How to import old mafiles

This page explains how you can import mafiles from SDA and problems you may face

In NebulaAuth there 4 different ways to import your mafiles:

Press Import in File menu on the app bar
Copy selected mafiles in explorer's folder with CTRL+C and press CTRL+V in NebulaAuth
Drag mafiles from folder directly to NebulaAuth's window and drop (Drag'n'Drop)
Just put them in mafiles directory in NebulaAuth's folder and restart the application

Problem: encrypted .mafiles

If maFile is not imported and the application returns the error "Import error: 1", then you need to make sure that maFile is not encrypted: Open the file in any text editor and check that it has JSON format and starts with: {"shared_secret": "........

If you see some unstructured data like that: eyJlbmNyeXB0ZWQiOnRydWUsImZpcnN0X3J1biI6ZmFsc2UsImVudHJpZXMifQ==

You should decrypt your mafiles

Decryption

Open the old SDA application
Enter your encryption password
Click "Setup Encryption"
Enter old password if required
Leave new password blank and continue

Your files are now decrypted and you can import them into Nebula
