Go from "local" named connections to shared named connections

I have a couple of named connections set up in FME Workbench and they're currently stored in the default location (wherever that may be). How would I go about migrating those to a shared set of named connections on a network drive?

At first I was able to right-click on a named connection, choose export, save it as a .xml file, then specify a named connection file in the Default Paths tool (which creates an empty one) and import the .xml file there, but after a restart of FME Workbench that right-click option has disappeared. Happens on both FME 2015.1.2 and 2016.

I just tested going into FME Options / Database Connections and right-clicking on the entries works fine, I get the context menu with the export as XML option.

Using FME 2016.0.
