Hey Brad, I was working on this a year or two ago and stopped working on the multi-file zip support. I forget all of the details, but I think the hangup had to do with creating associations when the tool runs, as you've found. This should most properly be done in the UploadToolAction, but then all of the dataset ids/filenames/etc need to be passed to the upload tool, and then have these datasets map to the right files when tools/data_source/upload.py expands the archive. It may be possible to use the method at the bottom of this page instead: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Multiple%20Output%20Files > I thought about a composite dataset, but that seems like overloading that > concept.

Composite would not be the right concept, since these should be considered unrelated files.
