Changed Group Numbers

[maex3000]

Hi,

I'm experiencing something strange in your telegram tool at the moment. Messages are sent to the wrong groups. I requested the current group list with -c and realized that the group numbers changed. Does anybody have an idea how this could happen?

Is there a possibility to avoid this in the future? I'm asking myself if it was possible to replace the group number by the group name so that the messages always are directed right. I'm using windows batch files to send fixed messages to certain groups.

Regards

Were the groups upgraded to supergroups? I believe they get a new number when they are upgraded, and that's unavoidable but once off.

Thank you for your answer. I didn't upgrade the groups to supergroups. They only have about 20 members.

I will try to add send by group name ASAP.

I updated the code to support sending a message by group name instead of chat id, the available options are:

Usage: ./cmdApp [options] secret_file message...
Telegram-Qt for CommandLine

Options:
  -h, --help                                Displays this help.
  -v, --version                             Displays version information.
  -r, --register <phone_number>             Register a new <phone_number>.
  -l, --list                                Display contact list
  -m, --message <contact_phone_number>      Send a message to a phone number
  -c, --chat-list                           Display chat list
  -g, --group-message-by-id <group_id>      Send a message to a group
  -n, --group-message-by-name <group_name>  Send a message to a group

Arguments:
  secret_file                               Secret file to create/use.
  message...                                Message text to send to a contact

I'm not able to test the code as I'm not using Telegram right now, but I think it will work without any problem :)

Thank you for reporting.
