open Tixati .dat format to dev community so we could make migration tools like those existing for qBitTorrent for example (cuz its format is open)

Many (if not most) people are being held back from switching to Tixati because of their existing torrent list in their torrent client (including finished torrents and torrents with already deleted files)

If we could have a migration tool to fully replicate torrent list without any rechecks or changes - people would come and try out Tixati without anything holding them back cuz they could just migrate back if needed

or... just start using SQLite for it
would be nice if you at least considered the effect of the switch, - maybe it'd be an improvement in performance

so... my understanding is obviously very limited not having any of the code... but I think the .dat format is more like an image of ram that's loaded directly into ram rather than anything resembling a database.

I think it would make a lot more sense to document the .tixaticonfig format all else being equal, as it is already designed to load foreign transfers, and you wouldn't be modifying your raw files in potentially unintended ways. and from there you could just write something simple like a python or c# script to create a config file that has all your qbt transfers ready to import.

and... on that note it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to implement some sort of stored resume state in the .tixaticonfig format, though I understand there are probably reasons why it's not given how many problems skipping a hash check can cause.

Fully agree, this will bring many more users to Tixati
