Small but annoying bug when zipping multiple files...

[wanderer]

Select some files and pack them with the following option ON: "create separate archives, one per selected file/dir"

TC, instead of creating "fileXXX.zip" zips, it creates "fileXXX.FileExtension.zip" zips. If you zip them one by one, it does not add the file extension in the name of the destination zip file...

This behaviour is by design because there could be exist 2 files e.g. fileXXX.xls and fileXXX.doc.
You can change this behaviour editing (everytime) the "commandline":
from (double asterisks)

Code: Select all

zip:c:\*.*.ZIP

to (single asterisk)

Code: Select all

zip:c:\*.ZIP

I would consider this as a bug but as a feature!

Because if you have the files (just a stupid example)
test.abc, test.def and test.ghi and pack them instead of
fileXXX.FileExtension.zip just fileXXX.zip
all files would be packed just into one zip

Edit: What nevidimka wrote is wrong - if you do like he tells you all files are packed into fileXXX.zip (one single file)

Edit2: If all files have the same name - otherwise nevidimka is correct

Thank you both for your replies. This is indeed a feature but i wish it worked differently. Now i constantly create the zips and then mass-rename them. I wish TC didn't add the extension but if it found 2 files with the same name, it poped up a warning and gave you some options (rename, put all files in the same zip file, add file extensions to zip, cancel the whole process)... Anyway, i guess i'll just have to live with it. We can't have everything in life...

Edit: or perhaps an option in the INI file: AddFileExtensionToZipsWhenMultiZippingToSeparateZips=0 !
