Library Documentation

I've asked for this feature from Kovid off and on for years. Crickets. I'm probably the only person interested in it. BUT maybe I've been asking in the wrong location.

As many participants in this sub-forum have, I've got a fair number of libraries, basically split off from the original holding pot when it over-flowed to the point where some upkeep was needed. Unfortunately, WHERE those sub-libs came from have differed over the years, as well with updated sources now now being fully reflected in the sub-libs' settings. Specific to me, the searches. But it even extends to the options (such as the OnKindle being replaced by an OnPW4 awhile back in my WhereIs custom field)

What I need is something in Report form (CSV, Text, HTML, XLS, whatever makes the most sense) of the settings for a/each Lib. That would at least let me note differences and ideally paste them into disparate libraries. The HOME RUN would be a dialog that lets me homogenize across all selected libraries. I realize my settings for comic books are a WHOOOOOLE lot different than the rest of the books, so I wouldn't wish for a nuclear option.

But the bottom line is documenting the settings on a per library basis. As little or as much as can be done. Is this a reasonable ask? What am i overlooking that makes asking for it not generate any sort of enthusiasm?

Thanks for listening to my biennial request. GM
