Taifuns Zip gives wrong directory when unzipping

[Horst Schulze]

Hi,

I do this: Zipping to a file cassa/cassa_a.zip   and then unzip it. that should restore the directory when deleted.

but I get onother structure

What is going wrong?

thank you for using the zip extension https://puravidaapps.com/zip.php

how does the filelist look like after unzipping but before using your for each loop?

did you try the example project? did it work for you?

I see the problem.

your zip is stored in /  My zip i stored in /cassa 

with your zip.aia i got a file cassa.zip containing the folder /cassa

So unzipping restores this folder cassa.

My cassa_a.zip containing the /cassa/a folder i stored as /cassa/cassa_a.zio

So it creates a folder /cassa/cassa_a/a/....

Now I copied the file to /tmp/cassa1.zip

doing your zip I got /tmp/cassa1/cassa/....

So your zip extension only gives the results when stored in /

in other directorys it makes absotule path to relative path. And normally one want to store zips in other folders.
