mind that if you have your show location set to drive letters this will not work unless you have set those drive letters to be the same on the new computer.

Depending on your OS the files are in a slightly different place, but if you go Start-> Run in XP, or the equivalent in Vista and type %appdata% you should open your profile application data location. Find the TVRename folder and drill down a couple of levels to find a bunch of XML files and backups for the same. If you copy these files to the same location on the new computer you should have everything you need. I don't think you need to copy the backup files, but it probably wouldn't hurt.
