I guess you have to draw the line somewhere. If you include activity layouts, why not filters, resource assignment layouts, global changes, reports and tracking views? If you put in too many options, users will then complain about the level of complexity.

during import/export, an option should have been given in P5.0 to select the layout to be incorporated with XER file.
It is correct that XER files do not (ahd should not) contain layouts. I would not like to import an XER file, only to find that I have also imported several dozen layouts from somebody elses database that I dont want or need.
It is much easier to import a single layout file than to delete many unwanted layouts.

your suggestion will work for sure but we have to send these two files XER and PLF together as you said.
Try this method. View - Layout - Open, you can find the Import/Export button. Send the XER with PLF
i too have the same problem. I could not find any saved layouts in the exported file of XER format when i tried to import the same in another machine. its really strange to me. if someone can give a suggestion on how to retain the saved layouts during export? would be appreciated much.
I dont think it is possible. P5.0 is working on database. The saved layour can be shared by others. So it is not stored by the project.
