[OTR-users] otr.private_key: Can it be copied from Linux to Windows?

[Guy Heatley]

I assume the answer is probably "yes", but I though I would ask, in case
there are obscure complications...

I run the Pidgin software plus OTR on Debian at home and I have to use
Windows at work :-(
Can I simply copy my otr.private_key file (in the .purple/ dir)  from
Linux to Windows, so as to have the same key in both locations?

I used the Guardian Project keysync program to export my OTR key from
the Debian(testing) machine into ChatSecure on my Samsung Galaxy S3.

This was reasonably straightforward, although I ended up having to do a
manual copy (to the phone) of the exported data generated using the
command-line version (keysync) rather than keysync-gui, which hung up
whilst sync-ing.

Just though I would mention this ...

Thanks for any advice!
