Zip failure

[Luxor]

Using PowerArchiver 9.60 beta2

Think I have found a bug in the latest beta.

For testing purposes I created 3 folders: testa,testb,testc. Each containing one text file.

I then tried to create a new archive with these folders.

Created a new Zip archive called test and added these 3 folders then clicked finish. Result no files in the archive and no Zip archive created either.

Used the same 3 folders and created all other archive formats with no problem. It is only a Zip that fails.

Interestingly enough if I create a Zip archive and click finish after adding one folder and then each subsequent folder the archive is fine.

Also if I highlight the folders in explorer and use the shell extension “Compress With Options” then the Zip archive is created as normal.

Hi,

please tell us how exactly did you create the zip file (options, was it advanced add window, was normal relative path enabled, etc)

I can not reproduce it on my test computer.

thanks,

Hi Spywolf.

Otions: Advanced Add Window enabled. Normal Reletive Path disabled. Anything else you need from options ?

When adding a folder to the archive I was using “Store relative paths”.

Did another test but this time using “Store full paths” and that one worked fine.
Tried again using “Do not store paths”, fine once again.
So it appears to be only when the “Store relative paths” option is used in the Add window.

Should have mentioned using XP Home SP2 all up to date.

Hope this helps

If I was I would be posting in the ultimatezip forum wouldn’t I. :rolleyes:

Seriously though, Powerarchiver is the only Archiver I use and the only one that has ever been on my computer. No need for anything else.

thanks for extra info, its probably something to do with Advanced Add window, since we improved it in Betas… I will check it out.

Fixed in PowerArchiver 2006 9.6 Beta 3
