Hi,

When I (accedently) delete one File inside a to be compared zip-file, the zip will be corrupted.

Note: The zip, I used was a huge one with thousands of files. Its reproduceble

Hi Alex,

I haven't been able to repeat this here. Is there any chance you could email a copy of the zip to support so we can try repeating it with that?

Can BC still read the zip after it's corrupt? Are there any errors while it's trying to save the zip, or does it just show up next time it tries loading it? Specifically, how many files are there, and how large is the zip (compressed and uncompressed)?

wether BC nor my Zip Tool (powerarchiver) can handle the zip any longer.

it's a zip ~17,6 MB zipped (33,3 MB unzipped) with around 17.600 Files in it (and many folders).

In BC it shows up after deleting and confing the finish dialog - i think BC tries to reread the zip for a kind if "fast refresh").

one more (sorry): Perhaps it may be a timeout thing, because file manipulating in such a complex zip file needs its time.
