Gwibber

Can you backup your accounts?

Asked by Antonio Roberts

Is there an easy way that you can backup your account details? Such as exporting an opml file for rss subscriptions and just other details for twitter/identi.ca .

Currently Gwibber does not allow you to easily export the account details although it appears to save account details and settings in ~/.gconf/apps/gwibber/ backing up that directory should suffice. I would recommend you create a bug requesting this feature be implemented.

Account export is not currently supported by Gwibber, but you can use the gconftool utility at the command line to extract Gwibber's preferences and account data into a flat XML file that you can copy to a different computer and the load back into gconf. The following commands demonstrate how to do it:

Export:

$ gconftool-2 --dump "/apps/gwibber" > gwibberconfig.xml

Import:

$ gconftool-2 --load gwibberconfig.xml

Thanks Ryan, but at least with Lucid, using your command won't extract my accounts.
The XML-File only contains "autostart" and "sidebar-splitter"-Information.

Is there an update to your command?

Can you help with this problem?
