Support for threads

[aytey]

Hi all,

(this isn't really an issue, more of a "look here" if someone needs to dump channels with threads)

I recently wanted to export some private channels, but with all the solutions I tried:

• https://github.com/lumbric/slack-export

• https://github.com/cekees/slack-export/tree/use_slackclient

neither of these supported exporting threads (which my channels use heavily).

I know there's some discussion on this, but I setup a new app in the last week (December 22nd), added permissions and successfully got both the lumbric and cekees exporters to work. However, the slackclient-based on was nowhere near successful as the lumbric one (same token, same everything ... lots of missing private channels).

Anyway, I added support to the lumbric version for dumping threads:

• https://github.com/andrewvaughanj/slack-export/tree/thread_dump

The export format exactly matches the export format you get if you use Slack's "official" exporter.

Cheers,

Andrew
