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.
