What is involved in converting the file?
This is one of the files I have in the directory /home/dexter/1_acuweather
FIrst, your folder in $HOME/dexter should be "1_accuweather" with 2 "c"s .
As for conversion, there is actually a lua script to convert from old conky syntax to new syntax, but not the other way round from new to old syntax.
See the rules for old-to-new conversion (post 1) and the location of the convert.lua script (command to be used is in post 2) in this thread from the siduction forum:
https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=5709.0
You kind of have to do a manual reverse conversion from new to old syntax using the above rules. Most of the changes are in the top section of the conky:
Top section
1) use "find and replace" function in text editor to replace all the "--" (which is the "commenting out" symbol in the top section of a new syntax conky) to "##". Note that it could also be just a single dash instead of a double dash
[weirdly enough, the 2nd section of a new syntax conky reverts back to "##" for commenting out symbol, and the bottom section is more or less the same as in old conky syntax]
2) remove the bracketing/bookends from the top section of the new conky
3) replace all "= true," with "yes", "= false," with "no"
4) remove all commas from the END of any line in top section
5) remove all other "=" in top section ONLY, EXCEPT in lines setting out a font size
6) remove quotation marks in top section ONLY
Bottom section
7) remove the bracketing/bookends from the bottom section of the new conky and just have the caption "TEXT" before the start of that section.
