Subjectnon-zipped drag&drop new Reply to this message

I tend to keep my cpanel/flyers/etc folders unzipped as I find it takes an age for them to rezip when images are added.

However, when I use the drag and drop facility, cmp creates a new zipped folder (say 'flyers', for example) containing only the image I dropped into the window.

Should cmp be able to detect that these images are in an unzipped directory, and so bipass creating a zipped directory?

I know it's not a big deal but it took me a while to figure out what was going on, and I thought it might help others.

I thought I'd throw this one in the mixer!

Many thanks

Not true. Use the rebuilder, rebuild the full set with "recompress" disabled. Fast as hell ;)

Drag&drop means it uses the rebuilder, no matter if you drag&drop in the rebuilder directly or in the scanresults window. Look at the rebuilder settings, if the rebuilder option "zip files" is enabled, it zips the files. It will add all valid files. If only one of the dropped files is valid, only one will be created.

On a sidenote, the rebuilder had (and has) some issues. Drag&drop of unzipped files had a problem before CMPro 3.61a, so be sure you use at least this version. 3.61a's rebuilder got a little issue with the rebuilder, too (see wip page) and I will release a fixed version someday next week.
