Well, there is a way, but it’s only available on 4.3.0-alpha1 for now. Under maintenance preferences you can click “Copy database”. It will physically copy the database file into the external storage folder. But that’s the SQLite database, not really ideal for long term storage, it’s more of a debug feature so you can import it manually later.
The “display_name” is the name of the person you had the chat with (the information is stored in another database inside the app so the script doesn’t know his/her name).
No. You need to export the database using the Kontalk preference in section “Maintenance” (“Copy database”). Then you transfer that messages.db file from your phone to your computer. Finally you run:
./messages2html.py messages.db +XXXXXXXXXXXXX "Name of your contact" >conversation-with-contactname.html
Thanks. However, I don’t see a “copy databese” section in the maintenance section, only an “export personal key one”, but I guess that’s not it :s.
