add an option to set the attributes (RHSA) of files within a zip-archive?

Your application is brillant and I don't know any other possibility to set the file attributes of zip-archives, beside doing it manually!

Best regards,

On my to do list is a flags-check, so the correct flags have to be specified in the datfile (like date/time or romnames) but last time I looked at it, it caused some issues since some fileaccess/dirtree walk operations got problems when you try to access hidden/system files....so I didn't look at it again.


I'm currently not interested in adding a "just set some attributes in zipfiles" feature which simply runs through the zips...and I bet such tools already exist.

well...you could run a batch file which unzips and uses attrib and rezips 8)
Theoretically it shouldn't be a big task to load a file, jump from localfileheader to localfileheader and from centralfileheader to centralfileheader to overwrite the archive bytes....but as I said, it's got a rather low priority here.
