Quassel IRC

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 https://www.mcdvoice.it.com just overwrite the existing directory with the old one, since I've amassed new data.

Thanks for the info I will try to figure it out for more.

Directly merging old and new Quassel data directories (specifically `quassel.sqlite`) is unsupported and risky due to potential corruption. Instead, back up both old and new `~/.config/quassel` folders. To access old logs, use a SQLite browser (like DB Browser for SQLite) to open your old `quassel.sqlite` and export desired chat history to text. For settings (`quassel.conf`), manually copy non-conflicting UI preferences. For old networks and identities, re-create them manually in your new Quassel client, using your old `quassel.sqlite` (opened with the SQLite browser) as a reference for details like server addresses and nicknames. This selective approach preserves your new data while allowing access to old information. https://www.dogwhistlesound.com
