Theme Customization API and child themes

I've recently developed a parent theme that makes heavy use of the Theme Customization API. Is there an easy way to port these settings when a user activates one of my child themes? Currently, the data previously saved in the Customize screen disappears when activating a child theme. Of course, once they reactivate the parent theme, the settings return.

Any dealt with this yet?

• 1 Are you using the Settings API or the Theme Mods API for your Theme settings/Theme Customizer integration? – Chip Bennett Commented Feb 7, 2013 at 18:37
• Using Theme Mod. All settings on the "Customize" screen, calling them in my theme with get_theme_mod. – clark Commented Feb 8, 2013 at 14:44
