Chat Export of large room hangs on "Generating a Zip" indefinitely

[CicadaCinema]

The same issue can be seen in Element Desktop, but I couldn't find a way to see the console to check for errors. I left Element Desktop for a few days to export this room and it was still stuck on "Generating a Zip".

On the other hand, unchecking the option to download attachments allowed Element Desktop to export the room pretty quickly (less than half an hour).

I snipped/removed some http 500 errors in the browser console that Element Web got while retrieving a handful of media files.

Ungoogled Chromium is not a supported environment as per https://github.com/element-hq/element-web#supported-environments

can you retry in a supported browser

My bug report also applies to Element Desktop, where the symptom is the same (see the message above yours), does that count?

Depends if you're using a package maintained by us or not. We only ship debs and tarballs, no fedora package.

For the record, I am using the flatpak package, so that would be unofficial I suppose.

I tried again in Firefox and got the same symptoms.

Element version

Element version: 1.11.69
Crypto version: Rust SDK 0.7.0 (068a0af), Vodozemac 0.6.0

Browser version

Operating system

What I suspect to be the only revelant error from browser console
