Claws Mail >

See also RSS

• It leaves crap around in its tags database. So if you make a directory and move things around.. things will linger. Maybe this is just an issue with my making changes when it was active the one time.. I'm not sure.

Directories here:

"tagsdb/#rssyl/My Feeds/.*"
RSSyl/*

Files here:

folderitemrc
RSSyl/feeds.xml maybe

Correcting RSSyl YouTube feed names ∞

Importing from an OPML file lists all items as "Uploads by username". I just want the username.

First, quit Claws Mail with control-q.

# Backing stuff up..
\cd  "/home/user/.claws-mail"
\cp  --force  "./folderlist.xml"  "./folderlist.xml-BACKUP"
# Huh, it doesn't exist any more!
# \cp --force "./RSSyl/feeds.xml" "./RSSyl/feeds.xml-BACKUP"

\cd  "/home/user/.claws-mail"
\sed \
  '/name="Uploads by / s/name="Uploads by /name="/g' \
  "./folderlist.xml" \
  > "./folderlist2.xml" \
` # `
\mv  --force  "./folderlist2.xml"  "./folderlist.xml"

# If in the root:
# \sed '/path=".Uploads by / s/path=".Uploads by /path="./g' folderlist.xml > folderlist2.xml
# If in the folder "YouTube", then change the command.  It's odd that I don't have to keep the .YouTube in the path.
# TODO: Update this to be universal?
\sed  '/path=".YouTube.Uploads by / s/path=".YouTube.Uploads by /path="./g' \
  "./folderlist.xml" \
  > "./folderlist2.xml" \
` # `
\mv  --force  "./folderlist2.xml"  "./folderlist.xml"

\cd  RSSyl
\rename  "Uploads by "  ""  *
# Huh, it doesn't exist any more!
# \sed '/feed name="Uploads by / s/feed name="Uploads by /feed name="/g' "./feeds.xml" > "./feeds2.xml"
# \mv --force "./feeds2.xml" "./feeds.xml"
\cd  ..
\cd  "tagsdb/#rssyl/My Feeds"
\rename  ".Uploads by "  "."  .*

Happy? Delete the backups:

\cd  "/home/user/.claws-mail"
\rm  --force "./folderlist.xml-BACKUP"
\rm  --force "./RSSyl/feeds.xml-BACKUP"

Unhappy? Restore the backups:

\cd  "/home/user/.claws-mail"
\mv  --force "./folderlist.xml-BACKUP"  "./folderlist.xml"
\rm  --force "./RSSyl/feeds.xml-BACKUP"  "./RSSyl/feeds.xml"

Have some leftover "Uploads by " directories you want to merge? You can try this:

However, I don't think this is a good idea at all.. it's merging the dotfiles and it may muck things up. I don't see a rebuild feature for RSSyl's folders.. so you may be overwriting data..

\cd  ~/.claws-mail/RSSyl

\find  -type d  -name 'Uploads by *' |\
  while read LONG; do
    SHORT=`\echo "$LONG"|\sed 's/Uploads by //'`
#     echo "$LONG" "=>" "$SHORT"
    \mv --force --verbose "$LONG"/* "$SHORT"/
    \mv --force --verbose "$LONG"/.* "$SHORT"/
    \rmdir "$LONG"
  done \
