iBlog Folder Selection

Agitprop is really quite simple to use, and operates in a read-only mode on your existing iBlog data so there's no real danger of corruption.

iBlog (versions 1.4.x) has a feature, documented at http://www.ibloggers.net/C1870078221/E1566497901/, that allows for automatic backups of the application data to a folder in your home folder, namely ~/Documents/iBlogBackup. Within this folder are a backup of your current blog data (iBlogCurrent), and the previous edited version (iBlogPrevious).

The actual blog files are stored within Blogs/Bnnnnnnnnnn/, where the n's are some very long random number; your blog category files are, correspondingly, within various Cnnnnnnnnn/ folders nested within that Bnnnnnnnnnn folder. These backups are complete copies of the iBlog folder within ~/Library/Application Support/

You'll need to decide which of these Bnnnnnnnnnn folders you want to use when converting your iBlog data to the MovableType import file format. I recommend the one within ~/Documents/iBlogBackup/iBlogCurrent/Blogs/. Once you have twiddled with the few options that Agitprop provides, you'll then specify where you want to save your MovableType import file, and related media files.
