Export/Import saved items of a conference

[zuphilip]

When using Giggity on multiple devices, I would like to export my saved items from one of them and import it in the other one. Is something like this already possible? For example is there a simple file with all saved items somewhere in a folder which then could be replaced by another version?

Hrm, looks like I've not been looking at the bug queue for a while... Apologies. :(

Interestingly exactly this functionality existed in the past, but it relied on the very old intent-based ZXing QR scanner. It didn't seem to get used much so I deleted it somewhat recently.

Also a while ago I considered adding login options + selections storage/sharing to ggt.gaa.st but never really completed that. It may be overkill, though of course manual syncing back and forth between devices is no fun either.

One other thing I thought would've been quite nice for example (to me as a person who actually quite hates using mobile phones) is a desktop web UI to browse a schedule and make selections, then export the results to a phone. But one of the few things I hate more than using phones is web development. ;)

Anyway, thanks for the vote here. I wonder what it'd take to revive this. Not as easy without the ZXing QR scanner/generator unless I import a QR generator library which is kind of against my "keep Giggity's .apk <512KiB" habit..

Oh and no, the selections are in an SQLite database, not that easy to export even with filesystem access.

I have found ZXingLite https://github.com/jenly1314/ZXingLite, could this be an alternative for you here?

Manual syncing is okay, if one does the planing on one device and then at the conference needs the selection on another device. But sure, some online syncing would even be better. Could WebDAV storage help there? It is standardized and should be easy for everyone to get somewhere a web storage with WebDAV support (e.g. nextcloud hosted ones).

I'd also like an export functionality to export the saved items, just for backup purposes when re-installing Android! :)
