Due to a number of hacks, the style guide can be used to show Backbone
views. This will allow a smooth path from the old way of doing things to
the new.
Class: `ConversationController`.
This function should not be used in application code as it creates potentially
invalid `Conversation` instances in our global conversation collection. We keep
making it available for testing purposes.
Using 2 hex characters [0-9a-f] will give us 16 * 16 = 256 root folders which
seems more manageable than 4096 (16^3). Assuming a user has 10,000 attachments,
they should roughly distribute at ~40 per folder with prefix length 2 rather
than ~2.5 per folder with a prefix of 3.
Using hashes, we get the benefit of deduplication but if a user receives two
messages with the same attachment, deleting one would delete it for both since
they are only stored once. To avoid the complexity of tracking number of
references, we simply generate random file names similar to iMessage on MacOS
(?) and Signal Android.
Backup creates, in a target directory:
- An attachments folder, with all attachments, each named for their
parent message's id - a GUID. If there is more than one attachment
in a given message, each attachment beyond the first will end with
'-N', zero-indexed.
- A file named messages.zip. It contains exactly what went to disk in
the original export code, but zipped up.
Export is now only 'light,' and in this new messages.zip format.
Import supports both the new format and the old format. If the target
directory has a messages.zip file, we'll treat it as the new format.
Next up: Encrypting attachments and the messages.zip!
Allows errors to be formatted and sanitized for logging. Removes sensitive paths
such as the app root directory.
Ideally, this module would be called singular `Error` but that is already a
global name. Using `Errors` plural is similar to Java convention for utilities
such as `Arrays`, `Collections`, `Files`, etc. See:

This makes it more consistent with ‘Report an issue’ under View > Debug Log.
Not using ellipsis as menu item doesn’t require user confirmation:

Use ‘Enter name or number’ as prompt’
This follows implementation of Android and recommendation from Alissa.
- A new design for the import flow. It features:
- Icons at the top of every screen
- Gray background, blue buttons, thinner text
- Simpler copy
- A new design for the install flow. It features:
- Immediate entry into the QR code screen
- Animated dots to show that we're loading the QR code from the server
- Fewer screens: 1) QR 2) device name 3) sync-in-progress
- When not set up, the app opens directly into the install screen, which has been streamlined. The `--import` command-line argument will cause the app to open directly into the import flow.
- Support for two different flavors of builds - the normal build will open into the standard registration flow, and the import flavor will be exactly the same except during setup it will open directly into the import flow.
- A new design for the (dev-only) standalone registration view
- When these install sequences are active, the OS File menu has entries to allow you to switch the method of setup you'd like to use. These go away as soon as the first step is taken in any of these flows.
- The device name (chosen on initial setup) is now shown in the settings panel
- At the end of a light import, we hand off to the normal device link screen, starting at the QR code. On a full import, we remove the sensitive encryption information in the export to prevent conflicts on multiple imports.
- `Whisper.Backup.exportToDirectory()` takes an options object so you can tell it to do a light export.
- `Whisper.Backup.importFromDirectory()` takes an options object so you can force it to load only the light components found on disk. It also returns an object so you can tell whether a given import was a full import or light import.
- On start of import, we build a list of all the ids present in the messages, conversations, and groups stores in IndexedDB. This can take some time if a lot of data is in the database already, but it makes the subsequent deduplicated import very fast.
- Disappearing messages are now excluded when exporting
- Remove some TODOs in the tests
