For Linux experts

I have posted on 3 forums, but they are stumped.

I think Linux can do this, but maybe I am mistaken.

I don't think that it is rocket science.

I simply want to select a .html file and it's associated directory (with all it's files) and compress it.

I use Thunar File Manager.

Using Thunar under configure custom actions.

I tried these 2, but they do not work.

zip test.zip %N

zip test.zip %F %D

Andy,

why not forming a tar ball and using gzip?

Thanks.

I found Packit that fits the bill.

Am now looking for a TSR substitute for Linux.

I would like any newly created zips to be copied to an external drive at the time they are created without my intervention.

Does not look like they have an equivalent.

:-(

What is your Linux distribution ?
Ubuntu had p7zip who surely do that.

Hi Magnum,

This should work on your system :

Code Select Expand

zip test.zip file.htm
zip test.zip -r foldername

The second line adds recursively the files in the folder.

Thanks Vortex.
