Feature Request: Output screen to a local text file. Please upvote if you like.

[ShannonVanWagner]

Thanks for this great beagle-term app, and also for making it open source!

I would like to make a feature request to have the application output to a local plain-text file on the chromebook.

This would help because then I could go back and search through parts of the terminal output for troubleshooting.

For those others who use this great application, please indicate in the comments if you'd like to have the aforementioned feature as well.

Again, Thank You very much for your efforts! It's much appreciated!

Yes this feature is essential. actullay I was thinking that BeagleTerm saves log file and shares it thru goole drive..
The lack of spare time is the problem :(

[sunglim]

FileSync could be difficult.
workaround : save to local PC storage. (See Spark https://github.com/dart-lang/spark, how to save git data to local)

Would love the ability to dump to a text file. I am a network engineer and am constantly needing to save configs.

[sunglim]

Recently I was thinking this feature.

two options.

1. save current buffer(which you can see from screen)
2. save from curent. (all text from now will be saved)

[Frazior]

I can see benefits and uses for both options but if I had to pick one the
save from current would be preferable to me.

Thanks for your response

the drawback to "save-from-current" is that some programs mess with the tty to clobber the buffer.
but that's not a beagleterm problem imho.

[ahluntang]

If you are referring to programs trying to clear the buffer prematurely, then I think it is a beagleterm problem, I rather have beagleterm react to such signals like GNU screen does and ignore clear commands as I'm missing important information just because of that.

My design goal is "Putty" from Windows. and I'm working on implementing menu, saving buffers to file.

Thanks much for the feedback. I really appreciate it! @ahluntang @jumanjiman @Frazior

I've never considered Putty to be a design goal. I was thinking something more like TeraTerm. I always thought it was simpler for newcomers than Putty.

I'll take a look at BeagleTermDart when I get a chance to see how your UI's looked.
