I was wondering if it would be possible to have an eMule migration tool: something that you pointed to the emule folder and recreated the amule config based on the emule settings.
Most settings are the same: it sufficies to just copy the files over, possibly renaming them (e.g. preferences.ini -> amule.conf)
There are some extra tune-ups to do, though.
For example, categories are stored in amule.conf, but eMule stores them in category.ini.
All paths in all places need to be converted, too: the drive letters have to be converted to mount points (in linux) and the slashes have to be changed. The appropriate mount points would need to be guessed from /etc/fstab, possibly by asking confirmation to the user.
For people dual-booting and using emule under Windows and amule under linux, this would spare a lot of time ...
Are the differences between eMule configuration and aMule configuration documented somewhere? I could try writing an initial conversion script ...
