Cryptomator: 1.0.X versions can't open vaults from earliers versions

[gwarah]

Hi people, I've installed 1.02 version but It can't read the vault created by 0.1.0 version. two questions:

1) Is there any way to cryptomator open or migrate these vaults?

2) If not, is there any project or issue related to this request?

Hi @gwarah, I suppose you mean version 0.10.0, but yeah back in the beta, we didn't offer any automatic migration. You would have to do the migration manually. You can download older versions of Cryptomator here: https://cryptomator.org/downloads/#allVersions

Sure Rumble, it's really this version. I've done it manually. But at the next versions It will be not necessary, I suppose.

Yes that is correct. Scince version 1.0.0 we will offer some way of automatic migration as soon as changes to the storage format require this.

[gwarah]

Ok Markus, nice.

Suggestion: put in cryptomator site any upgrade note warning the users about this issue.

Tks for the help.

Just saw that issue #71 is related. Not sure about an upgrade note on our website, because it was a beta for a reason. In the future we'll offer an automatic migration, that's why a notice wouldn't be needed either. But thanks for your suggestion! :+1:
