RebeccaC I am new to Diarium but have been using DayOne for years so wanted to migrate all my entries. I exported a zip file from DayOne and saved it in my iCloud. I then went into Diarium - Settings - Migrate from other app - DayOne and selected the zip file. It came up with a message "0 entries have been imported successfully". I saw someone else on this forum had the same issue (a couple of years ago) but fixed it by installing the latest version of DayOne. I am already running the latest versions of DayOne and Diarium (3.0.17 on iOS). Is there anything else you can suggest?
RebeccaC Ok I worked it out - this may help anyone else who has the same issue. It turns out that DayOne has 2 different 'export as zip' options - Export DayOne JSON (.zip) and Export Plain Text (.zip). When I first did it I didn't notice the first option so chose the second (& I don't think the instructions actually specified). I just tried again with a JSON and it worked. Hooray.
RebeccaC For some reason though there are a lot of extraneous "\" scattered throughout my entries..... not sure why???
timo RebeccaC This is possibly due to formatting that Diarium doesn't support and wasn't able to trim away. If you send me an example Day One zip that causes this problem I can try to fix it
RebeccaC timo It looks like they appear before every one of the following symbols (there might be others too that I haven’t tried): ()-+ I made a test zip file, where should I send it? Thanks
MrKite Hello, I just imported my Day One export and it seems that there’s „\” symbol preceding every -, ) and ( (maybe some others - I haven’t checked every entry individually yet). So looks like the issue is still there.
MrKite timo sure, I just sent you an example of export via email. Let me know if you need some more information from my side.
timo Thanks for the example. I did some adjustments to the Day One migration logic that will be part of the next update!
MrKite timo thanks! In that case I will wait with my Day One import a little bit to test it when it’s released.
