A way to import tagged/flagged posts to a fresh install
Opened this issue · 3 comments
Do the feeds you have flagged with the tiny red dots get transferred when you reinstall Liferea to a new system and import them? I have a lot of bookmarks that I tagged that way and I want to know will they also transfer and be there when I import them?
There is a database in ~/.local/share/liferea and the configuration of feeds in ~/.config/liferea. If you ensure that both directories are transferred to your new system nothing will get list.
In Linux in general always backup your whole $HOME directory and restore it on a new computer to not loose personal data.
Additionally, Liferea also has the OPML export/import feature in its menus, presuming it is still there. But the method above (preserving your home directory's files) is much better.
As the question has been answered, I would suggest closing this ticket.
I suppose it is possible to make use of OPML with the entry id as a metadata, yet only for entries that still exist on server..
Or perhaps store the entries in OPML too which would make the OPML substantially larger, or a CSV file, because I think this is a special use case.
@bungadrum, I suggest to use a bookmarks database instead. I use jarun/buku.
