Export and import function for logs and OMEMO keys #1191

Open allo- opened 6 years ago

allo- commented 6 years ago

It would be nice to have an option to export and import chatlogs and encryption keys, so there is a backup when the storage of the browser is cleared.

For chatlogs MAM may be sufficient, but it only works if the OMEMO key of the old session can be imported. A log export e.g. as zip with .txt files would be nice, because MAM can have quotas in storage space and retention time.

Can somebody tell me how I can access _converse from the browser console? Then I could hack together something myself:

@Mic92 The _converse API object is protected and only available to whitelisted plugins. If you want to use it you'll have to write a plugin.
