@spwolf:

• CAB format does not support this at all.

As to the all or non - are you sure this is happening? This is probably just related how relative path is saved.

Yes, this IS happening, and it’s not related to the path, believe me.
And if you don’t, try yourself and you’ll see I’m right.

That behaviour is at least strange, isn’t it

I did try it and it works fine in my example. Please post more information on what exactly is happening.

thank you,

download this:
http://ftp.7host.com/mix/Temp.7z (save rightclicking)
uncompress it, there are 35 empty folders in it.

then compress those with all the archive types PA supports. you will see that with:

TAR, LHZ, BH -> the archive will contain just some of the folders (18 out of 35). if you doubleclick on it, PA window will not show the files on the right panel with explorer view, you’ll have to click on the “+” left to the archive name, in the left panel

ZIP -> the archive will contain just some of the folders (18 out of 35) . doubleclicking on it shows those on the right.

CAB -> if you doubleclick on the archive, PA will say it’s corrupted. If you extract to a path, an empty folder will be created. If you “extract here”, nothing will be created.and PA’s decompressing window has to be closed manually

7Z -> everything is ok

sorry - neither works for me :confused:
If spwolf has been able to access - we can leave it here.

Otherwise can you just confirm
@spwolf:

she is trying to compress only folders, with no files in them…

or is it something else?

Yes, this thread is about compressing EMPTY FOLDERS (no files in any of them)

@manuangi:

Yes, this thread is about compressing EMPTY FOLDERS (no files in any of them)

OK - my results:
Create Folder “Empty Folders”
Create subfolders as below-

Compress (right click) to “Empty Folders.xxx”

with 20 subfolders:
Zip, BH, LZH - all OK
TAR - only 19 subfolders (last folder, in name order, is not present) :(

with 30 subfolders:
Zip, BH, LZH, TAR - all OK

with 40 subfolders
Zip, BH, LZH - all OK
TAR - only 39 subfolders (last folder, in name order, is not present) :(

Same whether Use normal relative path - is checked or not except
when not checked, the “Empty Folder” itself is not stored,
when checked, the “Empty Folder” is also stored.

TAR - only 39 subfolders (last folder, in name order, is not present) :(

Note : All folders are empty (no files).
Checked compress via shell extension, for TAR I actually used TAR.GZ.
Problem (?) still in PA9.51.01 :(
