IntelliJ - Import configuration from old version after first run : <p>I recently installed version 2017.2 of IntelliJ IDEA. I would like to keep my settings from my old 2017.1 version. IntelliJ's <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/install-and-set-up-intellij-idea.html#r_Install_and_set_up__product_.xmld320216e288" rel="noreferrer">support site</a> shows the following dialog box that is supposed to show up when you run the newly installed version for the first time.</p>

<p>However, neither when I was installing the new version, nor when I ran the new version for the first time, was I ever shown this dialog box. I attempted to import settings from my old version via  the <code>File | Import Settings</code> menu option, but it expects a <code>.jar</code> file that would have been exported from an old version by going to <code>File | Export Settings</code>, which I did not do in the old version before installing the new one.</p>

<p>I do still have all of the config from my old version in <code>%MY_HOME_DIR%/.IntelliJIdea2017.1</code>.
How can I import those settings in the same way that the above dialog box would have done had it shown up when I opened the new version for the first time?</p>
