Thorium overwrites any Web Data file it did not generate #647
Comments
@awsms This is probably because of the extra search engines that I added to thorium. As part of that, an integer called "kProfileDataVersion" is set, and this number is always one version ahead of official Chromium, specifically so that people migrating from older Chromium/Thorium versions will get the new search engines, and get the new favicons with the search engines. |
That's what I assumed from the README (with the search engine changes), but why not add them to the Web Data file, instead of replacing any not-thorium made file? edit: if someone is looking to achieve for the same thing as me (ie, transferring the custom search keywords), simply open both Web Data dbs in DB Browser for SQLite, then copy paste the whole keywords table as an SQL statement (only select the short_name, keyword, favicon_url and url attributes), then paste it in the thorium db, then execute the query. |

Problem
I'm not sure if this should be a feature request or a bug, but Thorium immediatly overwrites the 'Web Default' file which contains various customized options (such as custom search engines).
I was able to flawlessly migrate this file between different chromium-based browsers (Chromium, ungoogled-chromium, Brave), but Thorium overwrites it at launch.
