Cross platform save transfer? (Android --> PC)

So, I've been trying it for a while with no success. I used the export feature on android, renamed the file and basically put the save file in the Windows version of the game under www/save/file2.rpgsave (overwritten an existing file) and well it showed "Cannot read property 'versionID' of undefined" while i know this wasn't documented anywhere, i thought i might as well give it a shot

my question isnt pertaining to this specific problem of versionID not being read (both games were the same version, just one Windows and the other android) the question is - is it possible for me to take a file from android and use it in Windows

Secondly, i looked a bit deeper and realized that the dev for updating files copies the entire www folder instead of just 'save', which would mean that the www folder holds some value in of itself for local game data, or thats what i perceived, and you cannot do that on android. I used Zarchiver to access android's data folders, while a lot of games, including many renpy' games had their folders visible, with files in them as well. Renryuu Ascension was nowhere to be found.

This would mean to copy the www folder (if there even was one on android) i would need to first need to root my device and pluck the file out for the off-chance that it would work.

clearly a bit of a dead end

so, does it work, can i make it work? did i do something wrong?

I think it works, but you have to "import" the file that was exported from android, not rename the file and treat it like it's a normal save file.

That's also where the problem came in, couldn't find an import export option on the windows version

Developer

Oh....right....I forgot I didn't add that option to the public windows release. Since you can access the save files freely on windows, it felt rather redundant. :D
You can send me the android exported save file to my mail at Naughty-Netherpunch@web.de and I'll turn it into a normal windows save with the import feature. Afterwards, if everything works, I'll send you back the save for windows.
Sorry for the troubles.
