You think???? Log seems pretty clear.
Might be a good idea to look at the logs *before* bothering us with
likely phantom bugs.
Can you define how this situation is a "phantom bug". I pretty
clearly explained the lack of feedback from the UI when this condition
occurs and you get sent a zero byte zip file with no explanation.
Again... unneeded hostility. Check your attitude at home. Everyone
else has been really nice here. Why are you doing your best to push new
people away?

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.
Again, not spurious and definitely is a bug. I'll post to the
appropriate channels about this to see about a nice fix for this.
