Making the How-to's HARDER to use is IMHO completely against the point of making them. I consider this a kick in the nuts to the community. This paragraph (and only this) will be retracted if someone can show me a way to copy/paste from Adobe Reader. I refuse to install any other piece of software to be able to copy/paste from a .pdf document, as I do not feel the need to clutter my computer with crap that will be used 1 or 2 times.
At any rate, see if you can stop me from making CHM files on my own computer (not to distribute).

Now to get back on the actual topic:
Ive learned the hard way that settings have to be volatile for them to be able to export properly, but won't this erase them on upgrade? The code in the xml_import_settings() makes me think that if you are trying to re-import settings that are marked as volatile, it will recreate these settings. This is not a desired effect, so I hope someone can prove me wrong

Ever tried the "Select Text" tool in Adobe Reader? The one where you can highlight text, and copy it to the clipboard for pasting into other applications? Try it and then you can retract your paragraph.
