Zero length file does not show weight

[MarcelInTO]

• OS: Windows
• Version of IPFS Desktop: 2.15.1

When browsing a folder of files (in the file section) where some files have been pinned and others have not, the pinned files do not show a size. The just show a "-".

Expected behavior
All files should show their size regardless of pin status.

@MarcelInTO is that something that you can always reproduce? I cannot reproduce that issue. Maybe it's a temporary error fetching the details from a file? Can you check the Developer Tools (Ctrl+Shift+I, or F12) and see if there is any error in the Console tab?

@hacdias Yes, it always happens. I have multiple machines on different networks with the same dataset pinned.

However, your comment about error fetching the details was on the right track and I had leapt to a conclusion before I submitted the issue

The dataset is about 200000' files that had been pinned recursively. I just scanned through it and it appears that the files that show this issue are actually all zero length.

So I would rewrite the issue report and repro steps this way:

• Create a folder of files where some files are zero length
• Recursively lock the folder
• Explore the contents of the folder on the Files page.
• Note that the files that were zero length show a pin symbol but no size
• Note that the files that were not zero length do not show a pin symbol and show a size

Expected behavior;

• Zero length files should show a length just like other files (zero is a valid file size)
• The display of the pin symbol for recursively pinned content should be consisten and not depend on whether the file is zero length or not

After taking a look, this issue is not related to pinned files. The issue here is that a zero length file shows - instead of 0 B on the size column.

To reproduce:

1. touch blank_file
2. ipfs add blank_file -> CID will be QmbFMke1KXqnYyBBWxB74N4c5SBnJMVAiMNRcGu6x1AwQH
3. ipfs cp /ipfs/QmbFMke1KXqnYyBBWxB74N4c5SBnJMVAiMNRcGu6x1AwQH /blank_file
4. See on IPFS Web UI
