I'm using context admin for various tasks. Now I want to export the pages and can do this fine (so far), buth I have one question about "views administration" context admin pages. When I export the page settings I don't get the view as well. When exporting via Features I don't see the view as well. So all I can do is export the view by hand from the views backend.

Is this by intention? Maybe it would be possible to add the view to Features? I think they are not shown because the are "already in code" for Features?

One follow up question about the VBO views. Would it be possible to choose an already created view instead of creating a new one?

You don't have to export the view because the exported page carries all the relevant details for rebuilding the view. Just export the page and everything should come together ok. If it doesn't, then clear the cache, but the module install should do all that for you.

Also, as for using a view you've already created, that's clearly panels territory and I don't want to infringe there in this way because I don't think I can provide any better of a solution. Hopefully this gives you some ideas on moving forward here. :-)

What about the case where you want to customize the generated VBO View and export it as part of a Feature? I did this before, but now am struggling to remember how I did it. Every time I manually add the customized View to the Feature it just gets removed on Feature Update.
