Hi, @zirneklitis
I'm curious what your use case is, why would you want to open a Windows zip installation package on a Linux system? on Windows the \
is a valid path delimiter, but yes we didn't has a subdirectory for that zip file.
Hi.
As I have mentioned, '\' delimiter is not a valid delimiter for any ZIP file. (https://pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT 4.4.17.1 ).
In my case I am managing my Windows-based computer class through my Linux system.
More info:
Yes I know that but it made on Windows by some windows tools, so it just valid on Windows but not following ZIP stand 4.4.17.1, we using powershell Compress-Archive
to compress a .zip file, see here:https://github.com/jasp-stats/jasp-desktop/blob/e5877e750eca076932dcf174be486a0d6523bdd7/Tools/windows/zip/ZIP.cmd.in#L15C1-L15C28 and which dose not following the standard by Microsoft, see:https://github.com/PowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive/issues/54
@boutinb @RensDofferhoff maybe we can set a 7zip installer on our buildbot and made ZIP files from it to following the standard. or we can just using msys2(from Rtools44) to run a zip command zip a.zip
but I must admit this is not a priority as it is not the use case for the vast majority of people on Windows.
I also have a use case. Testing stuff via older releases on linux via wine. E.g. to see if some result differs from jasp to jasp version. I used wine in the past using the msi installer on linux, but that one does not work for every release. To have the zip as a fallback would be cool since flatpak has nothing like this to go back in time.
Interesting issue! I like your idea @shun2wang I'm doing buildbot work anyway so I might just do 7zip instead. weird that the MS tool doesn't follow the standard
I implemented this on our new buildbot VM. It will build a development nightly this evening. We now use the zip shipped with Rtools as suggested by @shun2wang . This should resolve this issue.

Linux
Bug Description
The archivator, which is used for creating releases' ZIP files (e.g. JASP-0.19.0.0-Windows.zip), does not respect ZIP file specification. As the result Zip files expand with backslashes on Linux, no subdirectories. Files with fancy names are created like "translations\qtwebengine_locales\lv.pak".
Expected Behaviour
The necessary subdirectories should be created while unpacking the file.
