Tar/gzip is messing up icons

  • Thread-topic: Tar/gzip is messing up icons

hi,

This is what I use to tar/compress files via a program made in applescript.

set stuffcom to "cd " & file_list_path & ";tar cvf " & stuff_name_tar & " " & stuff_name & "; gzip " & stuff_name_tar & "; mv *.gz " & movepath & ";rm -r " & stuff_name & ""

do shell script stuffcom

My problem is when I uncompress the files/directories..... illustrator/photoshop/quarkfiles
are being recognized as "unix executable files" or just document with a blanc icon....

Is there an option in the TAR/GZIP command to keep the icons/resources?
Or does anyone has a better option to compress files/directories via the terminal window in os X?

any ideas are much appreciated,
jan
