Description

I had Quassel installed on a previous GNU/Linux distribution installation, and I have it installed on my current system. I would like to be able to import the data (mostly logs, and settings) from my old user directory's .config/quassel . I don't want to just overwrite the existing directory with the old one, since I've amassed new data.

To merge old Quassel logs and settings without overwriting new data, manually extract relevant files like `quassel-storage.sqlite` and selectively import logs using tools like quasselgrep. For settings, compare config entries and merge changes into your current `.config/quassel` directory. Always back up both directories before making edits. https://www.hhaexchange.com.co
