Numbers to Name bug

[riyadshauk]

Very awesome tool! This doesn't work with multiple whatsapp phone numbers associated with one contact name. It worked when I went back and changed the name of the person in my contacts associated with that person's phone number for the specific conversation I wanted to transfer, which was buggy and unexpected, but still awesome.

Hi. Thanks for trying it out.

Just to make sure I understand right: you have a contact with two different phone numbers, and each phone number has a different Whatsapp account, so you have two different conversations with the same contact? It happens with Whatsapp, not SMS?

Does it show an error, or just output only one of the conversations instead of both?

Yes, that's correct. I have exactly two different conversations with the same contact (though, I imagine the specific number, two, is irrelevant to the fact that I have multiple numbers associated with one contact; rather than having a one-to-one injective relationship, it is many-to-one). They both, then, have the same conversation name (well, until I made a new 'contact' for this person's other number on my phone -- which is not what how I want to keep it saved on my phone -- subsequently re-backed up my phone with iTunes, and reran your Python script... to be exact).

It gave me an error on the SMS part, though I didn't care about the SMS functionality (looking back at the SMS output, it looks like it stopped short as I don't see a number of my SMS conversations there). As for the Whatsapp conversations, it worked, but it only transferred one of the conversations from that contact (which happened to be the shorter one -- or perhaps it may have overwritten the html file?), and it did, in fact, transfer all the media associated with the conversation that was not apparent as a file outputted (along with seemingly the media for the other conversations on my whatsapp app)...

If this isn't enough information, I would assume it's easy to see an idea of how things are working by looking at your code and extrapolating from there (which I don't really have much time to do right now, nor would I be as good at you at understanding all the stuff you've done to make your awesome tool).

Can you please paste the error you get with the SMS part? I'll try to fix both.

This should work now. Do you mind giving the latest code a try? Thanks

Hello, that's a great tool, thank you for you time to do it. Do you have any plans to do same tool but grab all info through web.whatsapp.com . This scenario will be very helpful for everyone who have encrypted backup on itunes, additionally if they do not remember the passcode of this backup.
