Group chat individualization

[teamfridge]

This may be functionality I haven't figured out yet, but would be great to parse group chats and get stats per individual user of that single group chat. Am exploring with Whatsapp exports but can't find a way as yet.

@teamfridge not sure I understand. When you parse logs from a group chat, each message should have its own senderName, which allows you to perform analysis on a per-individual basis. You just have to group/filter the dataframes using this field.

@whatsdis the README does state Facebook Messenger group chats are not supported at the moment: https://github.com/MasterScrat/Chatistics#support-matrix.
Did you see anywhere where it states the opposite?

@MasterScrat —

I also ran into this issue with Whatsapp visualization.

I only get onesenderName in my groupchat's plot, and it is what's filed as conversationWithName in the .csv exports:

Also of note is that the senderName in my group chat csv appears to be splitting people up by time zone.

There's not just "Matt" — there's "AM - Matt" and "PM - Matt".

Not sure if that's part of the issue or what.

None of this intended as a knock against your work — I think you've done an amazing job!

@MasterScrat oh my bad! seems like I missed it you were right.

Hey @MasterScrat

When you parse logs from a group chat, each message should have its own senderName, which allows you to perform analysis on a per-individual basis. You just have to group/filter the dataframes using this field.

When running python visualizer.py breakdown on the Whatsapp exported logs (group chat), I too am getting the chats grouped by conversationWithName instead of having the graph show individual users. When using the --filter-sender filter, I'm not getting the breakdown image. I'm using visualize.py breakdown --platforms whatsapp --filter-sender "John Doe,Jane Doe", possibly passing it in wrong?
