That was it. Trying unzip -l ARCHIVE on my linuxbox showed no explicit
entry for the directory, although that is created by GUI tools when
extracting the archive. The "Archive Managher" GUI tool however shows a
dir inferred by the entry names, e.g.:
rootfolder/filename.pdf
The zip came from a rather non-techie client as a testcase, will need to
check out how it was created. This may not be a bug but it could be a
valid a feature request, e.g. a flag to control whether entries should
be constructed for such folders.
In my case I need to iterate for folders first and make appropriate
business/DB calls before actually extracting each file so this is a
liability I accidentally stumbled upon before going live ;-)
Many thanks for your patience and help.
