Import configs via cmd

[ipodlelle-sketch]

Hey i just build the apk from the latest github files. The first thing i noticed is that since the Scoped Storage Implementation, it is really difficult to access the config folder. It`s basicaly only possible with workarouds to put your files there.

Can someone program a import command that imports files from a choosen location.

I am by no means a developer and can barely understand written code so i´m not able to do it myself.

Hello,

I also stumbled upon this small import old configs issue :)
It is possible to import them with mv/cp (move/copy) commands.
You can execute them in tui.

For example prepare your old configuration files and place them in tui_old_conf folder in main directory of a normal file manager.
Then path for that folder should be /storage/emulated/0/tui_old_conf/ .
For safety please make a backup of old configuration files.

Here are commands:

mkdir /storage/emulated/0/tui_backup_conf
cp /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ohi.andre.consolelauncher/files/* /storage/emulated/0/tui_backup_conf/
cp /storage/emulated/0/tui_old_conf/* /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ohi.andre.consolelauncher/files/
restart

Please check for typos but should be ok.

Sure some command like config --import would be nice.

When I was restoring my old configs I got some luck to find couple small issues.
As for me it was little confusing that home folder config is actually set to: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ohi.andre.consolelauncher/files/
And not /storage/emulated/0/
I sometimes used that terminal for normal file management.
Did spend good couple minutes on trying to get out of that new home folder :D

Apart of that i noticed also:

cd  with space produces an error: no home directory (HOME not set) -> after setting HOME variable before it works but have no idea if it is possible to set it persistently.
 
cd ~ and cd ~/ also doesn't work for home coming.

My last discovery was now when I was validating old config restoration commands.
If you would like to copy single file from old config you type /storage/emulated/0/(now it starts to give you hints on what is in that folder) so happily you start typing/tui(hint click to confirm)_old_conf/cm(click to confirm but now without happy ending :D) You are starting line with cp cmd.xml. Guess some ordering suggestions problem because if you don't start to type cm but after / just click cmd.xml path is correct.

As for ideas on how to solve/improve those.
Guess it would be nice if ~ would work like in normal terminal. Maybe there should be like home and tui-home path in configuration? One for phone user and second for that files that are bound to application.
As for myself i think i will just change default home_path configuration and make make an alias for tui-dir for now. Variables would be also a nice concept in this launcher example. HOME, TUI_HOME because it would be possible to use them inside commands and aliases.

Cheers

I build a "config -inport" and "config -export" in the config.java file with the help of ai and build the app and it works so I gave the code to @cycloarcane to review as I don't want to contribute code i don't fully understand. But haven't heard back jet.
