Problems with sharing large terminal transcript #1166
Description
Problem description
When trying to share a large terminal transcript, application may do nothing or even crash.
It seems like Android puts some limits on data sent with intent. From experiments, it seems that max possible transcript size is around 128 KB.
Steps to reproduce
-
Open new session.
-
Fill console with some data. For example:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1 | tr '\0' 'A' -
From context menu click on button "Share transcript".
Expected behavior
Application should be able to share the transcript regardless of content size.
If it is not possible to send whole transcript, it can be truncated to the reasonable size.
