Hi all,
I've been trying to get something which I thought fairly straight-forward (chuckle) to work but don't find a was to.
Let's simply say I'm trying to zip a folder in the same way the Finder's contextual menu item "Create archive" does.
I use the shell's zip command, with –r for recursiveness and –j to trash the path to the folder. Unfortunately, the –j option also scraps the subfolder hierarchy in the folder I am zipping, creating a zip archive containing all the files on the first level and making all the subfolders disappear. Drat.
I previously painstakingly had to copy the folder to the startup disk, zip it there, then trash the copy of the folder, move the zip file back up to whichever of my user folders it should be situated in. Snow Leopard's security freak-out has put an end to that.
So please help me to do what's right (in Snow Leo's terms) and correct (in the sense that I want to keep my subfolders, thanks a lot).
j.
