Hello again!

I'm using pack files action to compress a folder but I have 2 issues:

1- If there's an empty subfolder, it doesn't get added to the zipped structure. Only subfolders with files inside are added. This brakes the structure of the compressed folder.

2- Whenever I compress a folder, the full path to the folder is added to the structure, for example compressing "C:\Users\Rafa\Desktop\Folder\*.*" adds the folder "Users\Rafa\Desktop\Folder" to the structure of the compressed file and then the files that I choose, inside the folder. How can I stop this to exclude the full path off the structure? I tried "junk folder names" option but that removes all folders.

Thank you!

...If there's an empty subfolder, it doesn't get added to the zipped structure...

Pack files in version 6.8 contains new parameter: Include empty folders
Turn this option ON. See screenshot below:

There is small trick.
Suppose we need to pack the folder c:\User Data\john\pictures with subfolders but we don't need full path from root.
1. Change current folder to the folder c:\userDate\john\pictures (see action Change Folder)
2. Next, pack files by mask *.*. You do not need to specify folder, just pack all files in the current folder.

Thank you, I'll give it a try!
