Chatcove 0.1.6 for macOS.

  • Export several chats at once: tick the box next to each chat in the Chats list (shift-click ticks a range), then click Export selected. Export one chat and Export all work as before.
  • Each chat gets its own folder, named after the chat. Exporting several chats (or all of them) creates one dated Chatcove-Export-... folder with a subfolder per chat, each holding that chat's file and its own media folder. A single chat is saved in a folder named after it with the date and time added, so a new export never overwrites an earlier one.
  • Folder names are made safe for macOS and USB drives. Emoji and right-to-left names are kept, and two chats with the same name get "Name (2)".
  • Progress shows which chat is being exported ("Exporting 3 of 7: ..."). If one chat fails, the others are still exported and the failed chats are listed at the end.
  • Round video messages now show in conversations and are included in HTML and PDF exports. Earlier versions skipped them.
