From where do I import settings from previous version of Android Studio?
I used a method to trick the Android Studio to import settings from previous one without exporting the settings and it worked.
Just go to your previous .AndroidStudio\config
folder, copy and paste them all to the new one (in my scenario I updated from 1.1 to 1.2 beta) .AndroidStudioPreview1.2
(For preventing any failure, please make a Rar file of your original config, also, after it works, export it so you can import it if you need it)
