[Bug]: termux-file-editor now empty

[Eli-the-Bearded]

Problem description

Android 11, $TERMUX_VERSION shows 0.117.

Until recently I could < share photos from F-Stop Gallery with Termux and run my ~/bin/termux-file-editor to process the images. Something has changed, and I'm not sure if it is F-Stop doing things wrong, or Termux not handling F-Stop's new way of doing things.

According to the (shown in-app and impossible to link to) changelog for F-Stop 5.3.27:

• When sharing file, F-Stop will also send Title. Useful for sharing to Whatsapp, for example

I see no other sharing changes in any 5.x version.

What happens now with Termux is the save file toast no longer shows a default filename and if I provide one manually, I get a zero length file. I have verified with another program that the old behavior, get a default filename and get a file saved in $HOME/downloads still works, so it is not 100% broken.

I've contacted F-Stop support, too, but I have not heard a response from them.

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

Use F-Stop 5.3.27 (or probably newer) to share a file with Termux.

The changelog explicitly says 5.3.27 introduced new changes to F-Stop sharing.

What is the expected behavior?

Shared files are received in Termux.

System information

Thanks for the report. Should be fixed in next release.

The intent being passed was following. Filename is working too, but is being found through ContentResolver DISPLAY_NAME and android.intent.extra.TITLE extra is not being passed.

Intent { act=android.intent.action.SEND typ=image/jpeg flg=0x800003 cmp=com.termux/.filepicker.TermuxFileReceiverActivity clip={image/jpeg T:} (has extras) }
    Bundle[
    android.intent.extra.TEXT: ``
    android.intent.extra.STREAM: `content://media/external/images/media/xxxxxxx`
    ]

Very fast! Any idea when a 0.118 release will happen? Or should I bite the bullet and switch to the Github builds?

[agnostic-apollo]

Some work is currently on going, so release will take a few days at least. Then roughly ~5-7 days will be taken by F-Droid itself for publishing. If you want faster updates, then Github builds would be ideal.

For the record, seeing this fixed in the F-droid version as of this week.
