[Chrome] Cannot import config file in Chrome on Win10

[kyan001]

Cannot import configuration in Chrome on Win10 environment.
Chrome: 62.0.3202.94 (64 bit)
Windows 10: 64 bit, 10.0 ver. 16299. Language: Chinese Simplified

The config file is exported on macOS, and can be imported in Chrome on macOS.
But when I do the same thing in Chrome on Win10, it keeps saying "Oops, an error occured. The file you selected is invalid".

Repro on Chrome OS, English.

Is the problem that the config file exported on macOS cannot be imported on Win10, or that exporting/importing in Chrome on Win10 doesn't work?

For me, the config file is exported from Chrome (Version 61.0.3163.120 (Official Build) (64-bit)) on Chrome OS, and can’t be imported on that same browser.

Here’s my exported config:
devdocs.json

Is the exported file named devdocs.json.txt (like in the linked file) or devdocs.json? It's supposed to be a .json file. Otherwise the import likely won't work.

[j-f1]

GitHub won’t let me upload .json files, but I can confirm the upload fails if the file is named devdocs.json.

In my case, both config files exported on macOS and Win10 cannot be imported in Chrome on Win10. Further more, I created a devdocs.json and type in every characters according to exported config file, doesn't work too.

I just tested exporting config file from Edge on Win10, and imported back to Edge and to Chrome on Win10. Neither of them can work. "The file you selected is invalid".

Same problem here. Tried different encodings, re-saving, re-typing, re-naming. Error is always "The file you selected is invalid". Version 63.0.3239.90 (Official Build) beta (64-bit). MS Edge also does not work. Firefox 58 does work with the same json file.
