Import items
After GD Stash has been set up, you can import your items into it. If you used the popular method of storing items in multiple shared stash files to allow for a larger storage, you can import all stashes at once by specifying the import directory. GD Stash will then import any shared stash found in this directory and its subdirectories.
In addition, GD Stash will list the items of each character found in the import directory.
Once the import directory has been specified, the shared stashes and characters can be imported as follows.
Press the 'Load items from dir' button.
The items in the shared stashes and characters are then displayed in the table below the button row.
The 'Valid' column indicates whether the item is valid according to the settings you specified on the configuration page with respect to affix combinations and completion bonuses.
With the selection buttons you can then mark the items for import. Alternatively you can manually flag the items you want to import.
To import the flagged item, press
After the items have been imported, a summary is shown
If the summary shows items already in the stash, that means the same item was in more than one transfer file (or the file had already been imported). An item is being identified as being identical, when it is the same base item, has the same affixes, the same component and augment attached and the same seed value.
Export items
The content of the GD Stash database can be exported so it is more easily backed up. Instead of backing up the entire database (most of which consists of the content of Grim Dawn's database.arz and Items.arc), the items stored in it can be exported into one relatively small file. The file uses the extension .gds
The file can also be imported into GD Stash again.
As with the import of shared stashes, the items are shown in the table below the buttons and can be imported the same way.
