The two bugs mentioned in this thread ( the revZip on Windows and the snapshot) sound like good candidates for the Top Ten Bugs survey that LiveCode Ltd. had run a year or so ago. It was a success it seemed and there was talk at the of running that survey again. Panos, Mark, Any plans for ru

Have you considered chunking the problem up and using compress v revZip library? I ran into something similar when I wanted to keep memory down for encrypting/decrypting multi-gig log files…got a lot of advice about just using shell—but for the same sorts of reasons as you I wanted to do things

Hi Sean, I wonder if you could open the unzipper as a process in LC. Then your app could probably receive realtime updates from it and let the user what's going on. I've done that before but it was a long time ago, so I have forgotten more than I remember. HTH - Phil Davis On 10/11/22 1:

Hi Paul I got affected by that and other win revzip issues too. I ended up parsing them through a shell script and using windows built in unzipper. Of course the downfall with that is a lack of feedback on progress which, for large files like this, requires a great deal of time to process and f

Hi Richard, Thank you for your reply. Actually it's kind of weird : after running the script a few times in the Applescript editor, it started to work again in LC... May be it was something in my setup, I don't know. Best, Le 2022-10-11 15:27, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode a écrit : jbv wrot

We just got bit by a 4+ year old bug (See https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20859) where the revZIP library on macOS can create and read ZIP archives over 2GB, BUT the Windows library can not. We distribute our desktop research application as "cross-platform" for macOS and Windows
