How can i save iMessage conversations on OSX?

Is there any way to store a iMessage conversation which i wrote on a Mac? I've found lot's of programs which allow to do this with conversations on an iPhone but not on a Mac.

I tried the approach with the ~/Library/Messages/Archive - but there ain't no Archive folder - just the chat.db and a folder called /Attachments.

Any suggestions?

Solution

  • I don't know why but in OSX 10.10 it works!

    For non-technical folks:

    1. open terminal
    2. type cd ~/Library/Messages/Archive
    3. type open .

    this opens the Archive folder for you. You can then copy the content.
