#1 Folder Structure

[Anonymous]

Hey, this is the previous anonymous submitter again. Thanks for clearing up the bzip2 issue and fixing the cosmetic issue!

I'd like to report another bug. It was present in beta 1 and is still present in beta 2. Let's say I drag and drop a folder onto keka. keka correctly creates an archive called "Folder_Name.7z" Now, if I trash the original folder and extract "Folder_Name.7z", keka creates a folder called Folder_Name. Inside that folder is another folder called Folder_Name. And inside this SECOND folder are the original contents. Sorry, if that was confusing.

Maybe this will help. After extracting a .7z archive:
RIGHT NOW: Folder_Name / Folder_Name / {Contents}
SHOULD BE: Folder_Name / {Contents}

This over-preservation of folder structure seems redundant since the original folder that keka archived did not have the contents doubly nested.

You're right. A've noticed that before. If you can try to do the same with 7zip, or any other compressor in windows, you will see that the same occurs. The only difference is that in windows you can choose with context menu to extract in / or in /folder. If you compress some folder with 7zip in windows, and the you extract that folder in /folder, you will see it's redundant too.

The thing is that by now, I cant implement a context menu in Leopard nor Snow Leopard (I do it with a Tiger bundle, but don't like to release it). keka now extract to /folder always. Then I thought I can make a test of the file before extract, and if only one file/folder is in there, extract to / otherwise to /folder.

Will implement it, I do some tests before, and found that if I test a 5 megas file or a 1 giga file takes the same time to tell me the content, so maybe it's the good way to do that.

I've made some more tests, and the way I was trying to do that doesn't work. So I can't implement a "solution" to this trouble. The right click in finder option will be the best, with "extract to..." and "extract here" options, but by now I can't do a decent bundle to finder in 10.5 nor 10.6 Mac OS X-

I dream with a form to do a correct folder structure... And I've done. Now works for all less applications and other folder with extension (application.app, interfacebuilderfile.xib)... But matter of time.

Take a look at it:

Status changed to Closed so it works for me. Test it if you can and tell me. Comments still allowed.
