GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 709189
import xchat (etc?) settings
Last modified: 2021-06-10 11:04:11 UTC
It would be sweet to be able to detect and import xchat settings (and maybe logs) when starting Polari. It is a lot of work to add all your channels and servers again.
What would you consider a good approach to deal with this ? I think we may fetch part of xchat code to create an importer .. Or start a new one by grabbing specific data required from .xchat settings...

Created attachment 335648 [details] migrate-xchat.js This can parse xchat-gnome servlist_.conf files. There's no good to stuff that into the Polari account settings though. I'll try to provide an example file.

I did this a while back: https://github.com/hadess/xchat-polari-migration
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Polari, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/polari/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
