The problem is that this kind of thing was (likely) designed around gzipping a file, which contains no structure. Adding ZIP support added a dimension that didn't previously exist: file structure within the archive. Re-naming a filename within a ZIP file isn't as straightforward as you might expect[1]. How important is this as a feature/fix? Could you use gzip instead? -chris [1] http://stackoverflow.com/a/848053/276232 > On 8 December 2016 at 23:52, Remko Popma <remko.po...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Greg, >> >> So, to clarify, the file contained in the rolled over zip files (like >> "my.20.log.zip") is called "my.1.log", not "my.1.log.zip", correct? >> (Your original email said the rolled over zip files contain zip files, >> which sounds like a bug...) >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >>> On 9 Dec 2016, at 2:35, Greg Thomas <greg.d.tho...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> On 8 December 2016 at 15:58, Apache <ralph.go...@dslextreme.com> wrote: >>>> >>>> That indeed does seem strange.
