File: mergeall-products/unzipped/test/ziptools/docetc/1.1-upgrades/_README.txt
This folder demos and documents new features in version 1.1.
See the top-level README's "Versions" section for a full
list of 1.1 upgrades. All demos here were run on Mac OS
(Unix) except as noted. Items here:
autoglobs-errortests.txt
Demos 1.1's create-source auto-globbing (i.e., filename
expansion), and some of its improved error checking.
exfat-fix-folder-modtimes.png
Captures the fix for exFAT folder mod times on Mac OS:
the LEFT is ziptools 1.0, the RIGHT is 1.1.
exfat-has-no-unix-perms.*
Captures exFAT's lack of support for Unix-style permissions.
original-perms-noperms.png
Captures the effect of the new permissions support for files,
folders, and symlinks: the LEFT panel is the original folder,
the MIDDLE shows it zipped/unzipped in 1.1 with -permissions,
and the RIGHT panel is 1.1's results without -permissions.
These results were created in verify-1.1-permissions.txt.
py-2.X-3.X-zipoff.txt
Demos Python 2.X and 3.X zipping and unzipping the same
content on Unix; results are the same, sans symlink modtimes.
py-2.X-fixes.txt
Describes improvements made for running ziptools on Python
2.X in version 1.1: non-ASCII filenames 2.X zips are now more
portable, and do not trigger exceptions when printed to pipes.
verify-1.1-permissions.txt
Demos 1.1 with and without permissions propagation, in
a short console log. This also show's 1.1's new counter
statistics at the end of runs, and new interactive prompt.
See original-perms-noperms.png for graphical results.
verify-1.1-permissions2.txt
Demos 1.1 permissions in a console log again, full outputs.
windows-roundtrip-links-perms.png
Demos the effects of copying Unix symlinks and permissions to
and from Windows. The LEFT panel is the original folder on Unix;
the RIGHT is the same on Unix after zipping on Unix, unzipping
and rezipping on Windows, and unzipping on Unix again. symlinks
survive the journey (sans modtimes) but all but read-only
permissions are lost. ziptools can do no better.
platform-demos/
Has a handful of screenshots and logs from Windows and
Android as a sample of cross-platform ziptools usage.
See also ../1.2-upgrades/more-platform-demos/ for related
Android and Windows demos captured after 1.1's release.
