I would like to read my skype message archive outside of the Skype app. And be able to export it in some sort (other than copy-paste it from my messages) as far i can figure skype only provides 30 days or archives.
Any one out there using an app for archiving / exporting Skype messages?
You can also look at skype's profile database (%USERDIR%\Application Data\Skype\%your profile name%\main.db) which is basically SQLite database and see what you can get from it. If you are using Windows 8 and above the path is %USERDIR%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeApp\Localstate\ %your_skype_profile_name%\main.db
I'll give you a hit about tables:
The tables are quite wide and usage of some fields is not that obvious, but I think you get the idea.
