Output not generated if contents of output folder are deleted

[tech4GT]

Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new, and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!😁

The problem

If the output folder is an empty directory (if you delete the contents of the ouput folder) the sequencer output will not get exported since callback is not called in that case
This line should be fixed

image-sequencer/src/ExportBin.js

Line 5 in 32c5a29

if(typeof(files)=="undefined") {

Solution
Add a check which enables the callback being called in the case the length of the files array is 0

This does look like a good first-timers issue! Before we label it as such, would you mind reformatting it following some of these suggestions?

[tech4GT]

Sure mayank go ahead😁

[danielleshwed]

i am interested in working on this if it is available

[jywarren]

@danielleshwed we'd love to have your help, @tech4GT maybe we could make another first timers issue since @mayank1010 is already working on this one?

Thanks!

[tech4GT]

@jywarren sure I'll do that right away
@danielleshwed welcome to the community 😁

[tech4GT]

@danielleshwed Jeff is busy right now, start with #177, just go through the contributing.md file to make a basic module and add the line referenced in the issue for the blur module, don't worry about the labels it's a relatively simple issue😁

[tech4GT]

@jywarren closing this issue now, thanks
