Ah I see what you mean. That makes sense but since neither of us seems too confident, I'll wait to see if a native French speaker comes along. If not, I think I'll commit the original patch since it at least corrects the discordance of singular/plural without trying to do anything more. Scott

I agree it would be normal to refer to 'des fichiers zip' where the type was incidental or inevitable in view of the context; I was responding on the assumption that the context was an introduction of the idea that they were of a particular type. However, I don't have the whole context and it may be that the previous text refers to compressed files and this simply reinforces it - in which case, my suggestion doesn't add anything to what you already have.

What would you put before "du genre fichier zip"? "des fichiers du genre fichier zip"? That sounds strange to my (also non-native) ears. A google search shows that "du genre fichier zip" and "des fichiers du genre zip" return 3 results. "des fichiers zip" returns 974,000. Scott
