need computer/zip-related help from someone who knows shit about shit

[Lasse Lammert]

Sorry for posting this in the main, but I wanna provide you with your samples asap....
I'm going fucking nuts here!

I've got these folders with all the wavs and TCIs I wanna zip and upload....
but every time I zip and than unzip to check there are some of the TCIs randomly missing...I've tried 3-4 different archiving programs and 3 different computers, then I sent it to Greg and he zipped it on a mac and on a PC...and again, same problem....it's like tome TCIs can't be zipped for some reason, they're just missing after unzipping the folder again.

I've tried everything and am goinf fucking crazy....does anyone of you have a clue what's causing this?
I wanna supply you with the samples ASAP, but this is driving me fucking mental

Have you tried making a separate ZIP for only the files that won't archive properly? Does the archive appear empty that way?

 

[Morgan C]

What programs have you used?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Jarkko: no, as it's different files every time., gonna try it now anyways

What programs have you used?

what haven't I used...7zip, stuffit, rar, winzip...dunno, tried like 4 different ones and then Greg tried 2 more

Did any of the archivers give you some kind of error? No file should be missing unless it spits out an error :\

 

[Morgan C]

It's a longshot, but if the .wav's are compressing well but the .tci's aren't, try renaming the .tci's to something else, then zip them, and put a readme telling us to rename them back. I dunno why this would be... not an issue of hard drive space?

 

[jipchen]

Send me the files and I'll try

You could still try (on a Mac): The Unarchiver and sArchiver

 

[LeSedna]

Have you tried zip/unzipping only 1 .tci to see how it goes ?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

fucking got it to fucking work..fuck!

uploading now, will let you know when it's up (in about 1 hr)....
damn those fucking TCIs

Tell us what happened so we can laugh at you
