Missing messages in csv which are associated to images

[andelepeter]

I am using the compiled version for windows and for me it looks like all messages are missing in the csv export which were sent in combination with images.

Same problem.
The reason is that messages containing images are treated as MMS. Signal creates several tables, namely "sms" and "mms", each with its own set of messages. If signal-back only reads from the "sms" table we have a problem.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

Btw already very happy I found this tool, saved the day

Maybe you might be interested to have a look at another tool: https://github.com/pajowu/signal-backup-decode
I use it to convert a Signal backup file into a sqlite3 database. Then I parse the content of the tables with SQL queries to get a copy of both SMS and MMS messages.

Interesting! I will have a look
