✨ Download channel posts together with their comments

Broadcast channels keep their comments in a separate linked discussion group. With the new opt-in --comments flag, the channel and its comments are now downloaded together — each post's comment thread is merged into the same messages.json and rendered nested under its post in the HTML/TXT/PDF exports (media in comments included).

Highlights

  • --comments — download a channel's posts with their comment threads (opt-in, channel-only; no-op on regular chats)
  • --comments-limit N — cap comments fetched per post (default: no limit)
  • GUI — "Download channel post comments" checkbox + "Comments per post" dropdown (No limit / 10 / 50 / 100 / 500 / 1000)
  • Comments respect the date window — combine with --last-days, --min-date, --max-date (comments are only fetched for posts in range)
  • Works alongside --html, --pdf, and --media
