Hi,

Thanks for your great tool.

I want to have an HTML view of all my messages with media files included like with this great tool: https://github.com/GjjvdBurg/signal2html.

I successfully downloaded from Google Drive by using WhaGoDri. Because I'm rooted, I was able to get my cipher and wa.db from my Android.
I successfully decrypted my msgstore db by using WhaCipher.
Now I'm trying to generate an archive chat list and I have an issue when using WhaPa.

I click on that button:

Cli ran

python3 /home/test/whatsapp-extractor/libs/whapa.py -i 3 -wa /home/test/whatsapp-extractor/my-backup/files/Databases/msgstore.db /home/test/whatsapp-extractor/my-backup/files/Databases/wa.db -r EN

Result

     __      __.__          __________

    ------------- Whatsapp Parser -------------
    
wa.db connected
msgstore.db connected

The 'settings.cfg' file is missing or corrupt!
Actives chat list
[...]

I don't understand why this file is missing because when I click on the setting button from the app, it opens and I can edit it.

For info, I'm on Linux:
Linux linux-laptop 5.8.0-59-generic #66-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 17 00:46:01 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 20.10
Release:	20.10
Codename:	groovy

I installed the app under a virtual env python3

Thanks a lot!

It may be a bug of the last update that worked with partial paths and now they are full ones,
I will check it and let you know.

Hi,

I don't understand what you mean.
You don't "get" the file. It is part of the repo in cfg folder.

I deleted the setting file because the program generated it at startup, so that there are no problems I have included it again.
