I good idea but we have special configs like update url and this can not in the code. But i can create a special Update file with only new files and changes. (most only the jar)
Thanks
interesting... some of the default files are needed however.
Maybe perhaps we can create a /data/defaultconfig/ config folder, which would be autocopied to /data/config/ if no files is seen there? That might be a suitable compromise.

I think that a good start is cutting all ini/txt files from the config folder in the .tar.gz archive. Jtorchat should create them only if it doesn't found oldest during the start.
So people will be able to update Jtorchat just by extracting all files in the old installation directory. They will not lose their configuration, their know buddies, their black/white list ...
Right know there are some txt/ini files in the .tar.gz archive that overwrite the oldest if the users extract them the precedent Jtorchat directory.

Ok that is possible.
What like you more: a own update file or a normal package with this?
what do you mean by that? I say this is not a very high priority task, as we are still in developing stage. This particular feature is essentially a 'ease of upgrading' feature, and is not that hard to implement after all the more important features are done. (I personally just only copy over the /hidden_service/ folder in /data/tor/ to a new copy of jtorchat)
Lets just focus on groupchat first, as we are wayyyy behind scheduled for that feature. In addition groupchat will assist us as a group in coordinating between each other about jtorchat (e.g. group meetings about a new feature).

The defaultconfig folder idea seems good. I think that it's better to have only one package for everything.
Groupchat take many time, this is a little feature. There is no problem to add them for the next Version.
Is added in the new Version, thanks.
