The "Import settings" function seems to be broken in iReport 3.7.3. After the first start of the iReport it asked me whether to import the settings from previous version. I have chosen my 3.7.2. installation. But after finishing and restarting the iReport it doesn't seem to import anything. No custom classpath elements, no custom data sources.

I had to copy the settings files manually:-( I have copied the whole settings directory, hopefully I didn't damage anything...

Workaround:
Select Tools -> Import settings
Specify manually the location of your old iReport installation

When manually specified the location of the previous iReport configuration files the import of the settings was successful.

But look at the screenshot that I've attached just now. It has correctly recognized that i have previously installed versions 3.7.0 and 3.7.2 - the 3.7.2 I haven't deleted yet. (of course, I have installed also some versions before 3.7.0 but I have deleted the settingsof them) If I start the import as displayed on the picture it doesn't import anything.
