... of zip files. Sometimes they are classed as folders, sometimes (e.g. Expand All Folders) not , and sometimes they are classed as files, sometimes (e.g. status bar Files count) not.

Chris,

Thanks for the suggestion.

You can determine how Zip files are being treated based on their icon and color.

If the zip file has a folder icon, it is being treated as an archive that can be expanded. If the folder icon is yellow, it means BC hasn't expanded the archive to look inside the contents. If the folder icon is colored, it means the contents of the archive have been compared.

If the zip file just has a square next to it, it means the zip is being treated as a file and BC will not expand it.
