I exported my Slack data using slack-export by @zach-snell and zipped the results. I then viewed the zip archive using slack-export-viewer. While it is working great for DMs and group DMs, it does not show any of my channels. There should be 9 channels, and I have verified that the channels are present in the slack-export dataset and in the zip archive, with lots of content therein.

How can I figure out why the channels are being ignored by slack-export-viewer?

Edit: If I use the archive generated by "standard" Slack data export, the channels show up fine, but of course the DMs do not because they cannot be exported by that method if you're on a free account! Interesting.

Edit 2: Viewer works fine if I just merge the two datasets, I can see all the data, so this is an issue with slack-export. Closing the issue.
