I'm getting all my zip archives with x-zip-compressed MIME type. Any way to convert it to application/zip or make it work with x-zip-compressed?

We just pushed some changes to fix this. If you want quick access, take a look at the code over at: https://github.com/textileio/textile-facebook. Those fixes will go 'live' later. To get it running on your own system right away, you download the zip (click clone or download) and run it locally.

Very odd. If you drag the zip onto your laptop and the drop event listener doesn't pick up on it, your browser would likely just "download" the zip you dropped. Which explains what you see I'm guessing. What I'm not sure about is why the JS doesn't pick up on the drop event and process the file. Do you have any settings that would block JS? What browser are you using?

I tried in latest versions of FF and CH and it does not work (on Windows10). When I drag the ZIP archive to the area it does not do anything. Do all people just try on MAC or why it does not work for me?

Should have a fix in the latest code on github, should be live soon(ish)

Hi forcer, when you drag it over the 'drop zone' does the little zip image/icon disappear?

Ok, this looks like this issue: https://github.com/textileio/textile-facebook/issues/4 We'll try to update this soon!

Fixed on github, should be live soon(ish)

I wondered about that. Facebook know what I visit a site with an embedded tracker. This isn't in my data dump, but things like "interest in X" are. Do they really use the tracking to influence those scores, then throw away the data?

I'd assume they keep every ping from the tracker but simply class it as "their" data instead of "your" data.

If that were the case, then they are not complying with the existing European rules giving "data subjects" (me) the right to see data about them.

They would be allowed to remove all identifying information from the ping, e.g. retain a date, approximate location and so on, but not an identifier than links to my account.

Please also check your waitlist signup form processing -- I've tried it multiple times, but haven't received an email yet. (Yes, I've checked I've typed it correctly, and it's not in my junk folder.)

Were you able to register timb07? If not, let me know and we'll tweak things on our end.

I just tried again, but still no email. Don't your metrics on sign-up rate show a problem? Or is it just isolated to me somehow?

Still not working for me. The drag+drop area shows a "Click to Download" button so it's registering the dropped folder, but when I download it there's nothing different about the folder.

Based on my archive and the fact that its the most strategic move, this seems to be the case.

Does anyone know other offline or online tools that allow you to visualise data better from the FB export?

I am currently doing a CS101 course and was thinking about building exactly that as my final exam. What type of visualization were you imagining to fit your needs? What feature would be the most important of your dream tool to achieve the purpose?
