Attachments downloaded in standard export although no -download flag

Describe the bug
When doing a standard export, then attachments are downloaded although there is no additional -download flag in the command.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior: Run slackdump like this

slackdump -export my-workspace -export-type standard

Expected behavior
Attachments should not be present.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: windows
  • slackdump version: latest v2.4.1
commented

Note it might as well be useful for slackdump to allow for the download of all attachments or only these present in private channels/DMs - not these present in public channels. Maybe via a flag like -download [all (default) | private-only | public-only]

Hey @jo-chemla this is expected behaviour, and a design flaw: have a look at this #227 where I explained why this happens.

Also, thank you for a great suggestion of the download behaviour, I'll create a separate issue for it.

Thanks for getting back! I also did not notice the no-download behavior - maybe the doc could clarify there are these 3 modes

  • nodownload (don't specify anything)
  • standard (add -export-type standard)
  • mattermost (add -export-type mattermost )

V3 will have updated logic, and this won't be necessary, I just need to find some time to finish it 😂
