Hello, 

Since the most recent camtrapR update I have been unable to generate the zip folder from the survey report. Everything else works fine and the txt file it generates is complete without issue, just no zip file. 

Below is my script and the error message i receive which appears to be unrelated to the problem. Also attaching the txt file which is correctly put into the sinkpath folder.

Report <- surveyReport (recordTable = recordtable,
CTtable = camtraps,
camOp = camOP,
speciesCol = "Species",
stationCol = "Station",
cameraCol = "Camera",
setupCol = "First.taken.date",
retrievalCol = "Last.taken.date",
CTDateFormat = "%Y-%m-%d",
recordDateTimeCol = "DateTimeOriginal",
recordDateTimeFormat = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
Xcol = "X",
Ycol = "Y",
sinkpath = getwd(),
makezip = TRUE
)

saved output to file G:/Bolikhamxay/NCNP/CT/survey_report_2025-08-22.txt Error in (function (output, recordTable, CTtable, speciesCol, stationCol, : unused argument (cameraCol = "Camera")

So grateful if you can help me resolve this problem.

Hello, 
can you confirm this happens with the latest dev version from Github? Please install via
# install.packages("remotes")   # run if not installed
# install.packages("R.rsp")     # run if not installed

remotes::install_github("jniedballa/camtrapR", ref = "dev", build_vignettes = TRUE)
If the problem persists please share the output of 
sessionInfo()

Thank you,
