Feature request: Save/filter using user's discord ID #206

Open lfersan opened 1 year ago

any chance that instead of just having access to the user name tags, can we also save the individual user's ID? name tags change all the time and it could be easier to filter knowing that the ID for the user doesn't change (unless they make a new account)

I think user IDs tend to be for more advanced use cases. If you have that kind of use case and need to say, regularly do bulk processing of the archives where having to check name tags becomes an issue, then I would recommend opening the archive in a database viewer like DataGrip (paid) or DB Browser for SQLite (free), and use that to get access to Discord IDs for users, channels, etc.

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to include Discord IDs in a GUI, but feel free to share your use case.

Maybe having the filters at least allow it might be nice?
