Dear kosowsky,

Did you not see my note on unnecessary hostility?

You provided some good detail in your last message, but I could deal without the attitude.  I might just have to block you if this keeps up.

And this does seem like a bug.  Why would you present an empty zip file to the user without any associated information as to why this is the case?  This is a glaring indication of some error handling issues, not PEBCAK.

You think???? Log seems pretty clear.
Might be a good idea to look at the logs *before* bothering us with
likely phantom bugs.

Or more likely it could be an "artifact" of you not taking the minimum
effort of reading the documentation and looking at the log file.
This seems much more likely than there being a "bug" in the program.

Wise words to collect some more details before claiming likely
spurious bugs.
