https://sourceforge.net/p/mpgravity/feature-requests/38/Recent changes to 38: Add info to newsrc...enTue, 06 Jun 2006 20:50:34 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/mpgravity/feature-requests/38/<div class="markdown_content"><p>Either that or provide some other kind of better<br /> export. Currently the file only keeps track of what you<br /> are subscribed to and how many you have read. Silly<br /> little things like:</p> <p>1. The name you use for the server.<br /> 2. The server itself.<br /> 3. Settings for that server.<br /> 4. Dozens of other $#$@#$ things you need to set it up<br /> on a new machine.</p> <p>Are all non-exportable. I just got through spending<br /> time trying to get all my news groups set back up<br /> again, because I couldn't remember what the servers<br /> where, what names I originally used for them, etc.<br /> Simply copying the directory over does no good, because<br /> Gravity stores all this stuff not in an .ini or some<br /> place else you can import into a new installation, but<br /> in a bloody mess of registry keys. If something major<br /> happened, like my HD failing, it would be literally<br /> impossible for me to recover the original settings or<br /> even, in one case, get the right server set up, because<br /> none of its is in something you can do a backup of.</p> <p>This is one goofy issue with Gravity that has caught me<br /> flat footed at least 3 times now. It really doesn't<br /> make sense to me that the export never including the<br /> "basic" information needed to actually import the same<br /> stuff into another system.</p></div>KagehiTue, 06 Jun 2006 20:50:34 -0000https://sourceforge.neta3828f35299aead8a068ce88a5a6ad540d93a1e5
