Skip attachments with missing thumbnails #6

Open d235j opened 5 years ago

d235j commented 5 years ago

I've found that some attachments might be missing thumbnails. This is not a great fix but it works for now.

It might fix https://github.com/mattsta/signal-backup/issues/5.

Please don't merge yet. Working on making this nicer.

@d235j, any progress here?

@ryanpcmcquen I ended up taking a different approach since the size of my Signal database was crashing the browser. I wrote a separate script that converts the extracted jsons to text logs, with attachments referenced.

Unfortunately it seems that Signal has recently changed the database schema, which means the old contacts.csv no longer contains what it used to.
