Description

I had Quassel installed on a previous GNU/Linux distribution installation, and I have it installed on my current system. I would like to be able to import the data (mostly logs, and settings) from my old user directory's .config/quassel . I don't want to just overwrite the existing directory with the old one, since I've amassed new data.

A good approach would be to back up the current .config/quassel directory first, then selectively merge the old logs and configuration rather than replacing everything. Quassel’s data structure can vary by version, so identifying which files contain the logs versus settings would help avoid overwriting your newer data.
