No, but if it's simple it might get implemented (?)

Hi @ElDavoo ! Can you implement the feature to decrypt "messages.db" from the WhatsApp Desktop windows client (5319275A.WhatsAppDesktop_cv1g1gvanyjgm) ?

Thanks

I need help on this too. I couldn't open message.db. There must be a way to see inside this, how do I do it? If this is not done for now, if there is a possibility to transfer the data from Whatsapp desktop to another WhatsApp desktop and place the messages there after the QR is read, I would like to do this as well.
