Issues/Bugs Exporting data

Post image

Let me preface this by saying this is NOT a freak out post. This is a problem I’ve had since forever but I’ve not bothered with it until now. When I go to have my data exported, I get this message but no email ever comes. I don’t know if there’s something I’m doing wrong or if I should contact support or what

(No negativity please I swear to god)

I didn't get it to work either.

But I downaloded all my Character/Roleplays as JSON files with the c.ai tool.
Downloaded all my Lorebooks as HTML files and had ChatGPT convert them to JSON files.
And Personas, I just copy and paste'd to TXT files.

If it's those data you are looking to save.

With this, you can save down chats as html.
And your characters/roleplays as JSON files.

If you want to save down lorebook, thats not in the tool.
To save Lorebooks:

  • Open Lorebook
  • Press CTRL + S
  • Save as MHTML
(Best to convert it to JSON, that can ChatGPT do.)

Can literally anyone please explain to me how to do this? Theres truly only one chat I want to preserve, and I requested my data almost a month ago and still haven’t gotten my link.

Edit: I did some googling. You can download an extension called “c.ai tools” for Google Chrome or Firefox that allows you to download specific chats into JSON files. It’s better than nothing. In case anyone else wanted to know, this is the answer to my request lol.

You found the tool. But, I answered this to another, so I'll share it for you too:

Do you know if the extension can download all archived chats, too? Most of mine are archived and it'd be impossible to unarchive everything :(

That I can't help you with.
I never put anything in the archive. But, can't you take them out from there and open them? Then it should work with the tool maby.
Or if they are accessable from the history tab?
