1: File-Storage Inconsistency
Posted by Nima Mazloumi on 01/29/09 12:49 PM
Hey all,

one question: why does file-storage provide a link to download a folder as archive.tar.gz but requires the upload to be zip?

Is there a way to make that more consistent? Either change the one to tar.gz or the other to zip?

Greetings,
Nima

Hi Nima,

This is set by parameters. I guess we should change the default to zip as follow:

- ArchiveCommand: /usr/bin/zip -r {out_file} {in_file}
- ArchiveExtension: zip

I think most people want ZIP. I thought we changed the default parameters a while ago, it's probably just you install that had the old parameters when it was originally installed.

Hi,

Yes, it has been changed a while ago. I just checked and it now defaults to zip.
