Question & Answer
Question
How can you use Winzip to zip all folders, including empty folders in an IBM® Rational® TestManager (TM) Datastore?
Cause
Many customers experience problems with datastores. It is often necessary for Technical Support to request a copy of the user"s test project. A common problem is that the user will use WinZip to compact the project before mailing it in. WinZip will not always zip "empty" folders.
Answer
WinZip saves path information for files from recursed folders as a matter of course. The empty folder name entries are normally not displayed in the WinZip window.
Use Microsoft"s "regedit" utility from the "run" option of the start menu.This will allow you to add a key to the registry to display the folder names in the WinZip window. Locate the Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinZip
The "string value" key "ShowDirEntries" can be added, and then set to"1"; This will display the empty folder entries in the WinZip window.
This solution contains information about modifying the system registry. Before making any modifications to the Microsoft Registry Editor, it is strongly recommended that you make a backup of the existing registry. For more information describing how to back up the registry, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 256986 |
