[Feature Request] Add option for Export/Import to Restore Data

[Scotty-Trees]

Greetings,

Just discovered your app and love the look and feel of it. For years I've used a simple text file to track shows, but this app is a perfect fit in on Gnomes desktop. One thing I was curious about is what happens when I move from Fedora 38 to Fedora 39 with a fresh install, will TicketBooth have to be rebuilt manually all over again?

It would be essential for TicketBooth to have an export/import feature, so that anytime we reinstall our OS or install a new distro, we can just import our backup and get back up and running quickly. I don't know if it would be entirely the same thing, but for example Gnome's Podcast app has an import/export feature, so whenever I need to use a different distro, I can simply just import the podcast .opml file and I'm back up and running.

As it stands now, I think this would be an excellent feature to include and I hope it is possible. If you have any further questions feel free to ask and in the meantime I'll keep enjoying TicketBooth, thank you.

Thanks for your feedback. As of now, if you uninstall Ticket Booth and delete its data, you will unfortunately lose the watchlist. An import/export solution is planned and should be available in the next release.

Thanks a lot for working on this! It would be great it could import data from other (older) apps like Griffith (https://github.com/micjahn/Griffith, https://github.com/Dougis1/Griffith, https://launchpad.net/griffith). Griffith can export the database in many different formats, the main one is a zip-folder with database (db) and cfg-file. But there are options for csv, xml, gcstar, ant.movie.
