Dear Maintainer,

I have no idea what lead to the situation, I made an update and now psi
prompts to enter my account data although I had multiple already set up
for years. I seems to have lost all account data.

I tried to restore the .psi folder from a backup but this did not change
the situation.


Thanks

Benjamin Peter

Hi Benjamin,
should have been a migration wizard when you first ran psi 0.15.

Perhaps it's a little bit terse, but it should work. It has only three
options: Import Psi profile, import Psi profile and remove it, create
new profile. Obviously, the first two should have imported your old
profile.

But there is one caveat I just noticed when reading the code: If you
have a directory ~/.psi-plus/, psi will try to migrate that one instead
of ~/.psi/. Maybe you have, or had in the past, the package psi-plus
installed, and therefore have such a directory?
~/.config/psi/
~/.cache/psi/
~/.local/share/psi/

If one of these directories exists, the migration wizard is not started
again.

You could try to remove these three directories, and ~/.psi-plus/, if it
exists. Then on the next start, psi should offer to migrate from ~/.psi/
to the new locations.

Obviously, be careful not to delete anything you still need. Better make
a backup, just in case.

Regards,
Jan
