Ability To Export/Import Category Lists

[Deadmano]

With this awesome new feature I've had several times the misfortune of having my categories wiped clean and had to start over... Now 200 odd games may not sound like a lot, but when I have the following categories;

Action-Adventure
First Person Shooter
Puzzle-Platform
Racing and Flying
Real-Time Strategy
Rhythm
Role-Playing Game
Simulation
Sports
Third Person Shooter
Turn-Based Strategy

Which are just the basics followed by a few personal ones and a mix of the above, then it slowly becomes a nightmare to have to do it over and over again. With the ability to export this could potentially prevent this while allowing us to import (in case of such emergencies) and even share our way of categorizing games with others and like-minded individuals!

Right now if I'm not mistaken all changes are synced to the cloud? As I've found that my games at my work automagically have the same categories as home...

Another feature that would be awesome is if we had the option to auto set our games to categories defined in the game's store page (either by developer or steam tags), helps for those who have 1000+ games and wouldn't want to do it by hand, and this is where "lists" of categorized games could be made available on a sort of "tools" workshop, people could subscribe to OCD people such as myself and have all their games neatly organized by all different types of scenarios, game types, moods, etc, just a thought!

The categories should be synced to cloud as far as I'm aware. I've never had my categories wiped out without it being my own fault. So if it happens over and over again for you, maybe you need to check up your settings or something, as that shouldn't happen.

It's only happened once or twice in prior updates, but with the new update and ability to have multiple categories (you could only have one before) I wanna go all out and properly categorize all my games, but afraid to commit that much time and effort for nothing without a way to back it all up. :(
