Thanks! Just read through it, maybe I do not understand it completely, but it seems to be completed resp. already merged. I seem to remember the issue back then, I also had a slack-import that didn’t work at all until this fix came along.  
Also, in my case the direct import of the advanced-slack-exporter result into mattermost using `mattermost import slack teamname /locationOfExportfile` fails to import a lot of the attachments, only if I convert the export first using mmetl continued by Bulk-import into Mattermost I get most of them - but not all. The get lost during the mmetl conversion, as they are no longer present in the resulting bulk-export-attachments folder. I simply have no idea at all why. The missing attachments are from different users, have different sizes and file types. I cannot recognize any pattern. No error messages in the conversion log.
