Automating the Project Zip function

Hello

Is there a way of running of the Flare Zip Project function automatically? Can it be run from the command line or from a batch file?

Thanks in advance

Michelle

Just Google, "vbs zip folder" and you should find some code for a batch file. But wouldn't that be the same as clicking Zip Project within Flare?

I was thinking the same thing, except Flare's zipped files have certain behaviours that I don't think running a batch file to copy files to a zipped archive will achieve.

It looks as if the zipped files are handled from within Flare using some form of zip tool. In other words, Flare is handling the zipping and unzipping transparently.

If the OP is using this as an archive the zipping outside of Flare option should work just fine.
