How to import transaction history partially? #4400

Monero GUI 18.3.4 on Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.
Usually I run Monero GUI on my Windows PC, but I switched to Ubuntu for a couple of months, using the same wallet. Now I moved back to Windows, synchronized the wallet (remote node) and realized that those transactions placed on Ubuntu are not fully visible on Windows, e.g. Unknown recipient and no TX key. As I understand, that's not a bug, but an intentional behavior.
So, how to import transaction history from Ubuntu to Windows? Do I need to do something in CLI or what?

you will need to bring the wallet cache file over (which contains that info). wallet_name.keys (the keys file, naturally) and wallet_name (the cache) should be in your wallet file folder which on windows is Documents\Monero\Wallets. Paste the cache to your ubuntu machine inside the /home/username/Monero/wallets

Thanks for the response. I know there is an option just to send the files from wallets directory. However, on my Ubuntu there are also some transactions with Unknown recipient and no TX key, so I'm looking for a method to merge the files from the both PCs in a way that all the cached transactions will be fully visible. Any options to manually edit those binary files?

Manually merging them together is not possible, or at least there is no tool for it.
