Hi @zoff99, why You marked this ticket as invalid? I tried TRIfA Android version and it created new TOX ID on start, why we can't import our existing TOX profile on start which was available in very early versions of uTox/qTox, etc?

trifa desktop does not need any import or export function. the toxsave data file is just a file. you can copy it.

Good! 🙂 I'll try it. What about Android version? @zoff99 may I create ticket for this? aTox allows to import name.tox on the first start and only 1 export item in menu - works just fine. Same for uTox/qTox, etc. Why do you have 3 import/export options in TRIfA? It is very confusing! Can we have standard feature for Tox clients, please? Import/Export only 1 *.tox file? Thanks!

Wrong! I tried it. Both uTox and qTox use ~/.config/tox path so we can select necessary profile on start. TRIfA starts with ~/.local/share/trifa_material so need to manually copy/rename file which is also unclear as uTox and qTox both use name.tox file, while you use toxsave.tox. So it is not clear what file to replace/rename, etc.

Please implement normal standard feature.
