Probably due to the windows heritage of drag'n'drop to the desktop and linux heritage of working with source codes. This is another advantage to zipping the whole directory by name.

But using -r includes the directory itself, which breaks what I'm doing. Show 11 more comments. Radon Rosborough Radon Rosborough 1 1 gold badge 7 7 silver badges 15 15 bronze badges. There's no mkv here? Also nothing here is particularly zsh -specific. Secondly, quoting arguments is unnecessary in zsh , unlike in bash.

That's why I specified that this was a command for zsh.

Using -e will allow directories to be used as well zip zipfile. It would be slower than most of the other methods, but is relatively simple. I would say this is less simple than the accepted answer, and slower, which prompts the question: "Why would anyone do this? If you can answer that question, I recommend you put that context in your answer, otherwise I think it is a bad answer to an old question that has a good answer already.

Centimane: I note the limitations. DataBind ;. Add New ListItem Path. GetFileName filePath , filePath. End If. End Sub. When the Download Button is clicked, first an object of the DotNetZip Library is created and a loop is executed over the GridView rows and the all the files for which the Checkbox is checked are added to the Zip object.

This example shows how to create and extract a zip archive by using the ZipFile class. It compresses the contents of a folder into a zip archive, and then extracts that content to a new folder.

To use the ZipFile class, you must reference the System. FileSystem assembly in your project. The directory structure from the file system is preserved in the archive. If the directory is empty, an empty archive is created.

This method overload does not include the base directory in the archive and does not allow you to specify a compression level. If you want to include the base directory or specify a compression level, call the CreateFromDirectory String, String, CompressionLevel, Boolean method overload.

If the archive already exists, an IOException exception is thrown. If an entry with the specified name already exists in the archive, a second entry is created with an identical name. If a file in the directory cannot be added to the archive, the archive is left incomplete and invalid, and the method throws an IOException exception.

One of the enumeration values that indicates whether to emphasize speed or compression effectiveness when creating the entry.

When compressing the archive, the base directory is included and the compression level is set to emphasize the speed of the operation over efficiency. Use this method overload to specify the compression level and whether to include the base directory in the archive.
