How to export iTerm2 Profiles

I needed to reformat my computer and now I’m having trouble copying the settings/profiles over.

I copied the files in ~/Library/Application\ Support/iTerm/

I also copied ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist but it keeps giving me this error:

Failed to load preferences from custom directory. Falling back to local copy.

Missing or malformed file at "/
com.googlecode.iterm2.plist"

I also tried saving the profile in a directory so I could send it but it doesn’t work.

Here’s the location:

iTerm ▶ General ▶ Preferences ▶ Save Settings To Folder

and here’s the output:

Failed to copy preferences to custom directory. Copy     
/Users/alexcory/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist 
to Alex_Corys_iTerm_Configuration/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist: 
No such process

The colors work, (found in the path below) but I’m not simply trying to save colors, but rather all my preferences.

iTerm ▶ Preferences ▶ Profiles ▶ Colors ▶ Load Presets ▶ Export

Does anyone know how to get this to work?
