Hey guys,

i need your quick help. I need to zip multiple files, so that if you open the .zip you see directly the files (pdf´s) and not a folder first.

Used tec: Servoy 2020.03 - SmartClient.

I already tried it2be.zip() and svyUtils.zip(). With one file its not a problem aswell as a folder but then the zip got the wrong structure.

Zip a folder:  
test.zip \> testfolder \> testfile.pdf

Zip one file:  
test.zip \> testfile.pdf

But i need.  
test.zip \> testfile1.pdf, testfile2.pdf, …

it2be.zip() and svyUtils.zip() are not taking a array of filenames. I always get a “cant find file” error.  
Maybe im doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,  
Vik

Hi Vik,

Can you please post your code sample for the svyUtils approach?
