I have searched the database and found that the error has appeared several times over the years. It has something to do with the timestamps. In my case, it concerns one and only one contact. The issue appeared suddenly, and while investigating, I noticed that while I cannot open the chat window to this one contact (all others work fine), I can open the history just fine. There, I noticed that some of the messages I traded with said contact supposedly are from tomorrow, which is nonsense. I guess this is what causes the errors in my case. I renamed the file "Logs.db" in "C:\Users\LOGIN\AppData\Roaming\Gajim". Now I can open the chat window to said contact without any issues, but of course my previous conversations with ALL of the contacts are gone.
My question to the devs is now: Is there a way to selectively remove messages from a given day (or maybe even from a contact) from the history? I don't want to lose any and all conversations I had with my other contacts. Removing the contact from the list of contacts doesn't do the trick, as the conversations are still in the Logs.db.
Thank you in advance!
