Empty zip files when downloading on Mac OS

CodingWithDavidZ opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

Using Mac OS Ventura, files download as zip but the zip files are empty. Double-checked that the files were truly empty by sending the Mac downloaded files to pc and they are indeed empty.

Are you using Safari?

No, using firefox. I also noticed that the top download icon works fine, just the bottom one where you name the file does not.

I will try in Safari, Chrome, and Brave for you in a second.

I'm getting a populated ZIP file in FF Dev Edition on Monterrey. Are there icons visible in your collection before you start the ZIP download?

Safari:

will not show the bottom save icon, or the credits on MBP screen but will on external display
MBP screen 13"
27" external monitor
Still empty zip files when downloading from bottom download link.
Chrome
Same issue with not displaying all content on 13" MBP Screen
And same issues with downloading (i.e. Top download icon works fine, bottom does not.
Brave (Chromium)
As expected, same issues

Bingo, user error.
Can you add a counter to the collections icon? and tool-tips? If you are too busy, I will try to learn how to do that in PHP and issue a pull request when I get time.

If you'd like to take a crack at it, please feel free to do so! This weekend, I'm going to add the "advanced" colour picker that others have requested, so I should have a chance to get in and get to things then.

You're spot-on on the vertical spacing. My resolution is set to "More Space" on a 5K monitor, so I sometimes forget to account for more practical display sizes.
