NOTE: For this update, we recommend that you uninstall any previous version first before installing the update.

Will it save the login info for all my sites?

It failed to export because database password is incorrect. How do I enter my database UN and PW? It is different then my FTP info.

Good catch. What you have implemented in Direct FTP was Encryption Password. Go into the Edit Menu > Preferences > Security and check the box "use automatically generated password". The export then will work.

I will log that for a fix in the next release.

LOL, This is funny. I'm not sure if I found a bug. This new feature imports and exports the Direct FTP database? I was thinking you guys found a way to export my mysql databases via a dump and ftp transfer. OK, now we're on the same page. :)

Rereading your previous post again, I see it was clearly stated. I guess I was wishing for something most awesome. :D

Oh, you can do that to in Direct FTP now as well Tom. Just simultaneously hold down the SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+M+Y+S+Q+L keys and then right-mouse click and select MySQL database dump. :)
