Zipping File Storage Downloads
I had a question about file storage download functionality.
If I click on the box next to current folder X, select Download Zip from the action drop-down, and click Do, the system bundles up all 10 files in folder X and delivers a zip file to the directory I specify. Perfect. However, if I select 2 files in folder X and try to download them, I get odd results. Earlier today I got one of the files inside the zip, now tonight I'm getting an empty zip file. I'd hope to get a zip file with the two files I marked inside, but it's not working that way. Just tried the same thing with one file from folder X with the same empty zip file result. Did I miss something in the mega-thread about file storage functionality? Not a big deal during beta while bandwidth isn't being counted, but I'd sure like to be able to load a subset of a folder once it counts against bandwidth. |

Can't download files, zip or no
I can't download files at all from the file storage. I had success with one file (the first one I tried), but the second two download as empty (0 byte) files, whether I do a zip or not. I actually lost some work because of this... I guess I shouldn't have relyed on such a new feature, boo hoo
It is possible that the upload failed in some way, but the interface reports that the files are >0 bytes, and I got no errors during the upload. I uploaded with IE and tried to download with IE and Mozilla. Cheers, Kevin |

Ah. That's it. Once I removed the spaces in the filenames I was able to download the zip with multiple files.

The downloading should work with spaces too now ... I had the same problem, so I asked Richard, and he responded just now that it has been fixed ... and indeed, it does work for me! How about you?

Yep - I can now use the zip feature to download multiple files in a folder that have spaces in their names!
