I was mucking around trying to replace the newest version of Koreader with an older one (2021.09).
I replaced everything in
\.adds\koreader\
with what I THOUGHT was the full older version for Kobo, but turned out not to be
(I used the 'code' download on
this page).
Foolishly I didn't make a copy of my original set up, but I at least made a copy of the result of the action just described.
So I assume all the customised user files are in that folder (which we will call Folder X).
Then I just deleted everything from \koreader and replaced it again with the latest version.
Of course when I restarted, all my various settings and lists were back to defaults.
No customised program settings, gestures, fave list, folder shorcuts, history (which I use alot)...
That's alot of work to restore manually.
But luckily I still have Folder X, which should have all my customised files.
The only problem is I don't know WHICH files I need to copy over.
Can someone give me a quick run-down of what files/folders store the following:
- Gestures
- Favourites list
- History
- Favourite folders
- Various defaults for the Explorer and reader?
I expect this might help others and me to make a good backup of these files in the future (although I admit, copying EVERYTHING might be just as good!)
