Description

Hello. i ve used yout application and successfully donwloaded a history of a channel. Want to send you a cup of coffee. i am not a programmer.

When iniating the process, the application asked to enter file extension separated by commas. i ve entered Html, gussing it could give the output of the chat history in Html format, like the Actual Telegram desktop applciation does.

I ve found that the output is in Json format.

-Question: Could you clarify what exactly the application step "enter file extension separated by commas" does? -Question: will it be possible to download multiple channels, meaning bulk download, or at least one by one without entering a cahnnel number each time? instead enter all the numbers at once and await the sequencial download? -Question: is there a way to have the output chat history in html page readable format similar like it is done in Telegram deskop app?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing single channel download flow in the codebase, then modify the input handling to accept a list of channel identifiers and run downloads sequentially (or with a queue) to avoid rate limits.
