[Request] wrap links into html tags and other features

[Box333]

Hi KnugiHK,

Thanks for the great script !!

• 1. would be great to have all external links matchig http*// to be wrapped into html tag, so that they can be klicked in messages
• 2. after all html files have been created, add a function that will create an overview html file, such as index.html with 2 frames (panes) or by using "aside" html tag, where the left pane will contain the contacts list, each contact linked to their single html file, that will then be displayed in the right pane. Tracked separately in [FEATURE] Introduce Overview HTML page and time-based navigation links #101.
• 3. add a function that would pull the message info details from the db such as the timestamps when a message was delivered and viewed.
• 4. add an option to preserve original filedate when extracting files.
• 5. add an option to preserve subdirs

  Best regards

1, 2, and 3. Good suggestions. Will look into it.
4. Duplication of #65.
5. It should already be implemented. You can try it by switching to the dev branch and updating to the latest iphone_backup_decrypt.

Feature 1 released in 0.9.7.

Regarding (2), it would be useful for the "index.html" page to be able to sort contacts by most recently contacted (to mirror conversation order in the app).

Tracked on #101.

For feature 3, the following have been implemented in cfe04c8:

• "Delivered" and "Read" timestamps on Android
• "Delivered" timestamp on iOS

The following are yet to be supported:

• "Read" timestamp on iOS

Please note that to view the timestamps, you must use the new theme with --experimental-new-theme. There are no plans to incorporate this feature into the old theme.

i had solved it this way before

in ios_handler.py:

       if content["ZISFROMME"] == 1 and content["ZMESSAGETYPE"] < 9:
            msgtimedel, msgtimeread = check_ns_time_keys(content)
            if msgtimedel: message.timedelivered = msgtimedel
            if msgtimeread: message.timeread = msgtimeread

def check_ns_time_keys(content):
    try:
        # Check if msginfos is None or empty
        if not content["msginfos"]:
            #print("No blob data found (NULL or empty). Skipping...")
            return None, None
       
        # Parse the bplist
        msginfos = BPListReader(content["msginfos"]).parse()
        # Check if "$objects" exists
        if "$objects" not in msginfos:
            print("Invalid structure: '$objects' not found.")
            return None, None

        objects = msginfos["$objects"]
        msgtimedel, msgtimeread = None, None

        # Check objects 5, 6, and 8 for "NS.time"
        if len(objects) > 5 and isinstance(objects[5], dict) and "NS.time" in objects[5]:
            msgtimedel = objects[5]["NS.time"][1]
        if len(objects) > 6 and isinstance(objects[6], dict) and "NS.time" in objects[6]:
            msgtimeread = objects[6]["NS.time"][1]
        if len(objects) > 8 and isinstance(objects[8], dict) and "NS.time" in objects[8]:
            msgtimedel = objects[8]["NS.time"][1]

        print(f"NS.time values: {msgtimedel}, {msgtimeread}")
        return msgtimedel, msgtimeread

    except Exception:
        return None, None

and added to message class:

        self.timesend = None
        self.timeread = None
        self.timedelivered = None

and my modified query is:

    c.execute(f"""SELECT ZCONTACTJID,
                        ZWAMESSAGE.Z_PK,
                        ZISFROMME,
                        ZMESSAGEDATE,
                        ZSENTDATE,
                        ZTEXT,
                        ZMESSAGETYPE,
                        ZWAGROUPMEMBER.ZMEMBERJID,
			ZMETADATA,
                        ZSTANZAID,
                        ZGROUPINFO,
			ZWAMESSAGEINFO.ZRECEIPTINFO AS msginfos
                    FROM ZWAMESSAGE
                        LEFT JOIN ZWAMESSAGEINFO
                            ON ZWAMESSAGE.Z_PK=ZWAMESSAGEINFO.ZMESSAGE
                        LEFT JOIN ZWAGROUPMEMBER
                            ON ZWAMESSAGE.ZGROUPMEMBER = ZWAGROUPMEMBER.Z_PK
                        LEFT JOIN ZWAMEDIAITEM
                            ON ZWAMESSAGE.Z_PK = ZWAMEDIAITEM.ZMESSAGE
                        INNER JOIN ZWACHATSESSION
                            ON ZWAMESSAGE.ZCHATSESSION = ZWACHATSESSION.Z_PK
                    WHERE 1=1 
.......
.......

I tested your code and observed that the value in the ZWAMESSAGEINFO.ZRECEIPTINFO column in my test database isn't in BPlist format. I also selected three text messages, but there are no corresponding records in the ZWAMESSAGEINFO table. Any ideas?
