Actually I presume the plugin must already handle custom columns in a view not being present - after all if users delete custom columns calibre doesnt automatically go fix up View Manager plugin views. So it might work ok as a quick stop-gap.
Instead of one view at a time it probably would have to be a complete write over with every view. That was what I was thinking.

I have Beyond Compare and WinMerge/Compare and it was using those programs that I was thinking of for copy/pasting the information in the .json. Just lining up the two files and copying over that particular section.
