Pin button not working reliably.

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug I am using IPFS Desktop which has v2.11.4 UI integrated. When I add files by IPFS hash, they show up in my files list. I then click the ... on the right and choose Pin. Sometimes the little pin icon shows up, sometimes it does not.

To Reproduce Unknown. I can follow the same steps multiple times and sometimes I’m able to pin, sometimes I’m not. I generally use CIDv1 hashes if that matters, though CIDv0 are also used on occasion. This doesn’t seem to be correlated though.

Expected behavior When I click “Pin” the little pin icon shows up.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 10
Browser: N/A
Version: v2.11.4

@MicahZoltu … and in the case of bafybeiet2646ne3zlmbnsg72wd23w7mqsyxkjadv4i75f3dqgjhku726jq, you just don’t have all the content. I wasn’t able to grab it either. That one’s an issue with the original provider not ensuring someone is hosting the full thing.

This should be fixed in webui v2.12.x, where Pin operation got replaced with Set pinning modal. Remaining work around tracking pin progress is tracked in https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-webui/issues/1752
