Thanks for that Enrico. I used the "built-in" capability of Windows 10 so it seems to be specific to that implementation. Of course putting a "info" file in each directory would have been another solution.

    Now to the specific items in the order you listed them. The
    issue with the "missing folders" is one I ran into as well. It
    comes from the fact that I was not able to include empty folders
    in the zip file and so had to create them the first time they
    were needed. I chose to do that in the docprep step when all the
    other "housekeeping" is done. Since you (and I) had already run
    docprep with the previous version, the "housekeeping section"
    had already run so the folders were not created. This should
    only be a problem for you, P.O. and I (or anyone else with v1)
    that had run version 1 of the package.??


Hi all

For what is worth :-)

I just  run a quick and dirty experiment

Created a directory hierarchy


Cd somewhere …


[enrico@enrico-imac ~]$mkdir z
[enrico@enrico-imac ~]$cd z
[enrico@enrico-imac z]$mkdir -p a/{b1,b2}
[enrico@enrico-imac z]$cd a
[enrico@enrico-imac a]$ll
total 0
drwxrwxr-x  2 enrico  staff    64B Feb 29 17:30 b1
drwxrwxr-x  2 enrico  staff    64B Feb 29 17:30 b2
[enrico@enrico-imac a]$cd ..
[enrico@enrico-imac z]$zip -r z.zip .
  adding: a/ (stored 0%)
  adding: a/b2/ (stored 0%)
  adding: a/b1/ (stored 0%)
[enrico@enrico-imac z]$unzip -v z
Archive:  z.zip
 Length   Method    Size  Cmpr    Date Time   CRC-32   Name
--------  ------  ------- ---- ---------- ----- --------  ----
       0  Stored        0   0% 02-29-2020 17:30 00000000  a/
       0  Stored        0   0% 02-29-2020 17:30 00000000  a/b2/
       0  Stored        0   0% 02-29-2020 17:30 00000000  a/b1/
--------          -------  ---             -------
       0                0   0%             3 files

And …
When unzipping the empty directories are there


Guess it depends on the zip program being used


Cheers

Enrico

The behaviour is the same on Fedora and FreeBSD
