exported .zip files are not compatible with Windows #4

Closed jedwards1211 closed 6 years ago

jedwards1211 commented 6 years ago

For whatever, reason, .zip files exported by Walls (File > Create/Send project ZIP file...) don't open correctly on Windows; most of the files in the archive don't show up in Windows, even though all of the files extract correctly on MacOS.

This comment from Walls32/zip.cpp doesn't exactly inspire confidence:

// THIS FILE is almost entirely based upon code by info-zip.
// It has been modified by Lucian Wischik. The modifications
// were a complete rewrite of the bit of code that generates the
// layout of the zipfile, and support for zipping to/from memory
// or handles or pipes or pagefile or diskfiles, encryption, unicode.
// The original code may be found at http://www.info-zip.org
// The original copyright text follows.

So my plan is to replace it with the latest official InfoZIP code.

Actually, it turns out that the problem was it was adding files to the zip with non-canonical paths (e.g. oaxaca_walls\..\blahblah) and canonicalizing the paths fixed the problem.
