[Bug 505012] [NEW] Fails to report empty file

[tsingi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gpar2

Issue: Poor user feedback reporting empty rar files.

I downloaded a large rar set (49 parts) and files 2 through 9 came in
empty for some reason.  The app did not report this very well.  It
showed all the complete sets but failed to show the empty files.  (i.e.
0 of 4 chunks, or "empty par file" on a red line)

Had I been on the command line I would have caught it quickly, from
nautilus, not showing file sizes, I was puzzled for a while.

I located and fixed the problem after about 5 minutes of dicking around
and checking my source.  I'm a Linux developer, an uninformed user might
very well have given up.

Error feedback on empty par files would make gpar2 more user friendly.

Using Ubuntu 9.10, gpar2 v0.3

Cheers!
