We need a button to get access to the options via Groovy Pad or just in the app

I have been using FileBot for quite a few years, and its simply the best application I've found for this purpose. And I wouldn't be without it.
BUT, there are some problems I've seen over the years that I'm astounded haven't been addressed yet.
I am running the Microsoft Store version of Filebot (not sure if that matters) and getting to the options to import or export settings are totally impossible unless you find how to open the Groovy Pad.
The video tutorial makes no reference to the option.
It was blind luck I found how to even get to Groovy Pad.
I assume the very non-standard layout and options of FileBot is somehow governed by the tools used to create it.
But it really is almost impossible to find options and instructions for FileBot. Having a Help menu that takes us to the website would seem to be very helpful (but isn't there).
Just having some Settings available to import and export our settings and other settings would be really helpful.
In fact, just having a way of setting where the settings are saved would be really helpful. Since who knows where the settings are stored, and I would really like to back them up.
That's a common problem with Windows apps of course, not just this. But in this day and age where Microsoft seems to think that the best way to fix any slightly hard problem is to reinstall your windows, we really do need to be able to backup our settings.
