OT: need advice for keeping file flags in a zip
Hello, still struggeling with keeping the locked flag of a file when zipping and unzipping. I followed exactly Thierries advice to use following syntax: ditto -c -k --sequesterRsrc SrcFolder testditto.zip and though a locked file in Thierries environment is still locked after unzipping, in my environment (MacOS 10.5.8) the file isn't locked anymore after unzipping. So the difference must be in any other test parameter. What I have tried is following: - Actually I am not sure, if the flag gets lost while zipping or unzipping. Anyhow, after unzipping, controlling the information of the file, the flag is lost - I tried different zip tools for zipping and unzipping (ditto, 7zip, gui tar) with same result - Originally my locked file resides within a bundle, but I tested also with a single locked testfile in the source folder with same result - I tested different compression formats (zip, CPIO) with ditto with same result - When using the ditto option -v (just copying a file) the locked flag is kept, but not with -c (creating a compressed archive) - I also tested the ditto options: ditto -c -k --rsrc --extattr SrcFolder testditto.zip with same result So it seems like my problem isn't the zipping and I am overlooking something obvious outside the zipping process. My Mac knowledge is so small, that I really stuck here, what could cause such a different behavior: OS version, User permission (I have full rights), ditto handling,.?

Bonjour Thierry, thank you for caring :) and though a locked file in Thierries environment is still locked after unzipping, in my environment (MacOS 10.5.8) the file isn't locked anymore after unzipping. MacOS 10.6 here. Could it be this ? new ditto version in it ? Actually I don't think so, it must be something more obvious - so obvious, that I don't see it And I think this must be such a standard behavior, which hasn't changed since ages. - I tried different zip tools for zipping and unzipping (ditto, 7zip, gui tar) with same result No, no ! --sequesterRsrc works only with PKZip No no, I didn't tried to use the ditto parameters with the other tools :). I just tested the other tools with their standard gui without any special parameters, just to see, if it is a ditto issue. Do in a terminal: ditto -h Usage: ditto [ options ] src [ ... src ] dst options are any of: ... -X do not descend into directories with a different device ID .. -c create an archive at dst (by default CPIO format) -x src(s) are archives -z gzip compress CPIO archive -j bzip2 compress CPIO archive -k archives are PKZip --sequesterRsrc copy resources via polite directory (PKZip only) Yes I am studying the man ditto since days and tried all combinations of parameters so that I now think it has nothing to do with the zipping tool, but something completely different. Something like ... ?
