KaizenBackup*.zip doesn't reveal its contents in Windows Explorer #1

Kaizen Plugin 2.2.20 MadCap Flare 2024 Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x64

I am using the Tag Replacer which automatically creates a backup of content files in a file KaizenBackup*.zip on the Windows desktop. When opening this file in Windows, its folder is shown as empty, even if I display hidden files. The zip file also cannot be unpacked with Windows Explorer, as it claims the zip file to be "unvalid".

However, I am a user of the alternative file manager Total Commander and with this tool the zip file is working just fine. The folders and files in the zip are shown and can be extracted. So Windows Explorer seems to have a quite simple packer implementation only being able to handle very basic zip formats (I've made this experience also with encrypted zip files).

@McGerbick Thanks for reporting this! I can indeed replicate the issue, and will look into it. I'm happy to note that you can still restore the backup from the zip file within the plugin using the Kaizen Plugin > Backup > Restore from ZIP button. I'll keep you posted on any progress.
