避免使用Xceed.Zip.QuickZip.Zip实用程序创建不必要的目录

Question

I am using the paid version of Xceed.Zip.QuickZip.Zip utility in my application to compress a folder that contains files and directories. Here is the Xceed Zip command that I am using

Xceed.Zip.Licenser.LicenseKey = XceedZipKey;
Xceed.Zip.QuickZip.Zip(ZipFilePath, true, true, true, filesToZip);

ZipFilePath is the name of thr final zip including the path where the zip will be created. So it is like D:\\MyData/MyZip.zip .

And, filesToZip is like this D:\\MyDataToZip\\Versions\\\\*.* .

So when the zip is created, I see a MyDataToZip folder, which contains Versions folder and then everything that is inside the Version folder.

But I want the zip to not contain the MyDataToZip & Versions folder. It should start from Versions folder. How can I achieve that?

Please note that my application is built on .Net 4.0, so I can't use System.IO.Compression.

Answer 1

Use the Xceed FileSystem API in order to preserve the file paths from the target folder down.

public void ZipFolder(string zipFilePath, string folderPath, bool recursive, bool replaceExistingFiles, params object[] filters)
{
    AbstractFile zipFile = new DiskFile(zipFilePath);
    ZipArchive zip = new ZipArchive(zipFile);

    using (AutoBatchUpdate batch = new AutoBatchUpdate(zip))
    {
        AbstractFolder sourceFolder = new DiskFolder(folderPath);
        sourceFolder.CopyFilesTo(zip, recursive, replaceExistingFiles, filters);
    }
}

Answer 2

you need to use

Xceed.Zip.QuickZip.Zip(ZipFilePath, true, true, false, filesToZip);

as the 4th parameter is:

preservePaths Boolean value indicating if the directory structure should be preserved in the zip file.
