Until there is a decal plugin or such a quick way to transfer your old friends list to the new friends list is this:
In game, make a log of your friends list by typing:
/log friends.txt
/friends old
/log
Now outside of AC, in the directory where AC is installed find the file Friends.txt
edit it with notepad so that the only text in it are your friends names and not when the list was made.
Then do some cut & pasting by adding '/friends add' in front of all your friends names:
File should look something like this:
/friends add friend1
/friends add friend2
/friends add friend3
Save the file, make sure it is in same place you found it (ac home directory)
then in game simply type:
/loadfile friends.txt
viola - your new friends list is populated.
Enjoy.

Good idea 
I wrote a plugin to transfer the friends lists with a "/friends update" command, but that requires Decal to be working

automate? sounds like more work to me....
while ingame and friends panel open:
type in chat bar, /friends old (with space)
click on the box in your friends panel, type name, click add
repeat as needed
took me all of 1.5 minutes to get 12 names copyed over
much faster than making a log, going out of game, modifying said log, going back in game and executing modified log.... in fact, the time it takes JUST to edit the log, would be the very same amount of time it will take to add them ingame in most instances

Well this method allows you to sync the friends list easily across toons....

Obviously if you only play/chat on 1 character and have a select group of friends, doing everything in game is the way to go. However if you have many toons that you spend time on across multiple accounts, creating the text file pays off quickly.
Another thing I've been doing for awhile is keeping different friends lists, some only play weekdays, weekends or show up for Gman/bobo quests. Nice having them all on a single in-game list now.

If you copy your friends list to the clipboard, it stays there between characters.
I can copy my main's friends list, log off, log on an alt, and paste it to the window.
I don't know, just seems like a lot of hassle vs copy/paste.

I did this too... It's a lot quicker when you want to populate 10+ character's lists and don't want to have to type it in or c/p it every time.
