Title: Selling Zipped Files
Post by: redwater on July 18, 2013, 16:05
Hi All,
I'm planning to upload zipped files to my symbiostock site. Is there a software that would zip each 1, 2 or 3 files as one zipped file. I am currently doing it for every file batch but it's taking a long time. I also tried googling it but to no success. Anyone know of a software or a program that can do this? Thanks in advance.

If you are running a Mac, you can probably find an Automator script.

Thanks for that, but sorry I'm running on Windows 8. Any other ideas? I'm just currently selecting and right clicking them to zipped file which i a bit of a hassle :(

right click => New compressed/zipped folder => select the files you want and drag them into the zipped folder; every file you put into the folder will be automatically zipped.

winzip and WinRAR both work great -- you just indicate the files you want included and it zips them together

I've started doing this in my 'collections' category and will be adding many more  this way

yup, that's what i'm currently doing. but is there a script/program/software app that can automatically do that if you have hundreds of files to individually zip?
