Archiving a large ISO file and small TXT files

Post by KLASS »

There were errors during archiving and only 2 files in the archive instead of 4.

Archiving in Windows Explorer

I've did nearly the same.

Created 3 empty files

Code: Select all

_Readme_.txt
menu.lst
winsetup.lst
And put ODROID-C2-20190413-Debian-Buster.img (1.75 GB large) into the same folder

Zipping it in the same way leads to one error dialog: File not found or no read permission.

The .zip is created but the file after the .img file is not in the archive (winsetup.lst)...

Neither of these 4 files is previewed or opened in any other application (or mounted)

The file was not found or there is no read permission.

A few more size tests:
<= 152 MB - Works fine, no errors
>= 171 MB - File not found or no read permission.
I've tested with more than one file for the size ranges. I've seen an additional "Missing or empty Zip file." error message when I tried it with a 603 MB .iso file

<= 152 МБ - работает нормально, ошибок нет
> = 171 МБ - файл не найден или нет разрешения на чтение.
Yes, error with large files and no matter what type of file.
I tried with a large PDF (200 MB), the file next in the folder after the large PDF is not in the archive.

XY is using the Windows's ZipFolder machine here. I have no control about anything it does.

Try the same, Don, this time with Windows Explorer by selecting all files (with a 200 MB+ one) -> SendTo -> Compressed (zipped) folder

No errors... So there is something fishy

Confirmed! :tup:

It's a race condition. I did not find a way to determine how long a certain process takes, so I just wait for "some time". In this case "some time" is not enough. I'll see what I can do...

Should be fixed in the next beta.

When the compression is finished, I get this error message: "Missing or empty Zip file." with the new beta...

138 MB .iso file: All good, no error
248 MB .iso file: Above error

No! Download all the files from here and archive them.

Are you zipping a whole folder with all its contents or a bunch of individual files?
