Hi there, we have a problem with an intranet that runs using plone 2.5.3
when users using IE want to open a zip file from the intranet by using the "open" option from the download dialog they get winzip complaining that the file is corrupted. if they select "save" from the same dialog they can open the zip archive without problem.
does anyone know a solution for this or give me an idea where to look for one?
The INSTALL.txt of CMFPlone says this about WinZip: * Unpacking the Plone archive with WinZip will not work: WinZip will truncate filenames without warning you. 7-Zip is a good open source alternative for Windows that you can use instead: http://www.7-zip.org That does not look like the same error you are getting, so the other answers are probably better, but still using 7-zip might solve this. My 2 cents. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ "This is your day, don't let them take it away." [Barlow Girl]
