The Spirit Of The Bug.

There seem to be one thing that is taking people apart in the various similar entries around this issue: Shall we have a point'n'click RMB-like option (or Xport Script) or should the kdepim devs once-for-all decide to make the handling of the full core of needed files a trivial task ?

The first option is the "Blind" one: Click a button (hit enter in your CLI), and hope for the best. If your reason to seek restoration is an unwise fiddle with some config files, you are probably dead.

The second one looks more "transparent" to me; in bug 135029 I am vouching to a "portable" holdall document folder that would make life of all easier: the backup freak (copy a single folder all over the place), the config tweaker (knows where to look for), the business-on-the-move white collar (can roam the world with his stuff on a stick)... And that architecture doesn't, on the opposite, prevent hardcore *nixers from cron-job'ing it, scripting tar.gz's of it, whatever the above conversations reflects & their technical abilities are.

&& we'll _all_ be smiling from one ear to the other,
...or so I think.
