Hi Knugi.

Update: Tried Version 0.10. This one does not throw the 2 errors !!

Oops... Forgot to update KnugiHK/iphone_backup_decrypt. Please reinstall it from the main branch. The repo is undergoing significant rebasing, so let me know if you encounter any issues.

i found another small error in line 507 in main.py.

when using the --per-chat switch the code will not write json files, if the contact name has reserved characters such as "<>:".

Can you paste the lines around 507 here? If there are any errors, please also share.

its very simple to understand. If your conact name is "One>Way" for example, you have to strip or replace the ">" , because windows cant create filenames with ">" and your pre-chat function will fail.

[KnugiHK]

I added the > to one of the contact name and -j --per-chat works fine with the > being striped by the sanitize_filename function properly.

If there are any error messages or stack trace, please share.
