System Details
OS: Void Linux
Arch: x86_64-glibc
Desktop Environment: KDE
Version: v3.2.0
Installed by: System, from a proposed package update

Describe the bug

I'm not sure if this is considered a bug, or intentional behavior. When upgrading from Cantata 2.5.0, the last official release prior to the original author archiving the project/repo, I receive a "First Run" dialog. Cantata 2.5.0 uses cantata as a directory name for configuration files, where this project uses Cantata.

Updating Cantata on all Void systems to this maintained fork will result in everybody having to reconfigure their application from scratch. Is there a full, or even partial, migration path from 2.5.0 to 3.2.0 that doesn't involve recreating everything? I copied everything from .local/share/cantata to .local/share/Cantata without any obvious bad behavior after that.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Upgrade from the last upstream release of Cantata 2.5.0 to 3.2.0 from this repository
  2. Reconfigure Cantata from scrach.

Expected behavior
All previous settings, playlists, etc are still available.

Additional context
It looks like 1e4bbad is what potentially introduced this change.

I can add a check to let users migrate data from the older versions.

Is there a chance that a tagged release with this fix can be published?
