HI all,
my question is is possible to save my preference, general setting, space, color, name of layer,
Design rules, ecc.

this for reuse the same configuration for another projects.

That make me thinking about create your own template - is the only thing I can see it do that for now.

DRC settings can be imported from other projects (I am not sure if this is already the case in 5.0.x or if this is one of the new 5.1.x features.)

Colors for layers are stored in a global config file (inside your users config directory. ~/.config/kicad/pcbnew for linux.)

Some of the other things can be transferred using custom templates.
