Feeds not imported from 2.2.1 #7

Closed awiebe closed 6 years ago

I can export from 2.2.1 and reimport OMPL, but then I have to go through my feeds and mark all the things I've read again. This wouldn't be such a big deal if I just used RSSowl for news, but I tend to use it for comics, so this is quite a pain.

you can manually copy the db from 2.2.1 over. on the release page is a short howto where i mention the .rssowl2 folders

Ah I see it now. Thanks this did the trick.

N.B. If you didn't do this before first run, delete the existing ~/rssowl2-beta before copying the old data, or the files therein will prevent this restore from working properly.

For anybody else reading this under *NIX, here's a nice oneliner.

rm -rf "~/.rssowl2-beta ; cp -R "~/.rssowl2" "~/.rssowl2-beta"
