--- Comment #3 from Wayne E. Nail <altbins...@yahoo.com> ---
At risk of violating some rule, I am pasting an IRC conversation snippet
showing how I finally resolved the kjots .book file import problem, years
later, on 20 February 2018. This was to migrate a version of the .book file
stored on a Fedora 21 system to a Fedora 27 system. I don't remember how I
managed to migrate from Fedora 15 to (eventually) Fedora 21.
The trick to migrate from F21 to F27 was to install akonadiconsole, which is
not an easy package to find, and which eluded all my attempts to search for
anything related to kjots.
So, apparently, the import issue has been solved. It *may* be necessary to copy
the old-version-to-be-imported subtree to the new system in order to be able to
navigate to it using the akonadiconsole GUI (with 'show hidden files' enabled).
<argonel> maybe so.. dnf install akonadiconsole
<Acrophosist> Okay, I do now. Nice of them to let me know what the name is
;-)
<Acrophosist> I mean, I searched that
<Acrophosist> Good grief. It's under 'Development' category
<argonel> oh you're using a gui tool of some kind?
<Acrophosist> This is probably what I needed. It even has kjots and Notes
categories
<Acrophosist> Well, yeah, the akonadiconsole, now
<argonel> well, maybe you can use it directly dunno
<argonel> because i don't know what i'm doing i'm just having you repeat
what i did :)
<Acrophosist> argonel: Marry me! ;-)
<Acrophosist> It *worked*
<argonel> lol cool!
<Acrophosist> I have been trying to get this done for... geez. Years!
<argonel> what did you do in akonadiconsole to actually get it to load
the data?
<Acrophosist> I literally ( and I use that term in its most literal sense )
cannot thank you enough
<Acrophosist> Navigated to the copy of the directory containing the F21 book
that I had pasted into ~/.local/share/notes/.aPAZXfDvf4c.directory/<nameofbook>
and the console said it was a valid maildir, so I clicked go and it did it
<argonel> Acrophosist: navigated how?
<Acrophosist> Specifically, in akonadiconsole, selected Agents/kjots,
Configure, Configure Natively, Maildir, (navigated to ~/.local dir
abovementioned), clicked OK, done
<Acrophosist> There's a browse button at the end of the location bar
<Acrophosist> You have to right-click to select 'show hidden folders' and
then drill down again
<jankusanagi_> \o/
<Acrophosist> ^ whs
<argonel> you have a kjots agent?
<Acrophosist> It's listed in the akonadiconsole gui
<Acrophosist> Both kjots and Notes ... which helps clear up some conflation
from previous versions
<argonel> ok weird, i don't have kjots
<Acrophosist> When you find the directory containing valid data .. I still
don't know if it will read .book files but I will check tomorrow and report
back .. it will tell you 'The selected path contains valid Maildir folders.'
<Acrophosist> You might need to install kjots separately, or depending upon
distro, some package that contains kjots in the PIM packages
<argonel> this sort of thing is where akonadi gets its reputation. i
*have* kjots, and with data in it :)
<Acrophosist> # dnf list | grep -i kjots ... kjots.x86_64 5.0.2-7.fc27
