I don't really care if the DS_Store files are in there or not ( I care not about Windoze ) - that was just an issue that stopped the shell call. But that does that mean there are several versions of Zip on the machine?

1. zip for rev
2. zip for the shell
3. whatever Automator uses (perhaps shell, above)
4. The finder "Compress" menu item... (which results is what I want) -- It has no problems....

Is there a 'domenu' applescript ?


so near so far...



Excited by the prospect of being able to create Zip archives without the dot files, I just tested it. No go: with the action's "Ignore unreadable files"option on or off (what exactly is an "unreadable files?"; the notes for that action do not explain) it still copies the .DS_Store files. :(

Apple employs smart people. I'm sure one of them was smart enough to recognize that if they're somehow stuck with a file system requiring such kludges for simple metadata then surely there's a preference to govern it for copying and archiving. Now if only we could find it....
