hangups Dump messages

Hi,

will be a great improve if I can dump all messages of a conversation without interact. For example:

./hangups --dump --conversation="The testing chat" --output=mySpeak.log

Dump all messages from chat with title "The testing chat" into the file mySpeak.log

Added a pull request for a first pass at this here:

@matthiassb: @vittore probably wants to avoid interaction so the message output could be used programmatically. Did you have a different use case in mind for dumping the visible messages using a key combination?

A simple solution that avoids too much configuration would be to have an event log for all conversations that the user can grep for whatever they're interested in.

Exactly. A log without any interaction. If some filters are available it's a great thing (e.g. select specific conversation). Can I help your work?

I updated the pull request to be non interactive and utilize the --dump-conv flag. I have an issue that persists where I cannot pull the previous conversation events. If either of you have some suggestions on this let me know.

What I had in mind was having hangups run normally but printing events to the log as they arrive.

So would this be a flag on startup or a key combination that selects the current conversation and starts to log it?

A flag. So no "human presence" is necessary.
