I created a CV on one computer and want to import it on another computer, there is an option to import json but i cant find a json file to import?

Only way i've managed to import my cv is to copy paste markdown and css but even then the selected options from the menu are not preserved.

THanks,

Have you tried clicking the “Import from” button on the “My Resumes” page? You can then select the exported JSON file in the file dialog to import it.

I'll refine the UI to make things clearer and add documentation explaining how to use this app once I have the time. Thanks!

I was looking specifically at the cv menu on the right side (ocne you open a template) where you dont have any option to export a single cv in json format whic his the way I assumed it would work - you can export a cv and then import it later.

I guess the app works differently and you can export your whole data in json from the overview menu by pressing "Save As"

My suggestion is to rename Save As to Export CV's (JSON) or something like that so it's clear where you're going to be getting the JSON file.

Not sure if im explaning it properly but thanks for looking in to this.

@Vuccappella There is an export function in the codebase that exports all of your resumes. I modified it to allow the export of a single resume and added an "export JSON" button on the right side. I'm submitting a PR today, but it's based on my branch, that hasn't been accepted yet, so don't know how much time it will take to appear in here.
If you're interested, I can share the branch name of my fork with this functionality.
