Can I change the user behind the VotableThing instance? about redditsharp-deprecated-

[VictorioBerra]

I just tested this with the following code and it seems to be working.

var savedThingies = importAccount.GetSaved().ToList();
// Change login instance!
importReddit.LogIn(DestUsername, DestPassword);
foreach (var savedPost in savedThingies)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Saving thing " + savedPost.FullName + " " + savedPost.Id + " " + savedPost.Shortlink);
    try {
        savedPost.Save();
        Console.WriteLine("Success.");
    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed!");
        Console.WriteLine(ex);
    }
}

I think you'd want to just use your exportReddit to save the post again directly via the URL/thingid/however the save item portion is implemented. I haven't used it to be perfectly honest. Then if you want to remove the saved thing from the first user, use the importReddit instance to do that.

Gotcha, I will look into that now. I need to find the member of exportReddit that takes a URL/thingid.

It looks like RedditUser doesn't implement anything to actually save posts. It may need a pull request to add that functionality, i'm only seeing a way to retrieve them.

There is a .Save() on the post itself. That doesn't work? Or that won't work for this usecase you mean?

ohhh yeah that might work. So in that case you'd want to do a new "get post" on your import instance and then save the post. Alternatively I think you can actually just call the LogIn method again on your instance of Reddit to change the user like you were originally wanting to do now that I think about it more >.<
