How to reuse the existing data directory?

[coordinatio]

Hi everyone!

I've just switched from the F-Droid version to the version installed directly from the GitHub. I had to reinstall the app to perform the switch. Now I can not find a way to reimport all the data from the data directory into the app: I've pointed the app to the existing data directory and afterward it shows only the folders from there and no notes.

Is there a way to reimport all the notes and templates from the data folder, except by doing it one-by-one?

This is sadly a problem with the permission system of android. The app can only read files it has created.
You could try making a zip directory out of it and import this or just importing it on by one.

Im not a pro in android, if I forget a permission or there is a different way to access the files, feel free to correct me

(Im also suggesting you to use the fdroid version since it gets autoupdates)

Thanks for the quick response!

I've just tried that: Butterfly indeed have imported all the folders and the notes, but the notes are empty inside. Just white pages with no data.

Is there something I can do to try to fix that?

Currently, F-Droid has 2.2.0 version, but the most recent is 2.2.1 with data directory related fixes. That made me switch from the F-Droid version.

Oh that looks like a bug. I will try to test this if im home.
Yeah, fdroid takes a time updating the packages
