Students open artifact zip files prior to submitting them #53

Closed mfthomps closed 2 years ago

mfthomps commented 3 years ago

Click-happy students sometimes use the GUI file manager to open artifacts in their xfer directory, and then somehow manage to submit content of the zip file to their instructor rather than the complete zip file.

We will change the file extension of artifact files from ".zip" to ".lab" and throw some bytes into a preamble to confuse the GUI file managers. This will not prevent instructors from unzipping the files via the command line, since zip is quite forgiving.
