3. btw, probably some things are not well documented:

a. you can enter negative values (as -200) and hex values (as x200)
b. unicode is exported with =u prefix
c. you can delete settings during import by adding Setting=e (erase)
d. you can delete modules during import by adding [-Module]

few examples:

-[Foo1]
-[Foo2]
key=uValue

[Foo3]
Password=e
Pass=- (since v3.1.3.0)

Modules "Foo1" & "Foo2" (with all settings) will be deleted during import.
Setting "key" with unicode string "Value" will be added to "Foo2"
Setting "Password" & "Pass" in module "Foo3" will be deleted.

4. Hint for using Search & Replace:
a. if you try to change contacts' protocol by S&R & miranda crashes -
try to disable excess plugins (some new*notify and other plugins dont like when contacts change their protocol in such way)
b. it also can be used to delete settings and modules! leave "replace with" field empty and check "entirely" box. be careful!
c. "entirely" checkbox can be also used to replace found field text entirely and not just searched string within it.

First feature request!

I ask that in the 'Find and replace' dialog, if the 'replace with' field is empty, all 'find what' matches will be deleted. And maybe a confirmation box..

[Bio]

it is already done. you need to check "entirely" to be allowed to do this.

[Nightwish]

One thing (probably only interesting for developers) - show the hContact value somewhere, when a contact is selected in the tree (or just append it to the tree node of a contacts db record).

Ever checked this on a 9x system, Dima? I don't think so. A little sample:
_Filter
_Filter
...
_Filter (164 times)
CList
CList
...
CList (164 times)
ContactPhoto
ContactPhoto
...
ContactPhoto (60 times)
ICQ
ICQ
...
ICQ (49 times)
Ignore
Ignore
...
Ignore (160 times)
Same goes for MSN, Newstory, Protocol, then I finally see
[+]Settings
[+]Contacts (not doing absolutely nothing, no expand, no collapse)
Then again other modules multiplied dozens of times.

Nice job!

import/export blobs

c. you can delete settings during import by adding Setting=e (erase)

In RegEdit, deletion simbol is '-'
I.e.:

[Path\KEY]
Value=-
