Hi, good people.
I have to work a lot with huge zip archives that are created without any compression enabled. These archives are input for an application, later on.
When I merge or copy files of these in BC3, the files are stored with the "deflate" method.
Unfortunately, the application processing those archives isn't able to handle these changed Zip entries. So after using BC3, I have to re-pack Zip files all the time, to retain the original store mode. It's driving me mad, and it's error-prone.
Changing the application dealing with these uncompressed archives is not an option, sorry.
So I would be glad if BC3 would be able to retain the storage mode of merged or copied files. Or to offer a default compression method choice, including "store only".
Thanks for listening.
