I just tried. Old app exports a directory, new one wants a zip. Zipped the dir and offered to new one. New one complained that some expected file was missing. Gave up and set it up again with it’s new keys (phone only syncs one dir off my home server, not a big deal) and now it’s going great.
I could export and import with minimal issues around half a year ago after it was discontinued.
Based on what @eager_eagle@lemmy.world said maybe try installing an older version, importing, then updating.
I tried it, but it didn’t work for me, so I had to reintroduce the device and share the directories again. But you don’t have to transfer all the data again, it’ll just do a full scan and transfer the diff as usual.
Can I move from the older app to the fork while keeping all my configuration?

There are instructions on the repo on moving to the fork, you need to download a specific version to do it and then update.

Also tried with the oldest version of the fork on f-droid, it could not import the old app’s config.
