Import format - what is it - will it support RoyalTSX XML maybe?

[realaaa]

hi guys ! thank for great client from what it looks like

just trying it out as I need something for new Mac, and good old Royal TSX which I was using before needs an upgrade (and new license etc) and I am not keen to get it right now

so looked around and found electerm - great !

I can see it can import connections, sorry if I missed it - but what is the format that it needs for that ?

or do I just need to export and see what it exports?

Cheers and thanks

elecerm has builtin create bookmark with AI function, should be able to one click to convert to electerm format, you can use any llm provider to do it, bettter use private one to do it for info safe, or export a dataset example to feed AI, let AI generate proper json data or write a script to do it, so you can import to electerm

hey thanks for quick reply ! aha, this is interesting - so basically I can tell it to say - convert this XML to JSON format bookmark for electerm right?

unfortunately I don't have API keys for ChatGPT or DeepSeek, can I do this on my Claude right?

unfortunately also I cannot view the video in full resolution (don't have account in this site to see HD video) but reading https://github.com/electerm/electerm/wiki/Create-bookmark-by-AI it is a bit more clear

how do I do that using my own Claude account for safety? thanks!

cool use of AI nice :)

Any llm API, compatible with openAI format is OK, no need to be chatgpt or deepseek, just input any api, Claude API certainly works, or those API providers you register, would give free tokens like millions, more than enough to do this kind of work, just maybe not safe to expose your real password to it

thanks !

Or use this prompt to generate, electerm use similar thing to do it:

aha OK that makes sense - I will have to try a bit more - so far the generated file was not accepted by the import - as I understand after LLM generates JSON, it needs to be fed to electerm via Import

I have done an export meanwhile and yes it is a bit more clear now what the format is - so indeed maybe I will need to actually provide Claude with this as baseline example

OK this worked ! thanks again Zhao @zxdong262 !

see the Python script which was produced by Claude - and which did the job (I can confirm that resulting file was imported successfully to electerm)

rtsz_to_electerm.py

feel free to include that into the project as well - cheers, just in case if anyone else may find this useful
