Service to "Make Protected Zip" files
I tried out the modified version posted by Chocky with the password hidden and it (mostly) works fine. I did however find a few issues.
1. It includes all the parent hierarchy in the zip file it produces, i.e. if your in /Users/youraccount/Downloads and select a file and make a zip it will contain not only your selection but the parent hierarchy of Users/youraccount/Downloads/ as well. This is because the version written by Chocky (and the original by ThomasMyers) include the -j flag in the command. (Probably related to the following two issues.) Note: This is contrary to the behaviour of the built-in 'Compress' command provided by Apple in the Finder. 2. If you try to make a zip of a package type file the result when decompressed does not restore a working package. 3. If you try to make a zip of a normal folder it fails completely. I have fixed all the above issues, the modified version is listed below. Tested only under Mountain Lion so far.
