Create Windows-compatible zip files via AppleScript
Authored by: geppo1982 on Sep 14, '05 10:22:50AM

I wrote an automator workflow to zip files from the Finder contextual menu without Mac resouces and .DS_Store files.

This workflow seems to work fine with single and multiple files/folders but it doesn't include in the zip archive any files or folders with .DS_Store at the end of the name (for example "My house.DS_Store"). I think this is not a big issue beacause I never had a file with .DS_Store in the name but I also think It's important for you to know this.

To download the file, copy and paste this address into your favourite web browser:

http://geppo1982.altervista.org/WinZipper.zip

Then copy the file into: ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder

I also wrote a similar Automator workflow to create rar archives. If you like I'll post a link to download it.

Sorry for my bad English.
