Skype Chat Viewer
Purpose
This tool can be used to view old Skype Chats from old computers!
If you know you have a working Skype Instance there you should firstly export the chat before
connecting this computer to the internet!
I made this tool to make it easier to view the exported chats, I didn't find any other tool which
could render the chat like a "real" chat.
⚠️ ATTENTION: This tool works only with old skype versions!
Exporting your old Skype Data
- The data is located at
%appdata%\Skype\your_profile_folder. - You can backup the whole directory, but for reading the chats you only need to export the
main.db-file. - You can open this file then with this tool or copy this file to the same directory of this tool and it opens automatically!
- You can select the conversations you want to read
Features
- Shows all conversations!
- Loads messages with paging (loads more messages if you scroll down)!
- Shows chat messages like a real chat (time, sender, left: if you recieved it; right: if you sent it)!
- Parses smileys like
<ss type="smile">:)</s>as:)! - Search in chat using the searchbox!
