ZIPping empty directories

K

Ks68 last edited by

While evaluating the PACL 4.01 tools, I tried to zip a directory tree that contained numerous empty subdirectories. With two exceptions (test\test8\test6 and test\test9\test6), PACOMP did not place any empty directories into the ZIP file.

I created the attached file testpa.zip with the following command:
pacomp.exe -a -r -P testpa.zip test*

For comparison, I created the attached file testwz.zip with WinZip using the command:
wzzip -aPr testwz.zip test*
attachment_t_1052_0_testpa.zip
attachment_t_1052_1_testwz.zip

Is there a command to add a comment to a zip from PACL? I have looked and cannot seem to find one. If not I guess I can just continue to use the CL of the <other>zip util I have for now. :(</other>

I’m interested to know if Power Archiver is capable of creating a tape archives (.tar files) on a Windows XP system, so they can be written to tape and later viewed on a Sun Solaris system. I have heard of other applications that can create .tar archives and write directly to tape (WinTAR-SCSI), but users have had problems reading the contents of the archives on Solaris systems.

@Eggerd: Apologies the bad English!!! That’s OK. I have the same problem in German Check the size of the damaged Zip file. If it is only 1KB as you originally reported (when trying to change the name) then the archive cannot be fixed - I’m sorry but you have lost the data. If it is large enough to contain the data then you could try different repair utilities - e.g. 7-zip, WinZip etc. but I doubt they will work either. This is one reason it is recommended to have more than one backup - and to test them after creating.

I can’t check at the moment but the $ is a command. Therefore I would expect to use the switch: c:\temp\pacomp.exe -a -P -t -$“z:\backup” “z:\backup\backupfile.zip” @“c:\temp\fileliste.txt”

I have to check it, but writing to floppy is supported for automatic spans, while specifying size will make it act in “local drive” mode when it expects to have all the space it needs. Originally, zip specification only included automatic spanning to floppy and custom spanning was introduced as extension for creation of volumes on hard disk. i have to double check on that tomorrow as i didnt visit this issue in a while now… thanks,

Using the following with WinZip commandline interface works: call wzzip.exe -mu -ex -r -P %KATALOG%%year%%month%-%server%.zip E:\Logfiles\Http%server%\ex%year%%month%*.log Using this command with PACL 4.0 does not work: call pacomp.exe" -u -m -c2 -r -P -v1024M %KATALOG%\SP%year%%month%-%server%.zip E:\Logfiles\Http%server%\ex%year%%month%*.log Using PACL i wanted the ZIP created to span in 1 GB chunks. The result is that when using PACL it looks fine but no ZIP is created and the source files is deleted. /URban
