Messenger photos / videos

[alex-quiniou]

Hi

I have a request. Can we get to rename the messenger photos and videos ?

The structure of folder looks like this.

• "Your conversation name_Random number and letter" Inside you have what you see in the screenshot

{
  "sender_name": "XXX",
  "timestamp_ms": 1525333177617,
  "photos": [
    {
      "uri": "messages/inbox/DreamTeamMAISCHOUW_uqJ9b98pSg/photos/31914297_1729262057138911_3467031269303386112_n_1729261867138930.jpg",
      "creation_timestamp": 1525333176
    }
  ],
  "type": "Generic"
},

If you need more informations i'm here to help you.

Second this as a really useful function. Getting the dates added back into photos/videos sent via messenger would be an amazing additional feature and really help in moving away from Facebook.

Ditto to Alex's offer of support; if there is anything I can to help here just shout, would be amazing to get this added

Got in touch with a friend of mine, @Yard1, who kindly managed to get together a python script to handle the messages. If anyone else is having the same issue you can find the repo for the script here: https://github.com/Yard1/facebookmessenger-exif

Just curious how you are supposed to use it ? @Yard1, @Zankoas.

@AlexQuiniou @Zankoas jumped the horse a little, as this tool is not yet ready for public use. I'll improve it and add a readme over the coming days :)

@AlexQuiniou The readme is now included.

@addshore Thanks for making this tool in the first place!

I feel like I should work on another iteration of this soon. I wonder however if https://datatransferproject.dev/ will basically make this code redundant (other than for use with old dumps)
