IPFS desktop - Folders not uploading

[trojanMcAfee]

• OS: MacOS Ventura 13.0
• Version of IPFS Desktop: 0.24.1

Not possible to import large files. The download prompt hangs and then throws an error. Before that, a warning appears mentioning that the app is unresponsive (see screenshots). Currently trying with a 460 MB folder.

Thanks @cdgmachado0 the logs unfortunately does not contain enough info to repro this issue. It's also possible the update process that was running at the same time:

2022-12-11T22:16:50.616Z info: [updater] update to 0.25.0 available, download will start
2022-12-11T22:17:31.115Z info: [updater] update to 0.25.0 downloaded

I think this needs further analysis. @SgtPooki any ideas on this one?

@whizzzkid We need to try to reproduce this and track down the issue. We should try to repro in ipfs-desktop, and ipfs-webui.

@cdgmachado0 A few questions to help us be more productive when reproducing the issue:

1. can you confirm the steps you used to upload your folder?
   • I know we support drag & drop and others and it would be helpful to narrow down the choices when attempting to reproduce.
2. Also, are there any "odd" filetypes in that folder?
   • If you don't mind, could you let us know the types of files in that folder? ls -lhatr <foldername>. Feel free to XXXX out any sensitive filenames
   • Are there any symlinks or protected (non-readable files) files?
   • Any files or file-types that would hiccup when we attempt to read the bytes directly?
