not exactly "testing", but i dont think this really needs a whole thread.

what exactly is the export button for. i made a few addresses and clicked it and saved it to my desktop, and it put out a file that just contained what i assume are public keys. is the client still missing private key exporting and importing? its been a while since i have even had the client installed, so i have no idea. and if this isn't private key importing/exporting, will it ever come out? or are the bitcoin devs too busy changing the ui instead of implementing a very useful security feature that should have been around 2 years ago.

i also see a backup wallet feature, but no restore feature.

and the sign feature is pretty much useless as there is no validate feature, so whats the point of making signed messages that no one can easily verify.

and if i were to suggest 2 features it would be block chain backups and offline transactions

i am not angry, i am just confused. but i think what i said above is pretty much common sense for what bitcoin is.

and yes, i am aware of armory, but most users will likely never use it, so the most important features need to be in the mainline client.
