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.
