Export Conversations Plugin?

Product requests and ideas

Hi I’m new to Jami, and love it! I’m coming from Matrix which is great in its own way but the peer to peer aspect of Jami makes it better IMHO as there isn’t the heavy lift of self-hosting.

One thing I really miss from Matrx, however, is the ability to export conversation history. I can’t see any way to do this in the UI, and think that a plug to allow export of the conversations into text or HTML would be ideal.

If there is some way to do this already, either through the UI or some command line tool please let me know.

Thanks for creating such a wonderful open source tool!

FWIW, I have found that one very quick and dirty way to get at the messages is to do a “git log --reverse” when in the conversations folder.

It’s less than ideal, and a plugin would be much better, but it does give you the conversation text (along with a lot of extra stuff I don’t necessarily want) in chronological order. :slight_smile:
