Migration from old web version to new text version

[sojusnik]

What would be the proper way to migrate all settings and feeds with the database to the new text (TextBrowserViewer) version, from v5.0.4 on Linux installed through Flathub?

In the web build, backup your db and settings in File > Backup Settings.

Then in the text build, restore it in File > Restore Settings.

I see, that makes perfect sense. Okay.

I understand, but in the case of the Flatpak packages, the path for the settings and feeds database are different:

web: ~/.var/app/io.github.martinrotter.rssguard/config/rssguard5/ text: ~/.var/app/io.github.martinrotter.rssguardlite/config/rssguard5/

AFAIU, doing File > Backup Settings + File > Restore Settings is obsolete, if you copy the whole rssguard5 folder to the new path?

Why would it be obsolete? Though manually copying should also work...

Yes, you can absolutely copy the whole folder.

RSS Guard is actually designed to exactly support that and even across platforms. I share one-single rssguard5 folder for all my RSS Guard stations - one is Windows, one is Linux. Same data.
