Feature Request: Backup and restore workspace config.

Open rahulhaque opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Is there any way I can backup my config and restore? Any workaround or is it planned?

Btw, thanks for all the effort put behind this awesome tool.

The config is stored in your home directory. Below .config if I remember correctly. It is a simple json file. So you can save it and then just put it in the same directory in another install.

I can add a button to make a backup and an import method.

Or I could also add a way to store the settings online if that's something needed. Let me know

@DevAlien a simple export/import button would be great for new users.

I found the config file in .local/share/com.github.devalien.workspaces directory. I am running Elementary OS 5.1.7 Hera.

Also if you could have a look at this issue #55 I am facing. I can use it as SSH manager by leveraging this feature.

Just an idea 😅️ you can add an option for SSH where user enters the username and host which is the simplest approach to connect to remote servers. Which will open a terminal prompting for password.

One tool for everything. Love this and keep up the good work. 👏️

But you could do this with the command, right? You mean that you would select SSH, instead of custom command and you could set username and password, right? It makes sense to have it

Yes, I can do this now with the command. But the issue is two terminals open at the same time.

I will fix that in the following days :)
