------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 1 11:22:12 -0800 2006 ------- Currently, OOo files are created with directories as specific entries in the ZIP archive and with extra file attributes stored. Neither of these is necessary (empty directories should not be stored, extra file attributes are not needed as the file is primarily for use in it's archived form) so the options can be disabled. Using zip under Linux the arguments needed are: "-D": Do not add directory entries. Note that this is NOT the same as not including hierarchical structure. Files in directories will have their path stored and the structure is maintained, but empty directories will not be created. This reduces the size of the resultant archive (*.od* or *.sx* file) and reduces clutter inside of the files, making them easier to work with manually and closer to the ODF specification which does not for instance require the Configurations2/ directory. "-X": eXclude eXtra file attributes. Don't store user specific file attributes which are not required by ODF and are pointless when the file is intended for use as an archive, not for extraction and then access across multiple users. Disabling this reduces the size of a ZIP archive and hence an ODF/*.sx* file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
