Hi !
I've installed trinity today for the first time.
Until yesterday I used an old installation of KDE 3.5 (debian, probably
lenny; but today it's squeeze with some wheezy elements). I have couple
of questions about the KDE -> Trinity transition and the first one is:
Is there an way to import as many settings as possible from my old KDE
settings directory?
Thanks !

Hey Ilya,
There is a script in the works to automatically convert KDE3 -> Trinity
profiles. Here is a link to the related bug enhancement request, with the
script available as an attachment.
http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709
I do not endorse this, and have not tried it, but Darrell has been using it
quite successfully. I've also heard that copying .kde3 to .trinity can work
as well :-) Just make sure to backup anything before you try either option.

Hi Ilya, welcome to Trinity!
IIRC, most of your settings should have been preserved if you've
upgraded to 3.5.13.
The .kde or .kde3 directory was simply renamed .trinity. (Confirmation?)
There has been talks of making the migration much easier for users,
and there are preliminary scripts on the bugtracker, so you may also
wish to try those.

Nope, nothing like this happened. But then I removed .trinity directory
and copied .kde to .trinity and now the desktop looks pretty much like
my old KDE one. There are some issues still, I'll start an extra tread
about those.
Thanks!

Yes. Aside from any centralized settings in KIOSK mode (which will be
honored by Trinity), KDE3 stored personal settings in ~/.kde. Trinity
stores them in ~/.trinity. One can simply copy the contents of ~/.kde
into ~/.trinity. I suppose one could also use a symbolic link. Hpoe

The rendered my mail unusable. So I had resort to my backup, which died :-(,
so I retreated back to KDE 3.5.10 while I still had my second backup. I have
very little spare time at the moment, so am just praying taht my temporary
computer will let me struggle on for a couple of months until I've got more
time to rebuild my poor dead desktop machine, and reinstall Trinity.
So warnings to keep good backups are essential!
