Save current configuration as a profile

$ konsave save test
Konsave: Saving profile...
Konsave: Profile saved successfully!

Overwrite an already saved profile

Normally you would get:

$ konsave save test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/urban/git/konsave/.venv/bin/konsave", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('Konsave', 'console_scripts', 'konsave')())
  File "/home/urban/git/konsave/konsave/__main__.py", line 127, in main
    return funcs[args.cmd](args)
  File "/home/urban/git/konsave/konsave/funcs.py", line 131, in save_profile
    args.name not in profile_list or args.force
AssertionError: Profile with this name already exists

if you want to overwrite that is there:

$ konsave save test -f
Konsave: Saving profile...
Konsave: Profile saved successfully!
$ konsave save test --force
Konsave: Saving profile...
Konsave: Profile saved successfully!

List all profiles

$ konsave list
Konsave profiles:
  ID  NAME
----  -------
   0  test

Remove a profile

$ konsave remove test
Konsave: removing profile...
Konsave: removed profile successfully

Apply a profile

konsave apply test

If you are a KDE user, you can supply -r/--reload-kde which will invoke a killall plasmashell; kstart plasmashell to restart plasma and pick up the changes.

You may need to log out and log in to see all the changes.

Export a profile as a ".knsv" file to share it with your friends!

konsave export <profile name>

If the target file already exists, the date will be automatically appended to the archive name. If you want to overwrite the existing file use -f/--force

You can also specify a different output file using the -o/--output flag, for example:

konsave export trigkey -o /tmp/test.knsv

# OR dump archive on screen
konsave export trigkey -o /dev/stdout

Import a ".knsv" file

konsave import <path to the file>

If you want to import under a different name (other than the knsv filename) use --import-name

Checking what is included

The following will compare the current Konsave config (conf.yaml) entries against the user's "~/.config" folder and will list all the entries along with info on if they are:

• Backed up: Appear in the config. Entries that have False here exist in the filesystem but not in the konsave config. As such, these are configs that are not backed up
• In ~/.config: Exist in the file system. Entries that have False here are mentioned in the config but do not exist in the local system (not installed or imported)

Example:

$ konsave config-check

# Config section: configs

Entry                                    Backed Up?    In ~/.config

List files in archive

This is a basic list to allow people to do basic troubleshooting on file sizes. Anything more than that should be done by extracting and exporing the archive in /tmp (or some other temp location). Example output:

$ konsave ls-archive ~/tmp/test.knsv
File/Folder                                                                                         Size       Comp. Size

Editing the configuration file

You can make changes to Konsave's configuration file according to your needs. The configuration file is located in ~/.config/konsave/conf.yaml. When using Konsave for the first time, you'll be prompted to enter your desktop environment.
For KDE Plasma users, the configuration file will be pre-configured.

The Format

---
save:
    # This inludes configs. All files listed here are being re-installed
    # when one calls konsave apply <profile> (overwriting existing user
    # configs)
    name:
        location: "path/to/parent/directory"
        entries: 
        # these are files which will be backed up. 
        # They should be present in the specified location.
            - file1
            - file2
export:
    # This includes files which will be exported with your profile archive.
    # These will not be copied over on "apply" but only on import. Ideally
    # this section should include files like icon packs, themes, fonts
    name:
        location: "path/to/parent/directory"
        entries: 
            - file1
            - file2
...

You can use these placeholders in the "location" of each item:

• $HOME: the home directory
• $CONFIG_DIR: refers to "$HOME/.config/"
• $SHARE_DIR: refers to "$HOME/.local/share"
• $BIN_DIR: refers to "$HOME/.local/bin"
• ${ENDS_WITH="text"}: for folders with different names on different computers whose names end with the same thing.
