How to load complete history with version 0.16.1

[viertelb]

I have 0.16.1 installed on an old Windows Laptop and want to load the complete history of a chat. Unfortunately, the only two options that are displayed in the right-click context menu are "Copy" and "Copy (with names)" (I loosly translate from German).

I have about two times the size of the monitor displayed as lines from the chat and I want to load the other ones. There seems no option to do this.

Also, I only can copy lines that are marked. Unfortunately, I cannot mark lines out of the monitor size (e.g. by automatic scrolling).

I found the logfile, but it seems to be encrypted (this is new, I remember this log file beeing unencrypted).

How can I load all of my history?

Would it help to install a newer version? EDIT: I tried to start with v.0.18 and it loads the same text, but lets me not load additional history. To be honest, I am unsure if there actually IS any additional historical chat data, but I remember that there is an option to "load history" somewhere.

I know that in another version I can load history for a specific date. Is it possible to just load all history?

There's no way to load it in the client currently. But you can export the available history to plain text, if you right click on the friend, an view friend settings.

Without dates.
