- Deleted messages within the loaded part of a long chat are placed by the app among the others (not only at the chat's end), without counting as unread; restores no longer repeat every second. - Logger copies and their media are read through a member of the log group signed in here (this account, else the master); the shared file cache lets the current account show them. - Logged chat photos: asked for once per 10 minutes, all sizes downloaded (no waits on inline thumbnails), added once the photo viewer closed.

Message Logger
TL;DR: an exteraGram plugin that keeps deleted messages in your chats and shows the edit history of edited ones, using what your telegram-panel message logger saved.
Description
Message Logger connects exteraGram to a telegram-panel message logger and shows its data natively in chats. Messages other people delete stay visible, edited messages get a full edit history, and comments of deleted channel posts can still be opened. Marks are cached on the device, so a chat opened again, even offline, shows them at once.
Features
- Deleted messages stay. Messages others delete remain in the chat at 75% opacity with a red trash icon (from the active icon pack) in the time row. Messages deleted while the app was closed are confirmed with Telegram and restored from the logger copy.
- Keep your own deletions. The delete dialog gets a Keep message for myself checkbox: ticked, the deletion goes to Telegram but the message stays on this device, marked deleted. Unticked (the default), it is deleted as usual and hidden, so it isn't restored from the logger. Deleting a message that is already deleted shows a plain dialog that hides it.
- Hidden messages. Hidden deleted messages are marked on the server, so every client skips them. Reveal hidden messages in the chat's menu (Plugins) brings them back until tapped again; a revealed one has Unhide in its menu, and selecting several shows an Unhide button in the selection bar.
- Removed chats. Chats an account lost (left, kicked, deleted by you or the other side) stay in the chat list with their logged messages, read-only and all marked deleted, until the chat is back. Chats you delete yourself aren't listed; deleting a listed one hides it. Show removed chats in the settings turns this off.
- Old chat photos. Chat photo changes are posted into the chat's log topic. A removed chat shows its latest logged photo, and a chat's photos also list the logged ones it no longer has: translucent, with a trash icon, in the photo viewer's previews.
- Edit history. Edit history in the message menu (right above Forward, for edited messages) opens every version as a mock chat, also for the logger groups' own posts, with an Open topic button for the history topic in the activity group.
- Comments of deleted channel posts. The comments button of a deleted post opens the app's own comments section for it (avatars, names, replies, media), filled from the logged comments.
- Links into chats you're not in. Message links into a chat the current account isn't in (e.g. a log post's "Message" link) open that chat as a signed-in account that is in it; going back returns to your account.
- Reset marks. Reset deleted/edited marks in the chat's menu (Plugins) forgets that chat's cached marks and checks it with the server again; the same row in the plugin settings does it for every chat. Hidden messages stay hidden.
- Cache lifetime. Cached answers are kept for 1, 7, 30, 90 or 365 days, or forever (30 by default).
The account reading the logged copies must be a member of the logger and activity groups.
Setup
- In the panel, create a token per master, the account owning the logger groups (Settings → API Tokens). Any Telegram account can use a token.
- In the plugin settings, enter the panel URL and the tokens (separated by spaces).
- Tap Test connection.
