Hello Roger and Kristina, Safari has this functionality of automatically extracting downloaded archives. This is in much the same way as it automatically mounts a disc image (dmg) file. So in actual fact, a zip file is being created and downloaded, but it is then immediately extracted, which is not helpful in this case.
For this reason and more I choose to use another browser entirely on Mac. I find Chrome/Chromium is a good choice, as it uses the same rendering engine (with some differences, naturally). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Committers, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745628 Title: Export does not zip on Mac Safari 5.0.x Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Confirmed Bug description: The Export View, Export Collection and Export LEAP2A functions do not produce a zip file when used on Safari 5 on a Mac. Instead it exports a directory with content and sub-directories. Mahara 1.3.3 Tested on OSX 10.6.6 (iMac) with Safari 5.0.3 Also tested on Safari 5.0.1 (as reported by student) The same computers export zip fine using Firefox (Have advised student to use Firefox for now). _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-core Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
