Discord Photo Cache Archiver and Manager
Discord is an Electron app which means it caches your images in its local storage in order to incread load times in the future. This is also a security risk since even deleted photos you've seen get cached. Therefore any image that has been loaded into Discord is available on Windows at least in your AppData. This program allows you to archive those images and then delete if you'd like to. Windows and Linux only atm unless somebody can provide MacOS paths. Shoutout to ByteCommander in the PyDis for the Linux Locations.
On Windows:
pip install python-magic-win64
On Linux:
pip install python-magic
Photocord uses the libmagic library to read what type of file it is before conversion so you aren't just naming every file a png and having some be corrupted.
Make sure you have all instances of Discord closed in the background not just the window.
Run python3 photocord.py from the directory of photocord. It will create a directory in that one named "archives". In this folder will be up to 3 archives with all the cached images saved in the .tar.bz2 archive format.
0.tar.bz2 = Discord Normal
1.tar.bz2 = Discord Canary
2.tar.bz2 = Discord PTB
