File extension to save/export account?

Support in English

Hi there,

i just wonder which file extension to use to save/export my jami account? Because jami on my phone can’t see the file that i exported from my PC.

Maybe I am blind, but after searching for about 15 minutes i wonder why i can’t find anything on that in the documentation?

Thanks!

:cry:Should be .gz , but … the desktop client doesn’t add a extension.

Yes, that does the trick. I can now open the file in my phone. Thanks!

In the new version the extension has been changed to.jac, but why not.jac.gz? Now it looks less compatible.

If you have a previous Jami account that has been exported, it is understood that changing the extension from *.gz to *.jac works.
