Switching from Ferdi to Ferdium: pre-existing users will "lose" their config

See original GitHub issue

With the merge of PR #2 , we now have a kind of broken system. Pre-existing users of Ferdi would have had their profiles in different location (for eg, in macos, the ferdi profile folder is: ~/Library/Application Support/Ferdi. With the new name, it will be ~/Library/Application Support/Ferdium. We might need to either have a page documenting how pre-existing users can move over without losing any data (just needs renaming of this folder) or provide an automated way to move them over. Just logging this bug ticket so that someone can take this up prior to our releasing any versions.

@vraravam Can we close this as well now 6.0.0 has been released or is this still an issue we need to solve?

The problem with the different config strings still unresolved, see https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-app/pull/473#issuecomment-1185293037.

I checked the settings.json from my the Ferdi directory in my backup and it has this line, yes…

So I assume https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-app/blob/fa1a7037b47f2e0114d8abc5a99d29239bd3637b/src/api/apiBase.ts#L73-L75 is responsible here. It checks for the exact string with “Ferdium”. Using the same string as UI string and as config options seems not ideal anyway. But I guess the quickfix is to accept the old string and also return No in that case.
