unzip

I used to be able to upload a zipped folder of multiple files then in file management when selecting which file to choose to link to I had the option to unzip. Where is the facility to unzip files that have been uploaded in v2.0?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi there. Go  to add  a resource>file - upload your zipped folder and then click the icon to the right of its name - there are several options such as "unzip." Click "unzip" and then once unzipped the folder will have the same icon to its right again -this time, choose the "main file" option to choose which file to display.

Thanks Mary.

I wasn't getting the unzip option because I hadn't named the file with the *.zip extension in the file picker.

All works fine now, although a bit convoluted.

Hi Richard,

How would you expect Moodle to "know" that your file is a zip archive if it does not have a *.zip extension? I don't call that "convoluted" but "normal behavior".眨眼

Hi Joseph,

Maybe not convoluted, but for me non-intuitive. I would have thought that when a file is uploaded the additional step of giving a name, and extension, would not need to occur (since it already has a name and extension). Sorry if my noobness offends.

Hi Richard,

As you've found with 'Save as', unless you state the extension, it's not picked up. This is a bug - MDL-25215 - which will hopefully be fixed soon.

However, you should be able to upload a zip file and not bother renaming it and then unzip it. Does it work like this for you?

@Richard: this is exactly what I meant.

Thanks heaps Helen.

Works fine, and now makes sense to me.

I had incorrectly assumed that because the 'save as' was there it was not an option, but was required to be filled in.

Regards,

Richard.
