Way to visualize files downloaded from chat (archive.dht) #252

Sorry to use the issues page for this. But I was wondering how to access the files downloaded from a Direct Message channel. I have the archive.dht file, but don't know how to visualize its content.

Do you mean anything specific with 'visualize', or are you just trying to view the messages?

Mndb1 commented 7 months ago

The messages I'm able to view just fine, I just can't find a way to view the files that were in that direct message. Am I able to do that?

You must use the Downloads tab and download all files within 24 hours of tracking the messages. Discord does not allow viewing files uploaded to their service outside of the Discord app, all links to those files expire after a day.
