Since the primary purpose of this report is to comment on the 0 bytes,
I'm calling this invalid because I think it's somewhat of an
unreasonable expectation.

What is in menu://applications is everything all the contents of
application folders specified by $XDG_DATA_DIRS and $XDG_DATA_HOME.
These are files confirming to the Freedesktop Desktop Entry
Specification. As such, they are no more than metadata. They are not
applications themselves. They are tiny little text files. Each file can
specify Categories, which is the "folders" you see in pcmanfm-qt.

You could have pcmanfm-qt specify the size of the application itself,
but that seems a little misleading, just as it would be misleading to
specify the size of the .desktop file.

Regarding the other comment (p.s. don't conflate two issues in one bug report),
