Import / Export Blender Settings as .json

Blender currently lacks a simple way to export and reuse complete settings configurations. Users often need to manually recreate setups such as Cycles render settings (Render Engine, GPU Compute, Sampling, Denoise), simulations, shading, and node parameters, as shown in the attached image.

I propose adding Import / Export buttons to the top of each Properties panel (Render, Physics, Material, World, Output, etc.). These buttons would allow users to save the current panel’s settings to a .json file and load them later or share them with others.

Using a .json format would keep files lightweight, readable, and easy to version or edit. This feature would greatly improve workflow portability, make team collaboration easier, and help educators and beginners apply optimized settings instantly.

This would be a valuable quality-of-life improvement for Blender users at all levels.

Great idea, though you should probably refine the title to avoid any confusion with Blender Preferences/Global settings
