Zip Object problem

[Flo]

Hi, I am new here and I have got a question about one of your extensions. I used the zip object to make my own zip object, but after I zipped a few important files, I found out that they get password saved, even if I did not make one. So could someone please help me and tell me what the default password is?

The default password is "No error." WITHOUT the quotes, and WITH the period.

The Zip Object has a few bugs, so I would recommend using the Directory Packer and the Binary Array for compressing your files.

Thanks, worked fine. So I will try the other extensions now

Directory Packer uses its own format, and Binary Array is not optimized to store multiple files, so if you need to create ZIPs that everybody can open, you can't use these.

I was under the impression that he was zipping his own files, so he could unzip them in the same manner. But you are right. If he wants the ability to have the files opened by another zip program, he can't use my method.

Sorry about the confusion, Flo.
