[1.5.0.7] Handly empty 0 byte files / broken downloads

[af-user]

I had a network disconnection right after clicking on one of the sample pictures.

That caused the initiated download to be corrupt/empty. AD created an empty file with 0 byte and tried to open it.

 

This causes an error: "The file type is not supported."

 

Of course you can reproduce it: right click on in an Explorer-Window --> new --> Text file --> name the file "emptyfile.afdesign".

Then try to open it.

 

 

So I see 2 cases to handle:

• Check downloads were completed
• handle empty files with extension .afdesign

Thanks af-user, I spotted this the other day, and also noticed that you can no longer re-download the sample, which is quite annoying. I'll get this logged. In the mean time, you can delete the broken file from:
