Mass conversion of selected folders to ZIP archives?

Help & Support
1

Hi, in a directory I have 100 folders. I select the first 10 of the those folders and want to achieve the following:

  1. Convert EACH of those selected folders to a ZIP archive by preserving the folder names (i.e. FOLDER1 will be converted to FOLDER1.ZIP, ecc.).

  2. After compressing, each of the selected folders should be deleted (making sure the archive contains all the files from the folder and none of the files from the origin folder has been skipped for whatever reason).

I think this is all you need:

Copy ZIP=single HERE Delete

The first line can be found in my tutorial, FWIW.

Thank you leo, this is very nice.

Is there a way to test if none of the files inside a single folder were skipped before DOpus deletes the selected folder?

There's no explicit way to do that. Opus should skip abort the button before the Delete part if the Zip part fails but I haven't tested that to be sure.

The only way, apart from errors, that a file could be skipped is if you have a Copy Filter enabled but if you do then you'll be told it's enabled when the button starts to run, before any Zips have been created.
