Option to merge iMessage files for same contact #8

Closed vwkd closed 2 years ago

vwkd commented 3 years ago

The -c option is great, as it bundles iMessages and SMS for the same contact in one folder.

Unfortunately, iMessage allows to change the sender address. The contact may use their phone number, or may use any one of their email addresses associated with the Apple ID. This leads to multiple iMessage;-;SENDER_ADDRESS.txt files for the same contact, if they ever changed their sender address.

It would be great if there was an option to combine those multiple iMessage;-;SENDER_ADDRESS.txt files for the same contact.

This is a great idea, and worth tackling before image export IMO! Thanks for the issue!

@vwkd can you try out #10?
