Hi,
I don't use the create split archives function very often, so I am not sure if these problems are new to the latest beta, have existed for a longer time, or are simply caused by me, but I can't seem to get normal split archives.
When I try to create a split archive from a folder with the settings shown in the dialogue below, I get the two files as shown in the lister, one with a zip extension and the other one with a z01 extension.
This seems strange to me. All I have ever seen are patterns like "file.part1.zip", "file.part2.zip". The archive can be opened, but only by double-clicking the smaller zip file (which is actually part two of this archive). This would be OK for me personally, but not for sharing files, since it would not be obvious to other people.
I have also tried using the split files tool from the menu bar. This appears to function well when I use one of the default settings, but when I try to split an existing archive with custom settings, even stranger things happen. Here an example with the chunk size set to 160 MB:
This gives me a total of 224 1.39 MB files and one 297 KB one, instead of the expected two zip files. All of these are of the format shown in the visible part of the lister and the resulting split archive cannot be opened, since none of them has an actual zip extension.
Am I doing something wrong here or is DOpus playing tricks on me?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
