Compression is here. Just that we cannot use it.

[m.Th.]

Select some files. By tagging, by rating - do as you wish.

Now compress/zip them. You want to burn them on a CD, to put on an USB stick, to upload them somewhere.

Hint: You cannot.

In order to use the existing ZIP compression engine, you must either Batch Convert them, either setup an email account (if you don't have already), and send the zip file to yourself. It sounds crazy, but it is faster than Batch Convert a gazillion of photos or copy them in another folder and compress them using Windows Explorer or a similar tool.

Pierre, (for the beginning) we need just a window like this:

Easy, isn't?

Also, be sure to add the .zip at the end of the filename if it doesn't exist. This is a bug which is present also in Batch Convert engine. If you want the code, just give me a line.

OK, it works with send mail but I don't understand how it works in batch conversion (MP 0.64)

1. This thread is not about batch compression. It is about "Tools | Create Archive" feature

2. In Batch Convert you have to choose "ZIP" from the drop-down list of targets in the top-left corner:

Thanks, I never take a look at this menu...
