Converting File/Directory to Zip

Post by arielb »

After half an hour of reviewing each menu option and poring through the incomprehensible user directory, I still can't figure out how to convert a file or directory to a compressed Zip format. The option for Add to Zip is blanked out when I click on File - File Special. Can anybody help? Thanks.

After another half an hour of experimentation and trying to understand the user manual, I finally figured out that one must "show 64 bit context menu" in order to get this functionality.

How on earth the average computer user is supposed to figure all of this out is beyond my comprehension. I'm an experienced computer user (albeit not a computer programmer), and it took me a full hour to finally figure this out. Ridiculous!

By default it's a right click, Zip - Add to Zip...

Show 64 bit context menu has nothing to do with that.
