Feature #1825
Support importing an older profile's data
0%
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.

o import data from an older Quassel profile without overwriting your existing data, you can follow these steps:
Backup Current Data: Before making any changes, ensure you have a backup of your current Quassel data. This will help you restore your data in case something goes wrong.
Locate Old Profile Data: Find the old profile data in your previous GNU/Linux installation. This is typically located in the .config/quassel directory.
Copy Old Data: Copy the relevant data (logs, settings, etc.) from the old .config/quassel directory to a temporary location on your current system.
Merge Data: Carefully merge the old data with your current Quassel data. You can do this by copying individual files or directories from the old profile https://www.common-lit.com to the new one, ensuring you don't overwrite any existing files that you want to keep.
