Transfers between databases will be tricky. If the whole idea is the keep the libraries and databases separate, I'm not sure what the best way is to handle this. Exporting/importing msf files certainly will work for songs and setlists.
I've tried to avoid providing settings that allows users to potentially shoot themselves in the foot (because believe me, some most certainly will). When I used to allow song files to be excluded from backups, I would get lots of emails from users restoring backups without song files in them and having to explain that they didn't back up their whole library. I did not particularly enjoy those conversations, especially when those users didn't have copies of any of the files that were missing. Having said that, we may be approaching a point at which I want to provide different settings for basic users vs advanced users. Perhaps if I just add a toggle for this in the settings, basic users will be protected from changing potentially dangerous setting, but advanced users can take advantage of features I normally wouldn't want users messing with.
