Second API Vendor for ZIP and UNZIP operations was added in version v2022.7.31.0
The reason we added this second (UN)ZIP source code provider is that on some occasions we had exception issues when trying to add multiple source files to a single destination zip file. It seems this second API Vendor (third party code provider) handles this better.
If you need any help with this second API Vendor, please let us know.

Q: Error management during unzip request.
We received a broken package (TAR file) in a folder processed by Limagito. The rule is to unpack any zip or tar file arriving in that folder and then move the zip or tar file.
But for the broken package “example.tar” the file remains in the folder and is processed again and again.

The file is not moved. The process never ends. I configure the error notification by mail. And this works. What would be your advice to manage this?
EX: move the file in error in another folder.
A: In version v2021.10.30.0 we added a Pascal Script var to achieve your request. psDeleteAfterCopy which is an integer can only be used in the Destination Pascal Script (0 = error occurred, we will not delete the Source file).
Some screenshots to get you started. We assume the Source (WIN, scanning compressed files) and Destination (UNZIP) part is already setup in our File Mover. So to add error management to this setup you’ll have to add ‘Pascal Script’ as second Destination. Important, the Pascal Script must come after the UNZIP.
Add the following Pascal Script code, do not forget to adjust the crErrorPath constant, it must end with \ :
Const ctErrorPath = 'C:\Test\Error\'; Begin psExitCode:= 1; // ... add your code here If psDeleteAfterCopy = 0 Then begin If psMoveFile(psFilePath + psFileName, ctErrorPath + psFileName) Then psLogWrite(1, '', 'Moved ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ' to ' + ctErrorPath) Else psLogWrite(1, '', 'Move Error of ' + psFilePath + psFileName + ' to ' + ctErrorPath); End; End.
In case of error the source file will be moved to the ctErrorPath, in our case it is: C:\Test\Error\

Q: I would like to unzip JPG from a ZIP files. Every ZIP files contain JPG, XML. I would try to extract only JPG files from ZIP, but I can’t do it. All files are extracted, that obliges me to add deletion rule to delete XML files in the target folder. Is it possible to build a rule, and ask for extract only .JPG files from ZIP ?
A: In version v2021.10.8.0 we added a new Extract Mask option in the UNZIP Destination Setup to achieve this. We immediately added an include and exclude Extract Mask.
In this example we set the ‘Extract Include Mask’ to *.jpg so only jpg files form the zip (or other compressed file) will be extracted.
