Bit of a strange ask and a probable longshot I know, but would there be any way to transfer logs from one browser to another? So that the new browser would have more than what has been sent through it.
Or would there be another way to more easily save logs that you want? I know you can download logs, but it downloads everything after that wake up, and I’d sort of prefer there be a way to download only certain sections, or cut unwanted portions out.
It is not impossible, but I am afraid there is no simple way to do it at the moment.
I have plans to add raw logs export/import. But right now, you have to know some Javascript in order to do it.
The logs are stored in the browser’s IndexedDB. So, if you can export that (there are Chrome plugins that can help you with it), and then import it to the other browser, you should be set.
The logs does not contain any browser specific data - only account/character data which is transferable.
Erm. Maybe someone else can help more on how to easily export/import IndexedDB?
That all sounds way more tech savvy then anything I could pull off, but I’ll at least try to see if I can do the export/import part through a plugin. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Depending on you browser, there may also be easier ways than described above. For example, on Chrome at least, you can look in C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default on your computer and find all the items in your profile. I usually copy the databases, IndexedDB, Local StorageandWebStorage` folders to a new PC (putting them in the same place). Keep in mind that this will overwrite anything you have on your new browser. Also, best to do the copy/paste when the browsers are actually closed.
I’ve moved computers a few times at least in the past couple of months and this method has usually worked for me. There are probably more folders that you could copy, but those are the ones I recall being a useful a few months ago. Edge has a similar location as well (since it’s based on Chromium). Firefox I’m sure has it as well, but I don’t know where off the top of my head and the folder names are likely different. Other browsers or mobile? You are own your own there.
Hope that helps!
