Compress Files/Folder (Table)

Options

Source column

The column containing the paths to the files/folders that must be compressed.

File

Path where the created archive should be saved.

Create missing folders

If enabled, missing folders in the specified path will be created automatically.

If exists

Specify the behavior of the node in case the output file already exists.

• Fail: Will issue an error during the node's execution (to prevent unintentional overwrite).
• Overwrite: Will replace any existing file.

Archive entry path

This mode determines what the folder structure looks like when you de-compress the archive.

• Include only the selected file/folder: When de-compressing, only the selected source file/folder and its content will be created.
• Include all folders in the source path: When de-compressing, the selected source file/folder, its content, and all parent folders will be created. Those additional folders don't contain any other files/folders other than those to be compressed.
• Include all folders in the source path succeeding the prefix: Behaves like Include all folders in the source path, except that the specified folder prefix (the beginning of the path) is stripped and those folders will not be created when de-compressing. Note: This mode might produce invalid archive entries that cannot be de-compressed; the node will fail in that case.
• From table column: The archive entry name is taken from the selected table column. When de-compressing, the created folder structure will match the paths in that column. Note: This mode might produce invalid archive entry names; the node will fail in that case.

Folder prefix

The path prefix to strip from the beginning of each source path. Folders matching this prefix will not be created when de-compressing the archive.

Entry name column

The column containing the archive entry names. Both path columns and string columns are accepted. When de-compressing, the created folder structure will match the entries in this column.

Compression

The compression/archive format to use for the output file. Supported formats: zip, jar, tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, cpio. If the compression format is changed, the file extension of the archive is adapted automatically.

• zip: ZIP compression format
• jar: JAR compression format
• tar: TAR compression format (uncompressed)
• tar.gz: TAR with GZIP compression
• tar.bz2: TAR with BZIP2 compression
• cpio: CPIO compression format

Include empty folders

If enabled, empty folders found within the source path will be included in the archive.
