Having some trouble with Ikarus

I've recently been thinking about revamping my UI to something a little more fresh, and so I thought I'd give Ikarus a shot. I gotta say that this addon is such a pain due to the sheer amount of settings that need to be adjusted to get that perfect UI you've always wanted. A few weeks ago I sat down and worked on it while siege was down, and got it about 80% done. Every change I made saved and carried over to the next time i logged in & every time I made a change it said saving profile.

Siege started working again but my UI wasn't finished so I created an Ikarus backup folder to save everything to. I cut/pasted the "Ikarus" and "AAPatchWork" folder, My character folder, and the client.config.ini file to the Ikarus backup folder. I then put my old character folder/client.config.ini back in to restore my old UI setup so I could siege without any complications.

Today, I decided that I wanted to work on finishing the UI, so I re-imported the files from the Ikarus backup folder, but to my surprise, Ikarus defaulted back to its original settings. I'm wondering why it did that? It dawned on me that the method in which I moved the files around was probably my undoing, and that if I truly want to save my profile, I need to export it so I can re-import it whenever something like this happens. Ikaurs has a built in export wizard which allows you to export a profile to either use as a backup or share with others, but I cannot for the life of me get a profile to export.

So that's my question. How do I export a profile in Ikarus? The steps given in the addon are not clear to me and I would appreciate any help from someone who knows how to do it.

I'm using the most current version found on curse: http://www.curse.com/addons/rom/ikarus-unitframes

Alright:

Right click Ikarus, go to Export. Choose what profile to export.

Click into the box that shows up, above it says "Click into blah blah to automatically select blah blah". It should select everything. Hit control + c to copy all of that to the clipboard. Paste everything into Notepad and name it whatever you want.

To reimport it, place that notepad file into the "Profiles" folder of the Ikarus addon. Then log into the game and click import. You should see it listed in the filenames.

My Ikarus is very bare minimum but I adore it.

I've actually done that before and Ikarus doesn't detect it as a profile. Here's an example as to what the start of a profile looks like.

EXAMPLE:
return {
["targettargettarget"] = {
["GENERAL"] = {
["OFFSET_Y"] = 209,
["OFFSET_X"] = 927,
["VISIBLE"] = false,
},
},
["castbar"] = {................ blah blah and so on.

When I copy paste it to a notpad it doesn't do all the correct intentions like the one above. Mine just gets saved as one super long single line.

HOW MINE SAVES:
return {["global"] = {},["player"] = {["GENERAL"] = {["OFFSET_Y"] = 41,["OFFSET_X"] = 80]["SCALE"] = 1.33,},["MANABAR"] = {["BACKGROUND_COLOR"] = {["b"] = 0,["g"] = 0.058392487240041,

I'm pretty sure mine's not saving correctly for some odd reason. Any ideas?

After conversing with Borella, my issue is resolved.
