Possibility to import articles from 4.x to 5.x

[blackwaterpark22]

Hello there @martinrotter, I understand you are quite busy with 5.0 so don't feel obligated to respond to this if it's out of scope

Only recently I read the warning that has probably been there for a long time already regarding the database incompatibility between 4.x to 5.x due to the major revisions and I completely understand that it will be for the better in the long run. But I also stumbled on this while looking at the milestone for 5.0 and if understand correctly it's able to import some of the data from QuiteRSS to 5.x, so I wondered if something similar could be done for 4.x to 5.x?

I can't speak for everyone, but I imagine things like filters and tags are easily replicated by hand, so they don't have to take big priority in the event that such a feature could be included, the articles are the really important ones since most feeds have a pretty short limit and it would be nice if I could import my 2+ years of articles from previous RSSGuard versions to 5.x

It's not the end of the world if it's out of scope, I can always keep a backup of 4.x somewhere when I need to check on some older articles. It just would be nice to have everything in one place if it was possible

I can imagine doing very very very simple import mechanism very very similar to the QuiteRSS I have done. It was asked for by more people.

Will think about it.
