NAME
nicotine-import-winconfig - import configuration from the Windows
soulseek client
SYNOPSIS
nicotine-import-winconfig [OPTIONS] old-config-file
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the nicotine-import-winconfig
command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
nicotine-import-winconfig is a program to import your queue, user list,
password information, auto-joined chatrooms, banlist, and user
information from the Windows SoulSeek configuration.
USAGE
A typical invocation would be :
nicotine-import-winconfig "/mnt/win9x/Program Files/SoulSeek"
The program should be run when nicotine is not running. It will add the
information (download queue, userlist, password info, etc.) to the
existing configuration or write a new configuration from scratch when
no configuration exists.
FILES
$HOME/.nicotine/config
The per-user configuration file for nicotine(1) will be
overwritten.
You might want to back up the file first, but it should not be
necessary. A different config file can be chosen using the --config
flag.
configfile-userinfo.ext
In case there’s an image included in the Windows SoulSeek
userinfo, the image will be extracted and written to that file,
where configfile is the path to your nicotine configuration
file, and ext is the appropriate file extension for the image
type.
OPTIONS
When you don’t want to import all configuration options, you can choose
what to import using command line flags.
-c file | --config=file
Use a non-default nicotine configuration file to write to.
-q | --queue
Import the queue.
-u | --userlist
Import the userlist.
-l | --login
Import the login information.
-C | --chatrooms
Import the list of autojoined chatrooms.
-b | --banned
Import the list of banned users.
-i | --userinfo
Import the user information and the image.
-h | --help
Print the summary of command line options and exit.
TIPS
It is possible to share the download directory between platforms.
Nicotine can even continue downloads that started using the Windows
client.
Of course, the download directories should be the same for nicotine and
Windows, e.g. if your Windows sharing directory is F:\slsk_in and your
F drive is mounted on /mnt/media, then you must set your download
directory to /mnt/media/slsk_in.
