new version of #1467 https://support.delta.chat/t/progress-on-feature-export-ch…at-to-zip/1225 ## TODO - [x] Fix code to work (async core) - [x] export to json, not html - [x] export api takes absolute destination path as argument - [x] ~~add location to message (note: requires an api to get a location by its id)~~ rather reference it and export a list of all locations of a chat - [x] export message infos and save them to txt files (those can be linked from the messages, they are stored in msg_info/[msg-id].txt) - [x] export raw message data (email source code) if `SaveMimeHeaders` is enabled - [ ] Handle errors (get rid of most unwrap) - [ ] ffi - interface - [ ] Tests - [ ] Documentation of format so others can develop graphical viewers for it - [X] Documentation of folder structure - [ ] documentation of chat.json format (maybe a json scheme, that we could use also for testing?) - [X] Include timestamp/date of the export Suggestion for clients calling this function: when showing dialog to set destination prefill file name with `[chatname]_Chat_Export_[date in iso format].zip`

There is an ongoing effort to do that.

I hope that it will be available for all soon
