Import of .pages-files fails

arbyter commented 10 years ago

When a imessages contains "files" in a special format (only osx handels them as files but the are stored as folders) the import fails.

  File "./update_db.py", line 71, in <module>
    pic = open(full_filename)
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: u'/Users/marcus/Library/Messages/Attachments/bc/12/95EF69C5-E69D-41C8-9420-F4B172F60425/Hausarbeit Neuartigkeitssprechakt - Marcus.pages'

```

Cannot reproduce. I imported a Pages file and could import it w/o problems. Here is the output of CouchDB:

{
  "total_rows": 39369,
  "offset": 39368,
  "rows": [
    {
      "id": "6AC17C3E-4D33-430E-A460-06F675C49681",
      "key": 1412712448,
      "value": {

        "id": "6AC17C3E-4D33-430E-A460-06F675C49681",
        "_attachments": {
          "attachment.zip": {
            "content_type": "application/zip",
            "revpos": 1,
            "digest": "md5-Ipw8Dsvwb5uf1gnuy8VNhg==",
            "length": 82924,
            "stub": true
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

I can download the linked file. After unzipping attachment.zip, I get the original Pages file.

@arbyter, can you check the MIME type of the file on your system?

The file arrived at me as "Mein schönes Dokument.pages.zip: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract".

It seems as if iMessage automatically sends Bundles as ZIP:

Fixed in recent 2.0 commit: attachments are now automatically zipped if they are not single files.
