I have exported my Toxic profile and I now wish to import it into qTox, however there is no import button when launching qTox and on the wiki it does say that qTox has Semi capabilities to do this, though it leaves a note:

There was full support, but due changes ability to import through GUI was lost. It's still possible to use profiles from other clients, but there is no easy way of importing them.

So how do I import the toxic_profile.tox file that I have? And how does this process differ from importing a qTox profile into qTox?

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.

The way I did it, was to just copy the tox folder - ~/.config/tox/ - save the folder in the cloud or USB drive, And after reinstalling your Ubuntu(/Linux) machine, or you have a new one, copy the same folder in the same directory(~/.config/tox/)

At startup you will get a message window asking which profile to load, select your profile name, and then check the 'Load at Startup' option.

According to the tox wiki - for now - this is the recommended workaround.

"Importing through GUI was possible before, but due to a regression one has to do it manually now." - users:import_export - Tox Wiki
